This book collates the most up to date information on Fragaria, and
Rubus genomes. It focuses on the latest advances in the model
system Fragaria vesca, along with the allied advances in
economically important crops. Covering both basic and applied
aspects of crop genomics, it illustrates strategies and resources
for the study and utilization of genome sequences and aligned
functional genomics resources. Rosaceous berries are collectively
an increasingly important set of high-value global crops, with a
trade value of over GBP2 billion dollars per annum. The rosaceous
berries strawberry, raspberry and blackberry share some common
features at the genome scale, namely a range of ploidy levels in
each genus and high levels of heterozygosity (and associated
inbreeding depression) due to self-incompatibility systems, dioecy,
or multispecies hybridization events. Taken together, although the
genomes are relatively compact, these biological features lead to
significant challenges in the assembly and analysis of berry
genomes, which until very recently have hampered the progress of
genome-level studies. The genome of the woodland strawberry,
Fragaria vesca, a self-compatible species with a homozygous genome
was first sequenced in 2011 and has served as a foundation for most
genomics work in Fragaria and to some extent Rubus. Since that
time, building upon this resource, there have been significant
advances in the development of genome sequences for related crop
species. This, coupled with the revolution in affordable sequencing
technology, has led to a suite of genomics studies on Fragaria and
more recently Rubus, which undoubtedly aid crop breeding and
production in future years.
