“…In general, uplift of the basin margins during the Cenozoic produced a regional intermontane synclinorium that accumulated mainly fl uvial and lacustrine sediment (Zhou et al, 2006;Yin et al, 2008;Craddock et al, 2011;Zhuang et al, 2011b). A regional unconformity below Paleocene-Eocene strata implies that Cenozoic deposition initiated at 65-49 Ma due to uplift along the northern side of the basin (Yin et al, 2008;Zhuang et al, 2011b). Uplift of the Qilian Shan and Kunlun ranges occurred during the Paleocene and late Oligocene, respectively (Yin et al, 2008).…”

“…The Cenozoic tectonic history of the Qaidam Basin is complicated and controversial (Song and Wang, 1993;Chen et al, 1999;Zhou et al, 2006;Yin et al, 2008;Zhuang et al, 2011b). In general, uplift of the basin margins during the Cenozoic produced a regional intermontane synclinorium that accumulated mainly fl uvial and lacustrine sediment (Zhou et al, 2006;Yin et al, 2008;Craddock et al, 2011;Zhuang et al, 2011b).…”

“…1; Halimov and Fezer, 1989;Goudie, 2007;Rubin and Hesp, 2009;Kapp et al, 2011). Since at least the Eocene, however, most of the Qaidam Basin has continuously accumulated sediments, and late Paleozoic and Mesozoic sediments were locally deposited prior to the Cenozoic (e.g., Wang and Coward, 1990;Xia et al, 2001;Rieser et al, 2005;Zhuang et al, 2011b). Cenozoic strata are locally >5000 m thick and span from the early Eocene to present (Table S1 in GSA Data Repository 1 ).…”

“…Both tectonic uplift and climate change can infl uence sedimentation patterns, and thus any causal interpretation of stratigraphy must account for both tectonic and climatic infl uences. Strata preserved within the Qaidam and other nearby basins in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau record tectonic and climatic changes since at least Paleocene time (Pares et al, 2003;Fang et al, 2003Fang et al, , 2007Horton et al, 2004;Zhou et al, 2006;Yin et al, 2008;Craddock et al, 2011;Zhuang et al, 2011b;H.-P. Zhang et al, 2012). Differentiating the tectonic versus climatic controls on sedimentation at any of these localities, however, is complicated by the competing infl uences of both tectonics and climate on sedimentation.…”

IntroductionThe cultivated apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) is one of the most economically important temperate fruit crops, with 76.3 × 10 6 t produced on approximately 4.8 × 10 6 ha in 2012. Turkey is the fourth largest apple-producing country in the world with a production of 2.89 × 10 6 t in 2012 (http://faostat.fao.org/). Although apple is functionally diploid (2n = 2x = 34), the Maloideae are believed to be of allopolyploid origin (Chevreau et al., 1985).Although apples are grown in many regions of Turkey, approximately 60% of commercial apple production occurs in 5 provinces: Isparta, Karaman, Niğde, Denizli, and Antalya. These provinces are located in the southern part of Central Anatolia and in the northern Mediterranean region. Apples are also commercially grown in the provinces of Kayseri, Çanakkale, Mersin, Konya, and Bursa (http://www.turkstat.gov.tr/).Most apple cultivars in Turkish commercial orchards are exotic, with local cultivars having very limited production because of their low yields. Nevertheless, local cultivars have various characteristics that make them attractive for breeding purposes. One such example is Amasya, which has a pleasing taste and flavor and other superior fruit quality characteristics. Although fruit size and alternate-bearing characteristics of Amasya limit its commercialization, this cultivar is a very good genetic resource for breeding and genetic studies.Genetic improvement of apple by marker-assisted selection requires development of transferable molecular markers, construction of genetic maps, and association of molecular markers with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and major genes of economic and horticultural importance (Wang et al., 2012). Linkage maps are usually constructed using dominant markers, such as random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), amplified fragment length polymorphism, and codominant simple sequence repeat (SSR, or microsatellite) markers. Because of their reproducibility, transferability, and multiallelic nature,

Paleomagnetism of Eocene and Miocene sediments from the Qaidam basin: Implication for no integral rotation since the Eocene and a rigid Qaidam block

The Qaidam basin is the largest topographic depression inside the Tibetan Plateau and it is a key factor to understanding the Cenozoic evolution of the northern Tibetan Plateau. Paleomagnetic data was obtained from the middle to late Eocene Xiaganchaigou Formation and the early to middle Miocene Xiayoushashan Formation from seven localities. The paleomagnetic results indicate that the Qaidam basin has not undergone obvious basin-scale vertical axis rotation with respect to the Eurasia Plate since the Eocene. Local clockwise rotation took place only at a few special locations along the northern margin of the Qaidam basin. The uniform paleomagnetic results at different localities support that the Qaidam basin is a relatively rigid block. Regional paleomagnetic and geodetic observations also suggest that crust south of the Kunlun fault moves eastward faster than crust north of the Kunlun fault.
