Pedigree information shared in apple allergens transcriptional activity

Abstract

Apples are popular fruit worldwide thanks to their many tastes and a nutritional value. On the other side, they share the allergenic epitopes of Mal d 1 allergen that is relevant in food allegies. Sharing the genetic information of the origin accelerated the crossbreeding of world-class genotype in terms of the genetic resource of different apple species such as McIntosh, Jonathan, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith or Cox?s Orange Pippin. Among different characteristics, identification of genotypes with risk and perspective allergen potential should be focused on, in order to avoid apple disqualification in increasing food allergy. Here, based on own Mal d 1 gene expression analysis, 75 from 98 analysed varieties were directly linked to the common pedigree by 10 selected founding apple varieties - Golden Delicious, Jonathan, Clivia, Prima, Lord Lambourne, Rub?n, Vanda, Cox?s Orange Pippin, Championa and Topas. In selected founding apple varieties we focus on genotypes from 2nd intergeneration (1870-95) to 5th intergeneration (2005-15). Expression data for of Mal d 1 recognized correlation between isoforms Mal d 1.02, Mal d 1.08 and selected founding apple varieties.
