Investigations on the genetic mechanisms of flower development and shelf-life in sweet cherry
Project
Project code: JKI-ZGO-08-4204
Contract period: 01.08.2017
- 31.12.2020
Purpose of research: Applied research
In the frame of this project genetic mechanisms of flower development (chilling requirement, bud break, flowering time) and shelf-life will be investigated in cooperation with the Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology Holovousy Ltd. (RBIP Holovousy, Czech Republik). For chilling requirement a set of cultivars differing in this trait will be phenotyped over several years at both sides (Holovousy and Dresden). The temporal expression of candidate genes in flower buds will be studied in parallel. Promising candidate genes will sequenced. Differences in the gene sequences will be used to establish molecular markers. For bud break and flowering time a segregating F1-population will be established and planted at both institutions. This population will be used for future studies on QTL mapping. For shelf-life a set of cultivars will be selected and used to establish common phenotyping protocols.
