Description
Monique Salardi-Jost and co-authors sequence a world collection of European hazelnut in a 2025 study. The crop is valuable but little studied, and trade relies on a small set of varieties grown worldwide. Breeding gains need a clear map of genetic variety and of how genes link to valued nut traits.
More than three hundred varieties were sequenced, and after quality checks 282 samples and a large set of gene variants were kept. Three genetic clusters and five ancestral groups emerged, with Eurasian varieties most distinct. Four zones under selection were found, plus gene links to nut size and shape from a measured subset. The work guides future breeding.
