- In the last decade, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, numerous molecular markers have become available for genetic studies in sweet and sour cherries. Thanks to these tools, saturated linkage maps have been built in several countries allowing the detection of numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Hence, marker-assisted selection (MAS) has now become a reality for these crops. Given that sweet cherry is a species with a long period of juvenility and that large areas are needed to evaluate thousands of new hybrids, MAS will allow breeders to make decisions efficiently based on DNA information, such as which par
