Article Synopsis
- * A study evaluated 7890 apple trees from the German Fruit Genebank through both expert pomological assessments and molecular profiling using 17 SSR markers, resulting in a dataset of 1404 unique genetic profiles, with 74% confirmed as true-to-type.
- * The analysis of genetic diversity revealed a high expected heterozygosity (0.84) and indicated no significant decline in diversity over time, despite changes observed between older and newer cultivars; parentage analysis also validated many historical relationships while contradicting some literature.

Fresh berries are a popular and important component of the human diet. The demand for high-quality berries and sustainable production methods is increasing globally, challenging breeders to develop modern berry cultivars that fulfill all desired characteristics. Since 1994, research projects have characterized genetic resources, developed modern tools for high-throughput screening, and published data in publicly available repositories.
