Additionally, population genetic analyses revealed substantial gene flow between plum and apricot, with introgression regions linked to post-embryonic development and pollen germination.

Unraveling the genetic underpinnings of stone fruits, a pivotal study explores the genomic landscape of apricot, peach, plum, and mei. It uncovers the signatures of selection pressures driving ...

Almost half of the plum-like fruits grown in California now are interspecifics — Pluots and the like. There’s no genetic engineering involved in these hybrids; in fact, it’s been done for years.

The 'Bella Gold' peacotum is a cross of peach, apricot and plum. While the fruit's season is winding down, come fall, the trees will be available for home orchards.

Then plum-tree breeders solved both problems by crossing American plums with Japanese types, creating delicious, beautiful fruit on rough and rugged trees. For the past 150 years, gardeners have ...
