Development of Genome-Wide Functional Markers Using Draft Genome Assembly of Guava ( L.) cv. Allahabad Safeda to Expedite Molecular Breeding.

Guava ( L.), a rich source of nutrients, is an important tropical and subtropical fruit of the Myrtaceae family and exhibits magnificent diversity. Genetic diversity analysis is the first step toward the identification of parents for hybridization, genetic mapping, and molecular breeding in any crop species.

RNA-sequencing based gene expression landscape of guava cv. Allahabad Safeda and comparative analysis to colored cultivars.

Background: Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is an important fruit crop of tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Genomics resources in guava are scanty.
