Using RNA-Seq to assemble a rose transcriptome with more than 13,000 full-length expressed genes and to develop the WagRhSNP 68k Axiom SNP array for rose (Rosa L.).

TL;DR: This work sets out to mine ESTs from diverse sets of rose germplasm to develop a versatile and large SNP array for rose, and adds considerably to the currently available sequence resources for the Rosaceae family in general and the genus Rosa in particular.
Multi-environment QTL analysis of plant and flower morphological traits in tetraploid rose.

TL;DR: This work applies recently developed methods for quantitative trait loci detection in a segregating tetraploid rose population to unravel the genetic control of a number of key morphological traits, while helping to advance the methods for marker–trait exploration in polyploid species.

TL;DR: Preliminary results show that the most effective method to quantify colour is by HPLC analysis of the extracted anthocyanins, and the highest pelargonidin concentrations occur at relatively low cyanidIn concentrations.

Carole F. S. Koning-Boucoiran,Virginia W. Gitonga,Zhe Yan,Zhe Yan,Oene Dolstra,C.G. van der Linden,J.R. van der Schoot,G. E. Uenk,K. Verlinden,Marinus J. M. Smulders,Frans A. Krens,Chris Maliepaard +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the segregation patterns of molecular markers in a tetraploid mapping population of 184 genotypes, an F1 progeny from a cross of two heterozygous parents, were investigated for disomic and tetrasomic inheritance.
Genetic variation, heritability and genotype by environment interaction of morphological traits in a tetraploid rose population
Virginia W. Gitonga,Carole F. S. Koning-Boucoiran,Kathryn Verlinden,Kathryn Verlinden,Oene Dolstra,Richard G. F. Visser,Chris Maliepaard,Frans A. Krens +7 more
TL;DR: Investigating the genetic variation and heritability of specific morphological traits in a tetraploid population grown in the Netherlands and in Kenya and the implications of genotype by environment interaction (G × E) for rose breeding showed that there are different magnitudes of non-crossover G’×’E interactions.
