| Abstract: | Background Strawberry (Fragaria spp.) is the familiar name of a group of economically important crop plants and wild relatives that also represent an emerging
system for the study of gene and genome evolution. Its small stature, rapid seed-to-seed cycle, transformability and miniscule
basic genome make strawberry an attractive system to study processes related to plant physiology, development and crop production;
yet it lacks substantial genomics-level resources. This report addresses this deficiency by characterizing 0.71 Mbp of gene
space from a diploid species (F. vesca). The twenty large genomic tracks (30-52 kb) captured as fosmid inserts comprise gene regions with roles in flowering, disease
resistance, and metabolism. |
