6. What FruitBreedomics provided so
far and will provide?
Big genotyping SNP chips:
peach IRSC=8K; apple: 20K, 420K
=> Fine mapping
=> find out markers close to the traits /Apple and peach
– Major genes
– QTLs
=> From various genetic backgrounds (PBA, GWA)
Test high throughput and cheap genotyping tools adapted to
Breeders needs
YOUR Pilot
MABLOGO studies
8. Major challenges faced by fruit
breeders on the use of MAB
Fruit Breeding companies = small size companies
=> limited access to expertise in genetics, genomics, marker technologies,...
=> Lack of lab facilities for molecular analysis, bioinformatics support,...
FruitBreedomics needs to:
- address the specific problems of each company concerning the use
of markers in their breeding programs
- preserve confidentiality on parents, breeding strategies, key
characters, etc.
FruitBreedomics planned to provide breeders with support on MAB
- Pilot study
- Training sessions
YOUR LOGO
=> A more individualized support was needed

10. What FruitBreedomics MAB Service
should be
• A service offered on a commercial basis
• Offered to FruitBreedomics stakeholder
breeding programs in Rosaceae species
• Using FruitBreedomics (and other published)
generated information
• Not a genotyping Platform
