Evolution of fruit size during speciation and domestication in apple. a Domestication sweeps underlying apple fruit size QTLs. Within the physical intervals (orange boxes) of the two fruit weight QTLs fw1 and fw2, distributions of XP-CLR scores are shown. Selective sweeps are marked with red bars and interesting genes are labeled above peaks. b MiRNA172g/miRNA172h and the two target genes that contain highly divergent SNPs (pointed by arrows) between M. domestica with large fruits and other wild species bearing very small fruits. c Schematic diagram of the two-step evolution of apple fruit size. BG beta-galactosidase, FBP fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FD ferredoxin, PPD pyruvate phosphate dikinase, P4 patellin-4, UGE UDP-glucose 4-epimerase
