In plants, fruit ripening is a coordinated developmental process that requires the change in
expression of hundreds to thousands of genes to modify many biochemical and …

Although maturity date (MD) is an essential factor affecting fresh fruit marketing and has a
pleiotropic effect on fruit taste qualities, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear …

Sweet cherries are economically important fruit trees, and their quality changes during
development need to be determined. The mechanism of fruit quality changes in sweet …

In sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), large variability exists for various traits related to fruit
quality. There is a need to discover the genetic architecture of these traits in order to …

Australia produces high-quality sweet cherries and generates revenue from local and export
markets. Due to increased demand in the markets, the area of sweet cherry production has …

Rain-induced fruit cracking is a major problem in sweet cherry cultivation. Basic research
has been conducted to disentangle the physiological and mechanistic bases of this complex …

In sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), quantitative trait loci have been identified for fruit maturity,
colour, firmness, and size to develop markers for marker-assisted selection. However …

Postharvest water loss is a critical factor that determines the quality and shelf life of fresh
fruit. Cuticular wax constitutes a key barrier to reduce fruit water loss. Our previous study has …

Fruit size and shape are critical agronomical and pomological attributes and prime targets in
peach breeding programs. Apart from the flat peach type, a Mendelian trait well …

Chinese cherry (Cerasus pseudocerasus (Lindl.) G. Don) is an economically important
tetraploid fruiting cherry species native to China. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs)—due to …
