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-...
Factors affecting splicing of plant U12-dependent introns have been examined by extensive mutational analyses in an vivo tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) protoplast system using from three different Arabidopsis thaliana genes: CBP20, GSH2, and LD. The results provide evidence that efficiency U12 depends on a combination factors, including UA content, exon bridging interactions between the intron flanking U2-dependent introns, enhancer sequences (ESEs). Unexpectedly, all required adenosine at...
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...
Pasture dieback is a disorder that displays as an abrupt discolouring of leaves in many pasture grasses. It often results plant death, leading to loss productivity. In 2020, the first ever cases New South Wales (NSW) were reported North Coast Local Land Services Region. To support decision makers, this paper reviews current knowledge on cause disorder, conditions its incursion into NSW and management options. While disease has been constrained Coast, there are active 69 parishes. Case...

Abstract Background The changing climate is altering timing of key fruit ripening processes and increasing the occurrence defects. This work aimed to expand our knowledge genetic control process in raspberry by examining a biennial x primocane F 1 population determine if progeny exhibited both flowering modes, which any was dominant, identify QTL genome locations associated with development understand how developmental this differs from F1 previously studied. Results fruiting completing...
