Abstract
Apples ranking fourth in importance after citrus, bananas and grapes, have a prolonged juvenile period which makes their improvement a challenging process.
Genetic engineering would be the method of choice to shorten breeding.
To attain the basic information needed and to illuminate the molecular biology of flowering and floral development in apple, the candidate genes from model plants were looked for in apple EST databases.
About 40 genes and singletons were identified and designated as putative flowering genes in apple.
Most of the genes with a possible role in Arabidopsis flowering had a counterpart in apple with some exceptions.
There were no homologs for the genes FLC, WUS, LUC, FRI, SPY and WLC. In contrast, for SOC1 gene of Arabidopsis, there appeared to be two homologs in apple.
Some of the identified genes have already been isolated and the others are yet to be cloned and characterized.
Further investigations are underway to analyze their function in apple flowering.
