Fleshy fruit texture is a critically important quality characteristic of ripe fruit. Softening is an
irreversible process which operates in most fleshy fruits during ripening which, together with …

The peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] genome sequence has been recently made
available to the scientific community. This represents the culmination of a long process that …

Plants subjected to wounding stress produce secondary metabolites. Several of these
metabolites prevent chronic diseases and can be used as colorants, flavors and as …

Abstract Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) is a climacteric fruit that ripens after harvest, prior
to human consumption. Organic acids and soluble sugars contribute to the overall …

Peach (Prunus persica) is an economically important fruit crop and a well-characterized
model for studying Prunus species. Here we explore the evolutionary history of peach using …

Melting flesh peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch., cv. Hujingmilu) fruit were harvested and
stored at 0, 5, 8° C for up to 21 d. Data on emission of characteristic aroma-related volatiles …

Low temperature conditioning (LTC) alleviates peach fruit chilling injury but the underlying
molecular basis is poorly understood. Here, changes in transcriptome, ethylene production …

As peaches ripen and deteriorate quickly, cold storage is used to extend their marketability.
However, peach cold storage is limited by the development of physiological disorders, such …

Abstract 'Crimson Seedless' is one of the most important table grape varieties in Chile, but
under certain environmental conditions, the fruit exhibits inadequate red color development …

Shipping of peaches to distant markets and storage require low temperature; however, cold
storage affects fruit quality causing physiological disorders collectively termed 'chilling …
