The document discusses selection for sub-acid taste and flat shape in peaches. It identifies single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with these traits: sub-acid taste is associated with one SNP; flat shape is associated with a haplotype of three highly linked SNPs. The SNPs could be used for marker-assisted breeding to more efficiently select for sub-acid taste and flat fruit shape, which are desirable traits for consumers.

Traits
Sub-acid taste(D)
In general, the consumer acceptance is greater for sub-acid than
for acid cultivars
Sub-acid trait is especially important in early varieties: have
little time on the tree in between bloom and harvest time, that
they dont have the ability to build up sugars. Sub-acid
compensate this lack of sugars
Sub-acid cultivars do not cover all the production season
