Genetic and cytological analyses reveal the recombination landscape of a partially differentiated plant sex chromosome in kiwifruit.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Apple is a widely cultivated fruit crop for its quality properties and extended storability. Among the several quality factors, texture is the most important and appreciated, and within the apple variety panorama the cortex texture shows a broad range of variability. Anatomically these variations depend on d...
