The brochure is signed by José Manuel Donoso, researcher at INIA Rayentué. "The sweet cherry is one of the most popular fruit trees in the world, however, genetic improvement has been slow due to the large size of the tree and the long unproductive period."

11 and 12 candidate genes related to fruit size and cracking-related traits, respectively, were identified. The researchers also identified several candidate genes involved in phytohormone, calcium and cell wall metabolisms.
