Abstract:
Malus hybrid 'SH6' (M. honanensis × M. domestica)is a commonly used apple interstock in China, known for its excellent dwarfing characteristics and cold tolerance. In this study, a combined strategy utilizing PacBio HiFi, Hi-C and parental resequencing data were employed to assemble two haploid genomes for 'SH6'. After chromosome anchoring, the final hapH genome size was 596.63 Mb, with a contig N50 of 34.38 Mb. The hapR genome was 649.37 Mb, with a contig N50 of 36.84 Mb. Further analysis predicted that repeated sequences made up 59.69% and 62.52% of the entire genome, respectively. Gene annotations revealed 45,435 genes for hapH and 48,261 genes for hapR. Combined with genomic synteny we suggest that the hapR genome originates from its maternal parent M. domestica cv. Ralls Janet, while the hapH genome comes from its paternal parent, M. honanensis. The assembled genome significantly contributes to the discovery of genes associated with apple dwarfing and the molecular mechanisms governing them.

02:27Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
