MSU researchers successfully sequence Michigan tart cherry genome

MSU agriculture researchers successfully sequenced the tart cherry genome to find which genes assist with late blooming. The resulting genome sequence was "beautifully complex" and can make the breeding of related species more efficient.

MSU researchers uncover the hidden complexity

Since Michigan is the nation's leading producer of tart cherries, Michigan State University researchers were searching for the genes associated with tart cherry trees that bloom later in the season to meet the needs of a changing climate. They started by comparing DNA sequences from late-blooming tart cherry trees to the sequenced genome of a related species, the peach. However, in a surprise to the researcher, the genetic discrepancies between the species outweighed the similarities. This led the team to create the first annotated Montmorency tart cherry genome and identify the DNA segments that code for each gene.
