Most published genome sequences are drafts, and most dominated by computational gene prediction. Draft genomes typically incorporate considerable sequence data that not assigned to chromosomes, predicted genes without quality confidence measures. The current Actinidia chinensis (kiwifruit) 'Hongyang' draft has 164 Mb of unassigned pseudo-chromosomes, omissions have been identified in the models.A second an A. (genotype Red5) was fully sequenced. This new resulted a 554.0 assembly with all...
Carboxylesterases (CXEs) are widely distributed in plants, where they have been implicated roles that include plant defense, development, and secondary metabolism. We cloned, overexpressed, purified, crystallized a carboxylesterase from the kiwifruit species Actinidia eriantha (AeCXE1). The structure of AeCXE1 was determined by X-ray crystallography at 1.4 Å resolution. crystal revealed is member α/β-hydrolase fold superfamily, most closely related structurally to hormone-sensitive lipase...
Abstract Volatile esters are key compounds contributing to flavor intensity in commonly consumed fruits including apple (Malus domestica), strawberry (Fragaria spp.), and banana (Musa sapientum). In kiwifruit (Actinidia ethyl butanoate other have been proposed contribute fruity, sweet notes commercial cultivars. Here, we investigated the genetic basis for ester production Actinidia an A. chinensis mapping population (AcMPO). A major quantitative trait loci of multiple was identified at...
