Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is a tool for diagnosis and prediction using biomarker-based risk assessment for chilling-related disorders of Rosaceous fruit crops including apple and pear. Provided are methodology and genes whose relative and absolute expression can accurately indicate disorder risk throughout the production and supply chain of these crops. This technology describes a necessary and novel management tool for stakeholders producing, servicing, or retailing these crops.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method comprising: a) isolating mRNA from peel tissue or cortex tissue of at least one apple or at least one pear; b) performing reverse transcription PCR on said isolated mRNA; and c) assaying the level of expression of a set of biomarkers, wherein the set of biomarkers consists of: MDP0000848515, MDP0000238780, MDP0000260007, MDP0000153149, MDP0000585315, MDP0000273646, MDP0000216786, MDP0000180580, MDP0000737425, MDP0000298967, MDP0000808492, MDP0000273866, MDP0000353053, MDP0000910032, MDP0000145050, MDP0000263844, MDP0000158999, MDP0000547254, MDP0000196325, MDP0000224653, MDP0000321382, MDP0000270602, MDP0000233661, MDP0000665342, MDP0000246831, MDP0000823528, MDP0000408705, MDP0000518327, MDP0000291249, MDP0000154589, MDP0000202817, MDP0000590954, MDP0000312397, MDP0000213383, MDP0000529726, MDP0000312071, MDP0000639894, MDP0000307665, MDP0000183676, MDP0000754521, MDP0000797616, MDP0000818877, MDP0000782908, MDP0000266443, MDP0000562305, MDP0000228366, MDP0000361351, MDP0000737001, MDP0000412192, MDP0000223032, MDP0000149492, MDP0000264361, MDP0000125882, MDP0000498460, MDP0000163006, MDP0000225132, MDP0000329063, MDP0000170865, MDP0000665685, MDP0000196079, MDP0000200783, MDP0000182956, MDP0000862371, MDP0000321792, MDP0000441757, MDP0000313657, MDP0000599531, MDP0000297583, MDP0000272980, MDP0000317502, MDP0000268175, MDP0000722139, MDP0000637194, MDP0000125700, MDP0000287262, MDP0000745534, MDP0000164966, MDP0000389794, MDP0000318068, MDP0000322237, MDP0000225326, and MDP0000125411.
