Abstract

The recent growing interest in minor species (i.e., fig, pomegranate, feijoa, etc.) has recently driven new research on breeding and genetics to address producer and consumer traits. Since these species have received little attention from the scientific community, they were less improved via conventional breeding, and lacked detailed genomic information on important traits. This lack of data, together with a general poor genetic knowledge of these species, has limited a wider cultivation of varieties with improved characteristics.
