Abstract:
... Epigenetic regulation is crucial to ensure a coordinated control of the different events that occur during fruit development and ripening. Sirtuins are NAD⁺-dependent histone deacetylases involved in the regulation of gene expression of many biological processes. However, their implications in the Rosaceae family remains unexplored. Accordingly, in this work, we demonstrated the phylogenetic diver ...

Abstract:
... The high-value apple cultivar ‘Honeycrisp’ is prone to bitter pit, a physiological disorder characterized by the development of dark, sunken lesions on fruit particularly towards the calyx-end. Identifying the genetic basis of bitter pit is critical for mitigation of the disorder and development of bitter pit-free varieties. To this end, we performed an RNA sequencing experiment to compare the pee ...

Abstract:
... Calyx-end cracking in 'Pink Lady' apple is treated by a solution of gibberellic acids 4 and 7 (GA4+7) and the cytokinin 6-benzyladenine (BA). Although the GA4+7 and BA mixture is applied early in apple fruit development, it mitigates cracking that becomes evident in the mature fruit, implying a long-term treatment effect. The reduced incidence of peel cracking is associated with increased epiderma ...

It is characterized by localized necrotic cells that collapse and form pits in the epidermis and outer cortex of fruit. The disorder has been associated with low calcium concentrations, and poor calcium distribution within the fruit. To date, the mechanism that leads to indi ...

Abstract:
... Apple is a fleshy fruit distinguished by a climacteric type of ripening, since most of the relevant physiological changes are triggered and governed by the action of ethylene. After its production, this hormone is perceived by a series of receptors to regulate, through a signaling cascade, downstream ethylene related genes. The possibility to control the effect of ethylene opened new horizons to t ...

Abstract:
... Fruit softening in apple (Malus x domestica) is associated with an increase in the ripening hormone ethylene. Here, we show that in cv Royal Gala apples that have the ethylene biosynthetic gene ACC OXIDASE1 suppressed, a cold treatment preconditions the apples to soften independently of added ethylene. When a cold treatment is followed by an ethylene treatment, a more rapid softening occurs than i ...
