Anthocyanins are a valuable source of antioxidants in the human diet and contribute to fruit coloration. In red-skinned pears, anthocyanin biosynthesis can be induced by light, which MYB-bHLH-WDR complex plays critically important role transcriptional regulation. However, knowledge WRKY-mediated regulation light-induced is scarce red pears. This work identified functionally characterized light-inducing WRKY transcription factor, PpWRKY44, pear. Functional analysis based on overexpressed pear...
Abstract Malate impacts fruit acidity and plays a vital role in stress tolerance. accumulation is induced by salinity various plants as metabolite coping with this stress. However, the exact molecular mechanism responsible for salinity-induced malate remains unclear. Here, we determined that treatment induces pear (Pyrus spp.) fruit, calli, plantlets compared to control. Genetic biochemical analyses established key roles of PpWRKY44 ABRE-BINDING FACTOR3 (PpABF3) transcription factors...
Abstract Bud dormancy is an important physiological process during winter. Its release requires a certain period of chilling. In pear (Pyrus pyrifolia), the abscisic acid (ABA)-induced expression DORMANCY-ASSOCIATED MADS-box (DAM) genes represses bud break, whereas exogenous gibberellin (GA) promotes release. However, with exception ABA and GA, regulatory effects phytohormones on remain largely uncharacterized. this study, we confirmed brassinosteroids (BRs) jasmonic (JA) contribute to If...
Color and acidity, two important fruit quality traits, greatly influence consumer choice market competitiveness. They result from the accumulation of anthocyanins organic acids in vacuole. A shift vacuolar pH, caused by acids, leads to a change absorption spectrum anthocyanins, thus changes color tissues, suggesting possible relationship between these traits. Thus, discovery molecular co-mechanism responsible for processes is one most challenging improving traits ultimately increasing value....
Ethylene is an essential indicator of fruit ripening and climacteric or non-climacteric nature. This study investigated the postharvest behavior five Chinese bayberry cultivars ‘Biqi’, ‘Dongkui’, ‘Fenhong’, ‘Xiazhihong’, ‘Shuijing’. The fruits were harvested mature stored at room temperature (25 °C) under cold storage conditions (4 to investigate dynamics ethylene production, firmness, anthocyanin content, cell wall polysaccharide composition, as well basic physicochemical characteristics....
The present study was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2014 and 2015 on five years old Wonderfulpomegranate cultivar (Punica granatum, L) in order to investigate effect fruit bagging, spraying with lime milk,super nano, CaCO3, vitamin C kaolin, as well as, nitrogen potassium fertilization quality especiallythe incidence sunburn. obtained results showed that all treatments significantly affected sunburn percentageand number sunburned fruits, especially super nano kaolin...
<title>Abstract</title> Ethylene is an essential indicator of fruit ripening and quality; thus, this study investigated the postharvest behavior five Chinese bayberry cultivars according to their climacteric or non-climacteric nature. These represented four different fruit-color groups, including ‘Biqi’, ‘Dongkui’, ‘Fenhong’, ‘Xiazhihong’, ‘Shuijing’. The fruits have been harvested stored at both room temperature (25°C) cold storage conditions (4°C) investigate dynamics ethylene production,...
