Note: aThe cherry and peach genome sequences used were from Shirasawa et al.42 and Verde et al.39, respectively. bNot available (NA) as no sequence match was found in the peach genome sequence. cThe description is the Blast2GO ontology term. dThe tomato annotation was included in italic when it differed from the cherry and/or peach annotation(s) and suggested a potential involvement with fruit firmness.
