“Fresh Sensation” A region in the apple genome (jewel in the genome) discovered that controls (predicts) crispness, juiciness, & tartness ‘Honeycrisp’ ‘Honeycrisp’ has a great combination for consistent fresh sensation (if stored for ≤6 months)
“Fresh Sensation” APPLICATION: Industry med fresh up to 6 mo ‘Granny Smith’ med fresh up to 6 mo low fresh up to 2 mo high fresh up to 6 mo ‘Gala’ ‘Pink Lady’ med fresh up to 6 mo ‘Honeycrisp’ low fresh up to 3 mo low fresh up to 9 mo ‘Fuji’ ‘Golden Delicious’ Describe genetic potential for achieving great fruit quality… …to develop best management practices without laborious trial and error ‘Red Delicious’

Skin Color: Rf
Rf • Alleles = MYB1 promoter variations, simple PCR • Alleles 2,3 = non-blushed • Alleles 1, 4 = blushed • Allele 5 = red-fleshed 9 0.00 Mb = Md-MYB1/MYB10 Rf 29.48 Mb can be deduced from published information 33.72 Mb
Rf • Alleles = SNP haplotypes from 8K genome scan • Allele “rf” = non-blushed • Allele “Rf” = blushed, dominant 9 0.00 Mb = Md-MYB1/MYB10 Rf 29.48 Mb 33.72 Mb

Rf – Has a Friend 9 2 Bl • Another locus, on LG2, is nicknamed the “blush” locus (Bl) because on its own it is associated with degree of blushiness vs. stripiness • But the “Bl” locus also interacts with Rfto influence apple skin blush amount (PercOvrClr) – blbl less blush than BlBl Rf blbl BlBl is more often like this is more often like this

The Ma locus • Ma locus first described 1970(J. Verhaeg) • Some populations acidity difference so great that discernible by taste: High/Low • Texture studies in late 90s (C. Maliepaard et al.) found QTLs for acidity there, also QTLs for crispness, juiciness • Sujeet Verma collectively calls these traits “fresh sensation” (crisp, juicy, tart = fresh!) 16 Sujeet Verma - current PhD studies on the Ma locus Ma
Ma haplotyping 16 • SSR dissection at WSU uncovered numerous haplotypes, some allocated to Ma, ma alleles • RosBREED SNP data allowed further refinement, first with 20 SNPs targeted there with GoldenGate assay (late 2010)... CH05c06 Ma ~16 cM Hi04e04
Ma haplotyping 16 CH05c06 Ma ~16 cM Hi04e04
Ma haplotyping 16 • Each cultivar/parent of U.S. breeding germplasm was haplotypede.g. Honeycrisp = H2H7 Braeburn = H2H4 Granny Smith = H1H2 Golden Delicious = H1H4 Red Delicious = H3H4 • Recently, FlexQTL run with various traits from standardized phenotyping efforts... CH05c06 Ma ~16 cM Hi04e04
