Avocado Transcriptomic Resources
2020
Avocado (Persea americana Mill) is a high-value, nutrient-dense, subtropical fruit-tree crop experiencing increasing demand globally. At present, the industry is limited by factors including variation in flowering, fruit load and susceptibility to abiotic and biotic stresses. Many of these limitations could be improved with targeted breeding strategies, facilitated through the rapid advancement in genome and transcriptome sequencing and assembly technologies. This chapter outlines the research to date on avocado transcriptomics, with a focus on genetic factors controlling traits of agronomic importance, with potential to inform future breeding and improvement strategies.
