Image: Apple Genome LTR Red Phenotype

Description: a. Molecular structure of MdMYB1-1 and MdMYB1-2 alleles with flanking sequences. The insertion sites upstream of MdMYB1-1 and MdMYB1-2 are indicated by a red line (HFTH1) and golden yellow line (GDDH13), respectively. b. Images of 12 well-known apple varieties with non-red or red skin colour (upper panel) and PCR-based screen showing the absence (right) or presence (left) of the LTR retrotransposon insertion in the upstream of MdMYB1. A 750 bp fragment corresponding to the partial of redTE that is absent in non-red-skinned varieties (lanes 1 to 6) and is present only in red-skinned varieties (lanes 7 to 12). Lane 13, control check (purified water was used as the template), Lane 14, positive control.
