This document outlines the objectives and tasks for Work Package 5 which aims to develop tools to analyze novel traits in apple and peach through 'omics approaches and phenotyping methods. The work package will select cultivars to study trait variation, develop high throughput quantification protocols, and standardize methods for research and industry use. Specific tasks include identifying factors related to disease resistance in peach, assessing fruit quality traits in apple and peach, and testing for climate change adaptation traits like chilling requirement. The work is expected to provide standardized phenotyping tools and increase knowledge of genetics underlying complex traits.
