Despite the availability of whole genome sequences of apple and peach,there has been a considerable gap between genomics and *** bridge the gap,the European Union funded the FruitBreedomics project(March 2011 to August 2015)involving 28 research institutes and private *** complementary approaches were pursued:(i)tool and software development,(ii)deciphering genetic control of main horticultural traits taking into account allelic diversity and(iii)developing plant materials,tools and methodologies for *** breakthroughs were made including the making available of ready-to-go DNA diagnostic tests for Marker Assisted Breeding,development of new,dense SNP arrays in apple and peach,new phenotypic methods for some complex traits,software for gene/QTL discovery on breeding germplasm via Pedigree Based Analysis(PBA).This resulted in the discovery of highly predictive molecular markers for traits of horticultural interest via PBA and via Genome Wide Association Studies(GWAS)on several European genebank *** also developed pre-breeding plant materials in which multiple sources of resistance were pyramided and software that can support breeders in their selection *** FruitBreedomics,significant progresses were made in the field of apple and peach breeding,genetics,genomics and bioinformatics of which advantage will be made by breeders,germplasm curators and scientists.A major part of the data collected during the project has been stored in the FruitBreedomics database and has been made available to the *** review covers the scientific discoveries made in this major endeavour,and perspective in the apple and peach breeding and genomics in Europe and beyond.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins(hn RNPs) belong to the RNA-binding proteins family. They are involved in processing heterogeneous nuclear RNAs(hn RNAs) into mature m RNAs. These proteins participate in every step of m RNA cycle, such as m RNA export, localization, translation, stability and alternative splicing. At least 14 major hn RNPs, which have structural and functional homologues in mammals, are expressed in Drosophila melanogaster. Until now, six of these hn RNPs are known to be nucleus-localized and associated with the long non-coding RNA(lnc RNA) heat shock responsive u(hsru)in the omega speckle compartments(u-speckles). The chromatin remodeler ISWI is the catalytic subunit of several ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes, and it is an essential factor for organization of u-speckles. Indeed, in ISWI null mutant, severe defects in u-speckles structure are detectable. Here, we clarify the role of ISWI in the hn RNPs-hsru interaction. Moreover, we describe how ISWI by its remodeling activity, controls hsru and hn RNPs engagement in u-speckles. Finally, we demonstrate that the sequestration of hn RNPs in u-speckles nuclear compartment is a fundamental event in gene expression control and represents a key step in the regulation of several pathways.
