Abstract:
... The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the impacts of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE) genes and programmed cell death (PCD) during ripening and senescence of apple fruit (Malus × domestica Borkh.). The ethylene antagonists 1-MCP (1 μL L⁻¹) was applied to apples after harvest. Both treated and control fruit were stored at 20 ± 2°C. The data show ...

Abstract:
... The torque required to cut branches is an important parameter for designing a robotic end-effector for pruning apple (Malus ×domestica) trees. In this study, the branch cutting torque was measured because it is important for the future development of a robotic pruning end-effector. To measure the branch cutting torque, a force-measuring sensor was integrated with a manual shear pruner. An inertial ...

Abstract:
... Anthocyanins play important roles in plant secondary metabolism. Although previous studies have identified many transcription factors (TFs) that participate in the synthetic pathway of anthocyanins, the regulation mechanism of the pathway remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a WRKY Group IIc TF, MdWRKY75, which contained a typical WRKYGQK heptapeptide sequence and a C2 H2 -zinc f ...

Abstract:
... Anthocyanin plays critical role in plant secondary metabolism. Although many transcription factors (TFs) that participate in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway have been characterized, many have yet to be reported. In the study, we cloned a WRKY Group IIc TF in apple (Malus × domestica), MdWRKY71-L, which localized to the nucleus. The overexpression of MdWRKY71-L promoted the accumulation of ant ...

Abstract:
... The study dealt with the experimental and numerical assessment of the apple cultivar Golden Delicious (Malus domestica L.) at compressive loading in lateral direction. The development of fruit hemisphere behaviour was examined between two parallel plates. Apple samples were subjected to tests at different strain rates. The experiments were conducted at eleven velocities from 10 to 350 mm·min⁻¹ for ...

Abstract:
... Flavonoids are one of the main pigments in horticultural fruit. The AP2/ERF transcription factors play various roles in higher plants, and thus, MdAP2–34 has been reported to regulate carotenoid accumulation in apple. However, it is unclear whether light interferes with the flavonoid accumulation in apple fruit flesh. Here, we found that apple of ‘Benin Shogun’ fruit flesh had higher levels of fla ...

Abstract:
... Harvesting labor is the largest annual variable operating expense for apple (Malus ×domestica) orchard enterprises and is subject to escalating costs and shortages. In Europe, much of the cider apple harvesting is done with machinery, greatly reducing production costs. However, despite a rapid increase in hard cider production in North America over the past 15 years, mechanical cider apple harvest ...

Abstract:
... Apple fruit cv. Golden Delicious symptoms of rot were collected from storage in the area of Eğirdir district of Isparta province, in Turkey. Based on morphology and phylogeny of DNA sequence data for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA region, the isolated pathogen was identified as Diplodia bulgarica. This is the first description of D. bulgarica causing postharvest fruit rot on Malus dome ...

Abstract:
... Various abiotic stresses, particularly salinization, restrict plant growth and yield around the world. Lipoxygenases play essential functions in coping with various stresses. In the present study, we found an apple (Malus domestica) homolog of Arabidopsis lipoxygenase3, named MdLOX3. MdLOX3 has a typical conserved lipoxygenase domain. MdLOX3 was expressed in all tissues of apple and was highly exp ...

Abstract:
... During the course of study appearance of insect-pests started in the month of March coinciding with pink bud stage of apple. Insects belonging to orders Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Thysanoptera, Aracnida and Cucurlionoidae were identified. The relative abundance of insects belonging to order Hemiptera was maximum (32.44 and 32.88) followed by Acarina (23.66 and 22.42%) during 2018 and 2019 ...

Abstract:
... Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) as plant-specific transcription factors exert an important role in plant growth and development; however, the function of GRFs has not been reported in apple (Malus domestica). In the present study, we identified 12 MdGRF genes, which located on six chromosomes with different densities. These MdGRFs were phylogenetically classified into four clusters based on the p ...

Abstract:
... Aluminum (Al) is an important element in soil constitution. Previous studies have shown that high concentration of Al affects the normal growth of crops, resulting in crop yield reduction and inferior quality. Nevertheless, Al has also been referred to as a beneficial element, especially when used at low concentrations, but the cytological mechanism is not clear. Influences of low concentration Al ...
... Basic WD40 proteins, which are characterized by a conserved WD40 domain, comprise a superfamily of regulatory proteins in plants and play important roles in plant growth and development. However, WD40 genes have been rarely studied in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). In this study, 346 WD40 genes classified in 12 subfamilies, were identified in the apple genome. Evolutionary analysis of WD40 prot ...

Abstract:
... Apple (Malus × domestica) is one of the most important fruit crops grown commercially in temperate regions. The present study was conducted to gain knowledge on genetic variability pertaining to flowering, maturity and some morphological characters. Earliest initial and full bloom was observed in Benoni whereas ASP-69 was the last to bloom. Irish peach was found to mature earliest (88 DAFB) while ...
... Growers need reliable information on costs and returns they can expect for a cider apple (Malus ×domestica) orchard suitable for mechanization because specialty cider apples can only be used for making cider, and returns are expected to be lower than for fresh table apples. This study estimates the costs, returns, and net profit that growers may realize by planting cider apples in either a freesta ...

Abstract:
... The growth and production of fruit trees are adversely affected by heavy metal pollution in orchard lands. Plant metal homeostasis and resistance are regulated by metal tolerance proteins (MTP), which function as divalent cation transporters. To understand the possible role of MTPs in fruit trees, we identified 20 MdMTPs in the apple genome. Phylogenetic and collinear relationship analyses reveale ...
