Genetic dissection of aroma biosynthesis in melon and its relationship with climacteric ripening
(Elsevier, 2021-03-05)
Aroma is an essential trait in melon fruit quality, but its complexity and genetic basis are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) ...
A qPCR-based method for the detection and quantification of the peach powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) in epidemiological studies
(Springer, 2020-10-17)
A qPCR-based method was developed to detect and quantify Podosphaera pannosa, the main causal agent of peach powdery mildew. A primer pair was designed to target part of the ITS region of the fungal ...
Metabolomic analyses of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cultivars revealed mechanisms of resistance to aluminum toxicity
(Elsevier, 2020-12-02)
Aluminum (Al) is an important factor that limits plant growth under acidic soil conditions. However, several
plant species developed distinct mechanisms that limit the damage caused by high Al ...
The haplotype-resolved T2T reference genome highlights structural variation underlying agronomic traits of melon
(Oxford University Press, 2023-09-04)
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop that has an extensive history of cultivation. However, the genome of wild and semi-wild melon types that can be used for the analysis of agronomic ...
Survey of over 4, 500 monumental olive trees preserved on-farm in the northeast Iberian Peninsula, their genotyping and characterization
(Elsevier, 2017-12-29)
Inventorying, characterising and conserving on-farm ancient olive trees is a priority for safeguarding their genetic, natural and agricultural value and for protecting ancient genotypes threatened with ...
Selection of Pru p 3 hypoallergenic peach and nectarine varieties
(Wiley, 2019-11-11)
Peach is an important fruit consumed worldwide. However, it is also one of the most frequently reported allergenic fruits. Component diagnosis of peach allergy indicates Pru p 1, Pru p 2, Pru p 3, Pru ...
Light signals generated by vegetation shade facilitate acclimation to low light in shade-avoider plants
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-05-07)
When growing in search for light, plants can experience continuous or occasional shading by other plants. Plant proximity causes a decrease in the ratio of R to far-red light (low R:FR) due to the ...
Biochemical and genetic implications of the slow ripening phenotype in peach fruit
(Elsevier, 2019-09-14)
The peach [Prunus persica L. (Batsch)] slow ripening (SR) trait is a mutation preventing the normal fruit ripening process. It is determined by a single Mendelian gene (Sr/sr) located on linkage group ...
Genome encode analyses reveal the basis of convergent evolution of fleshy fruit ripening
(Nature Research, 2018-09-24)
Fleshy fruits using ethylene to regulate ripening have developed multiple times in the history of angiosperms, presenting a clear case of convergent evolution whose molecular basis remains largely ...
Inheritance and QTL analysis of chilling and heat requirements for flowering in an interspecific almond x peach (Texas x Earlygold) F2 population
(Euphytica, 2020-03-04)
Blooming in temperate fruit species is triggered by chilling and heat requirements (CR and HR), with a wide range of requirements within the same species. CR for flower bud dormancy release has become ...
