Post Doctoral Position at Clemson University

by Ksenija Gasic

The Peach Team in the Department of Plant and Environmental Science, at Clemson University, seeks to employ a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to conduct research to unravel the genetic basis of Armillaria Root Rot (ARR) resistance/tolerance/susceptibility in Prunus species. This position will be dynamically integrated among an interdisciplinary research team as part of newly funded USDA-Specialty Crop Research Initiative program entitled "Solutions to the Armillaria root rot threat affecting the U.S. stone fruit industry". The long-term goal of the project is to improve the profitability and sustainability of the U.S. stone fruit and nut industries through the development of Armillaria Root Rot - resistant and horticulturally acceptable rootstocks. The outcomes of this proposal will provide the 'building blocks' needed to enable and accelerate on-going Prunus breeding programs, as well as support the testing of cultural practices as short-term solutions to increase tree longevity on replant sites. A combination of novel horticultural approaches with immediate implementation will be combined with genomics, genetic diversity, metabolomics and functional genomics approaches to discover natural (local and exotic) sources of ARR resistance and translate it directly into DNA and biochemical diagnostic tools that will lead to novel rootstocks for long-term sustainability of the peach, cherry, and almond industries. This position is located at the Clemson University main campus and will focus on identifying, characterizing, and utilizing sources of durable genetic resistance to Armillaria/Desarmillaria to enable breeding solutions for ARR resistance/tolerance; monitoring effects of short- and long-term system approaches to manage ARR; and participate in outreach activities to facilitate the adoption of results. The application period is open until suitable candidate is found. Review and selection of applicants will start after October 16th. The announcement can be viewed using the following link: https://apply.interfolio.com/78924 We seek applicants who have a strong background in horticulture, plant molecular genetics, genomics, and functional genomics. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability and willingness to work in both field and in the molecular lab in a collaborative research environment are essential. Applications must be submitted electronically and include a resume that includes educational background, publications, and work experience (Ph.D. thesis and beyond), as well as a brief statement of research interests and goals. Please also provide contact information for at least three references. This position requires a doctoral (Ph.D.) degree in the field of horticulture, plant sciences, genetics, plant breeding or related disciplines. This is a fixed-term appointment funded on yearly basis until the end of the project (August 2024) from date of hire.

Development of apple 50K Axiom array

by Peil, Andreas

Dear colleagues/apple community, The Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture in Germany asked the Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), Institute for Breeding Research on Fruit Crops (ZO) to develop a 50K SNP array for the genotyping of the apple germplasm collected in the Deutsche Genbank Obst (German Fruit Gene Bank). A future purpose of the genotypic data will be GWAS. The array will be available to the public. I would therefore like to ask again for your support in the development of a new apple 50k Axiom SNP array, which is in progress with few international partners (Michela Troggio, Helene Muranty, Charles-Eric Durel, Eric van de Weg, Luca Bianco and Nicholas Howard). The new array shall deliver a good and evenly coverage of the apple genome and comparability to both the 20K Illumina SNP array and the 480K Axiom SNP array. The new reference genome HFTH1 will be used to fill in the gaps existing in GDDH13 with SNPs. Therefore, a discovery panel was defined for realignment to HFTH1 by Eric, Nick and Luca. Cultivars were chosen from different clusters gained from principle component analysis done by Nick to ensure high diversity. Eric, Nick and Luca also selected a set of Malus wild species accessions of M. baccata, M. orientalis, M. sieversii, M. sylvestris and M. ×robusta, for realignment to HFTH1 to possibly identify introgressions from these wild species in domesticated apple. WUR in Wageningen has offered capacity for realignment and is in progress. The Axiom array will have space for 46K SNPs in a 6 × 6 µM matrix. The size of the sequences on the array will be 35 nts. We decided to work with haplo blocks. A haplo block will span 125K and will be represented by 8 SNPs with additional blocks for chromosome ends. With an estimated size of 651 Mb of the apple genome, this would require around 41,800 SNPs. The remaining 4,200 SNPS will be contributed towards Malus wild species specific SNPs, for SNPs related to traits (e.g. resistance, quality, self-incompatibility) and possibly to maternal inherited SNPs. We suggest one species specific SNP / Mb. If we calculate 650 Mb for the apple genome this would require a total of 3,250 SNPs that will be needed for wild species. We have 950 SNPs left for trait related and maternal inherited SNPs. I would like to invite you to support and participate in the development of the array by contributing sequences of reliable SNPs linked to traits of interest and/or SNPs inherited maternal and/or your experience. The deadline for contributing SNP sequences is July 1st 2020. If you are willing to promote this project in another way, please contact me as soon as possible.

Development of a new apple 50K SNP Axiom array

by Peil, Andreas

Dear colleagues, the Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), Institute for Breeding Research on Fruit Cops (ZO) in Dresden-Pillnitz (Germany) is currently developing a 50 k Axiom® SNP array for apple. JKI is the Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants in Germany and belongs to the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. In agreement with the ministry, ZO is responsible for coordinating the activities on preservation of fruit genetic resources. Genotyping as a tool to improve the preservation efficiency (e.g. identification of duplicates, synonyms, homonyms) is therefore one of our tasks. Based on a multi-year discussion with the ministry and the advisory board of our national genebank network we got the order to develop an optimized SNP array useful for genotyping of the German apple collection (DGO) and other applications like GWAS. Making this array useful for the whole apple community is of high priority for us. Therefore, we initiated a discussion with international partners and ThermoFisher (array producer) and TraitGenetics (genotyping service provider) to support the development. Based on this discussion the new array should fulfill the following demands: § Results should be (at least to high content) comparable to results obtained with the Illumina 20k SNP array1 and the 480k Axiom® array2. § New reliable SNPs linked to specific traits or SNPs should be added to improve the evenly coverage of SNPs on all LGs and to fill existing gaps. The distribution of SNPs will be determined on both the GDDH133 genome sequence as well as the HFTH14 genome sequence. § If possible, SNPs markers specific for e.g. Malus sieversii and M. sylvestris should be added to allow the identification of wild species introgressions. JKI would be happy if you would agree to provide data/SNPs that could be useful for the new array. The array should be produced until the end of 2020 and later on commercially available for the whole apple community via ThermoFisher. JKI would appreciate your support and input very much. Do not hesitate to ask for more information.

International Strawberry Genomics meeting at PAG (Monday, January 13th at 1 PM)

by Sook Jung

Hi All, An 'International Strawberry Genomics' meeting (which is open to everyone) will be held on Monday, January 13th at 1pm in the Balboa Room at Handlery Hotel (950 Hotel Circle North, San Diego). The goal of this meeting is to discuss ongoing efforts in strawberry genomics, establish new collaborations, and make any other announcements to the community. Unfortunately the primary venue Town & Country hotel is undergoing extensive renovation, and so quite a few events have been moved to the nearby Handlery Hotel complex. A regular shuttle bus service will be provided or is roughly a 300 yard walk from the conference center. Please also note that we have this room on condition that “outside food & beverages are not permitted – failure to comply will result in a penalty fine".
