Book excerpt: This book describes the basic botanical features of kiwifruit and its wild relatives, reports on the steps that led to its genome sequencing, and discusses the results obtained with the assembly and annotation. The core chapters provide essential insights into the main gene families that characterize this species as a crop, including the genes controlling sugar and starch metabolism, pigment biosynthesis and degradation, the ascorbic-acid pathway, fruit softening and postharvest metabolism, allergens, and resistance to pests and diseases. The book offers a valuable reference guide for taxonomists, geneticists and horticulturists. Further, since information gained from the genome sequence is extraordinarily useful in assessing the breeding value of individuals based on whole-genome scans, it will especially benefit plant breeders. Accordingly, chapters are included that focus on gene introgression from wild relatives and genome-based breeding.

Book excerpt: Flowering plants produce a wide variety of fruiting structures, each regulated by the differential expression of a conserved group of genes. The patterning of tissues leading to such diverse fruiting bodies is set early in development by the genes required for carpel development. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, both AGAMOUS and SEPALLATA are required to establish normal carpel identity; however, the fruit produced are dry and dehiscent. This is in marked contrast to the edible fruit of the fleshy model plant tomato (Solanum sp.). While kiwifruit (Actinidia sp.) fruits are similar to tomato in that they are also classified as a berry, the kiwifruit ovary is formed from the fusion of a much higher number of carpels. The aims of this research were to identify carpel identity genes from the kiwifruit genome and investigate the expression patterns of these genes and protein products in the context of flesh patterning. Arabidopsis protein sequences were used identify homologous protein sequences in kiwifruit. Candidate genes identified from the protein sequences were amplified from kiwifruit floral bud tissue to generate RNA probes. Kiwifruit floral bud structure was investigated using a range of microscopy techniques, mRNA transcripts of selected candidate genes were detected using in situ hybridisation, while the protein product of kiwifruit AGAMOUS (Acc20728.1- AG1) was detected using immunolocalisation. This research has shown that kiwifruit have a larger zone of AGAMOUS (Acc20728.1-AG1) expression compared to model plants. During development, transcripts were expressed at the highest level over the distal portion of the pistil and became isolated within the epidermal and subepidermal tissue layers of the ovary, as well as the locules and stigma. Transcripts were not associated with the developing vasculature network. Kiwifruit AGAMOUS (Acc20728.1-AG1) proteins were located throughout the ovary in both the outer pericarp and core tissue, specifically within the nucleolus. Overall, this research has shown that the pattern of kiwifruit AGAMOUS transcript and protein expression is similar to the pattern of the model plants Arabidopsis and tomato. The location of identified transcripts provides further evidence that flesh patterning may occur in the absence of AGAMOUS once carpel identity has been established.

Book excerpt: Kiwifruit is one of the few fruit crops that has been successfully introduced to the marketplace and for which commercial production in several countries has expanded rapidly over the last 50 years. Kiwifruit science and production has advanced significantly during this time, with multiple new green-, yellow- and red-fleshed cultivars being commercialized while moving into the era of genomics, sustainability, digital technology and automation. This book reviews the scientific and technical information published on kiwifruit, their biology and management. It provides a comprehensive reference on kiwifruit, including their history, genetic material, culture, physiology, pest and disease control, and fruit consumption. Particular attention is given to recent threats and opportunities, including environmental issues, the disease Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, new genetics, new growing areas and technology advances. Contributions from a wide range of international specialists ensure coverage of key aspects of kiwifruit and their culture in different environments.

Book excerpt: Fruit ripening is an important aspect of fruit production. The timing of it affects supply chains and buying behaviour, and for consumers ripeness not only affects perceptions of health but has nutritional effects too. Ripeness is closely related to spoilage which has a major financial impact on agricultural industries. Currently there are fast moving developments in knowledge of the factors affecting fruit ripeness, and this up-to-date monograph seeks to draw together the disparate research in this area. The aim of the book is to produce a comprehensive account covering almost every area related to fruit ripening including the latest molecular mechanisms regulating fruit ripening, its impact on human nutrition and emerging research and technologies.

Book excerpt: This book describes the strategy used for sequencing, assembling and annotating the tomato genome and presents the main characteristics of this sequence with a special focus on repeated sequences and the ancestral polyploidy events. It also includes the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a major crop plant as well as a model for fruit development, and the availability of the genome sequence has completely changed the paradigm of the species’ genetics and genomics. The book describes the numerous genetic and genomic resources available, the identified genes and quantitative trait locus (QTL) identified, as well as the strong synteny across Solanaceae species. Lastly, it discusses the consequences of the availability of a high-quality genome sequence of the cultivated species for the research community. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the genetics and genomics of tomato and Solanaceae.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deliberates on the concept, strategies, tools, and techniques of allele mining in fruit crops and its application potential in genome elucidation and improvement including studying allele evolution, discovery of superior alleles, discerning new haplotypes, assessment of intra- and interspecific similarity, and also studies of gene expression and gene prediction. Available gene pools in global germplasm collections specifically consisting of wild allied species and local landraces for almost all major crops have facilitated allele mining. Advanced genomic techniques have been developed including PCR-based allele priming and Eco-TILLING-based allele mining that are being widely used now for mining superior alleles. Allele discovery has become more relevant now for employing molecular breeding to develop designed crop varieties matching with consumer needs and also with genome plasticity to adapt the climate change scenarios. All these concepts and strategies along with precise success stories are presented over the chapters dedicated to the major fruit crops. The features of this book are as follows: The first book on the novel strategy of allele mining in fruit crops for precise breeding Presents genomic strategies of mining superior alleles underlying agronomic traits from genomic resources Depicts case studies of PCR-based allele priming and Eco-TILLING-based allele mining Elaborates on gene discovery and gene prediction in major fruit crops This book will be useful to students and faculties in various plant science disciplines including genetics, genomics, molecular breeding, agronomy, and bioinformatics; scientists in seed industries; and also policy makers and funding agencies interested in crop improvement.

Since the very successful first edition of this book in 2004, there has been rapid progress for many fruit and nut species in cell culture, genomics and genetic transformation, especially for citrus and papaya. This book covers both these cutting-edge technologies and regeneration pathways, protoplast culture, in vitro mutagenesis, ploidy manipulation techniques that have been applied to a wider range of species. Three crop species, Diospyros kaki (persimmon), Punica granatum (pomegranate) and Eriobotrya japonica (loquat) are included for the first time. The chapters are organized by plant family to make it easier to make comparisons and exploitation of work with related species. Each chapter discusses the plant family and the related wild species for 38 crop species, and has colour illustrations. It is essential for scientists and post graduate students who are engaged in the improvement of fruit, nut and plantation crops.
