and development of fruiting trees, natural resistance genes to both 
abiotic and biotic stresses, genes that influence the progression of 
disease in the trees (e.g. peach tree short life), and genes 
controlling quality and yield of fruits. This research provides the 
pipeline for future fruit tree improvement and sustainability. Clemson
