Sweet cherry fruit size

Table of functional genotypes

Trait:      Sweet cherry fruit size – weight, dimensions, mesocarp cell number
Locus:    Quantitative trait locus about a third of the way down the linkage group of sweet cherry chromosome 2 (Zhang et al. 2009),
              equivalent to the middle of the TxE Prunus reference map and peach chromosome 2.
Markers: Two QTL-flanking SSRs, CPSCT038 and BPPCT034, which are 10-20 cM apart (Olmstead et al. 2008).
