Rosaceae is an immensely important plant family that includes several high-value fruit and ornamental crop species. Recent investment in genome sequencing in a handful of Rosaceae species including apple, strawberry, peach, plum, and raspberry, provides an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying the diversity of fleshy fruits, as well as the evolution of these mechanisms in this family.
