Pedigree analysis of 220 almond genotypes reveals two world mainstream breeding lines based on only three different cultivars

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Felipe Pérez de los Cobos from the southern hemisphere (South America, Australia, and South Africa) Wide cultivation of almond, often under the more severe environments of Central Asia and the Mediterranean region, was possible because of the availability of a highly diverse gene pool, genetic recombination promoted by its self-incompatibility, and possibly, by interspecific hybridization and gene introgression involving other members of the Amygdalus subgenus. As a result, almond is an extremely variable species, with a high morphological and physiological diversity. This variability, measured with biochemical and molecular markers7-9, has revealed that almond . . .
