The phytohormone ethylene plays an important role in promoting the softening of climacteric fruits, such as apples (Malus domestica); however, aspects underlying regulatory mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we identified apple MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE 3 (MdMAPK3) positive regulator ethylene-induced fruit during storage. Specifically, show that MdMAPK3 interacts with and phosphorylates transcription factor NAM-ATAF1/2-CUC2 72 (MdNAC72), which functions a...
Abstract Ethylene biosynthesis in apple (Malus domestica) fruit can be suppressed by calcium ions (Ca2+) during storage; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we identified transcription factor MCM1-AGAMOUS-DEFICIENS-SRF5 (MdMADS5), which functions as a transcriptional activator of ethylene biosynthesis-related gene 1-AMINOCYCLOPROPANE-1-CARBOXYLIC ACID SYNTHASE1 (MdACS1), partner sensor CALCIUM-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES7 (MdCDPK7). Ca2+ promoted MdCDPK7-mediated...
Abstract The plant hormone ethylene plays a central role in the ripening of climacteric fruits, such as apple (Malus domestica). Ethylene biosynthesis fruit can be suppressed by calcium ions (Ca2+); however, underlying mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, we identified an APETALA2/ETHYLENE-RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) transcription factor, MdCYTOKININ RESPONSE FACTOR4 (MdCRF4), which functions transcriptional activator biosynthesis- and signaling-related genes, including...
Abstract Fruit of most apple varieties soften after harvest, and although the hormone ethylene is known to induce softening, associated pathway not well resolved. In this study, it determined that MdEAEL1 (Ethylene‐activated E3 ubiquitin Like 1) specifically expressed during fruit postharvest storage, activated by ethylene, interacts with transcription factor MdZFP3 (zinc finger protein3). found rely on an EAR (ethylene‐responsive element binding factor‐associated amphiphilic repression)...
Abstract Room‐temperature shelf life is a key factor in fresh market apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) quality and commercial value. To investigate the genetic molecular mechanism underlying life, quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified using bulked segregant analysis via sequencing (BSA‐seq). Ethylene emission, flesh firmness, or crispness of fruit from 1,273 F 1 plants M. asiatica Nakai ‘Zisai Pearl’ × ‘Golden Delicious’ phenotyped prior to during 6 wk room‐temperature storage....
Abstract Background Browning spot (BS) disorders seriously affect the appearance quality of ‘Huangguan’ pear and cause economic losses. Many studies on BS have mainly focused physiological biochemical aspects, molecular mechanism remains unclear. Results In present study, structural characteristics with were observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water loss brown spots evaluated, transcriptomic metabolomics analyses conducted to reveal underlying skin browning disorder. The results...
SUMMARY Watercore is a common physiological disease of Rosaceae plants, such as apples ( Malus domestica ), usually occurring during fruit ripening. Apple with watercore symptoms prone to browning and rotting, thus losing commercial viability. Sorbitol calcium ions are considered key factors affecting occurrence in apples. However, the mechanism by which they affect remains unclear. Here, we identified that transcription factor MdWRKY9 directly binds promoter MdSOT2 , positively regulates...
Browning disorder, which usually occurs post-harvest in pears subjected to long-term storage, can cause browning of the pear flesh and/or core. In 2011, investigators China found a novel type brown spot (designated as surface spot, SBS) pre-harvest 'Dangshansuli' (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.). SBS has large impact on exterior quality pears. Interestingly, coloration was only peel and not or this paper, de novo transcriptome analysis exocarp with using Illumina sequencing showed that...
This study was conducted to investigate the application of antagonistic yeast strain Hanseniaspora uvarum combined with salicylic acid (SA) and sodium bicarbonate (SBC) create an efficient integrated approach control grey mould on grapes. The results indicated that treatment 1×10 8 CFU/ml H. SA at 2 mM SBC 2% resulted in a remarkably improved B. cinerea infections grapes 25°C,RH 95%. In experimental trials, average lesion diameter samples treated H.uvarum plus after 3 days were both 0.81 cm,...
Abstract Background : Browning spot (BS) disorders seriously affect the appearance quality of ‘Huangguan’ pear and cause economic losses. Many studies on BS have mainly focused physiological biochemical aspects, molecular mechanism is unclear. Result In present study, structural characteristics with were observed SEM, water loss brown evaluated, transcriptome metabonomics analyses conducted to reveal skin browning disorder. The results showed that occurrence was accompanied by a decrease in...
