Abstract Genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful technology, which has been widely applied to improve traits in cereals, vegetables and even fruit trees. For the delivery of components into dicotyledonous plants, Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated gene transfer still prevalent method, although often accompanied by integration bacterial T-DNA host genome. We assessed two approaches order achieve excision from plant genome, minimizing extent foreign DNA left behind. The first based on...
The low temperature normally applied to prevent fruit decay during the storage of apples, can also triggers onset a chilling injury disorder known as superficial scald. In this work, etiology and mechanism action two preventing strategies, such application 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) at oxygen concentration in 'Granny Smith' 'Ladina' apple cultivars were investigated. metabolite assessment highlighted reorganization specific metabolites, particular flavan-3-ols unsaturated fatty acids,...
Abstract After harvest fruit are stored to preserve the quality features established during on-tree development and maturation, ensuring thus a continuous availability of fresh on market. For certain species like apple, storage can last for almost year, especially when coupled with several strategies, such as reduction oxygen concentration or application ethylene competitor molecules, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). To guarantee maintenance highest quality, monitoring physiological processes...
The outer waxy layer of plant aerial structures, known as the cuticle, represents an important trait that can be targeted to increase tolerance against abiotic stresses exacerbated by environmental transition. MIXTA transcription factor, member R2R3-MYB family, is affect conical shape petal epidermal cells in Anthirrinum, cuticular thickness tomato fruit and trichome formation morphology several crops. aim this study was investigate role grapevine homologue phenotypic molecular...
After harvest, apples are stored at low temperature to slow down the ripening physiological processes. This strategy can, however, also promote development of superficial scald, a chilling injury-related disorder showing brown-discoloured areas on fruit skin, totally compromising its marketability. To examine thoroughly underlying mechanisms and genetic control “Scald-Cold” project, three-year Interegional Project Network, was granted by European Region Tyrol, South Tyrol Trentino (EGTC)....
