Firmness is one of the most important fruit quality traits in strawberries. The postharvest shelf life this soft highly limited by loss firmness, where cell wall disassembly plays an role. Previous studies demonstrated that polygalacturonase FaPG1 has a key role remodelling pectins during strawberry softening. In study, knockout plants have been generated using CRISPR/Cas9 system delivered via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Ten independent lines, cv. "Chandler", were obtained, and all them...
Plant health is a major target in breeding programs because crops are under constant biotic stress, and climate change exacerbating pests diseases that have negative impacts on agriculture. Obtaining crop varieties armed with better defences potential strategy to reduce losses from attacks. cell walls perform crucial roles many physiological processes, play defensive as protecting barriers, well source of integrity signalling molecules. In this work, FaPG1 mutant line an...
