Abstract Plant quality trait improvement has become a global necessity due to the world overpopulation. In particular, producing crop species with enhanced nutrients and health-promoting compounds is one of main aims current breeding programs. However, breeders traditionally focused on characteristics such as yield or pest resistance, while for quality, which largely depends presence accumulation highly valuable metabolites in plant edible parts, was left out complexity metabolome...
This work aims to determine the effect of genotype x environment (GxE) interaction that influence blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) fruit quality. We applied metabolomics-driven analysis on fruits from four cultivars grown in contrasting European-locations over two seasons. By integrating metabolomics and sensory analysis, we also defined specific metabolic signatures associated with consumer acceptance. Our results showed rainfall is a crucial factor accumulation delphinidin-...
Promoting the consumption of fruits is a key objective nutrition policy campaigns due to their associated health benefits. Raspberries are well appreciated for remarkable flavor and nutritional value attributable antioxidant properties. Consequently, one objectives present-day raspberry breeding programs improve fruit’s sensory nutritive characteristics. However, developing new genotypes with enhanced quality traits complex task intricate impacts genetic environmental factors have on these...
