Sweet Cherry Genomics and Epigenetics Project
WHAT WE DO
A research initiative for genome and molecular biology studies on sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.).
OUR RESEARCH

WEB TOOLS
Genome browser and other biotech tools developed by this project.
THE TEAM
Researchers involved in this work.
Grapevine gene editing using geminivirus-derived vectors
Our first experiments for gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 in the species began in 2014. Six years later we have published our first results and conclusions. More here
Massive propagation systems
Formulated as a spin-off experience, we developed Temporary Immersion Systems to massively clone sweet cherry varieties and rootstocks.

We are cover image of the Tree Physiology Journal-Dec'17 issue
In Rothkegel et al. (Dec's issue, 1739-1751) we showed that during cold accumulation, siRNAs and DNA methylation participate in the regulation of MADS-box genes involved in dormancy. More here
