A deletion affecting an LRR-RLK gene co-segregates with the fruit flat shape trait in peach

Abstract In peach, the flat phenotype is caused by a partially dominant allele in heterozygosis (Ss), fruits from homozygous trees (SS) abort a few weeks after fruit setting. Previous research has identified a SSR marker (UDP98–412) highly associated with the trait, found suitable for marker assiste...
