Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Prunus persica Cultivars Revealed by Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS)
Journal: Horticulturae
Year: 2025

Peach (Prunus persica (L.)) is one of the major commercial stone fruit crops. A genetic analysis of peach collections around the world is essential for effective breeding programmes, and the development of genomic and marker-assisted selection. This study focuses on research on peach collection at the Nikita Botanical Garden and aims to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the genome level and analyse the genetic diversity, population structure, and the linkage disequilibrium (LD)
