Peach is the most important temperate fruit crop worldwide in terms of production after
apple. However, a descending trend has been registered over the recent years in several …

Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and
functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic mapping …

Abstract Background Structural variations (SVs), a major resource of genomic variation, can
have profound consequences on phenotypic variation, yet the impacts of SVs remain largely …

Peach is a typical climacteric fruit that releases ethylene during fruit ripening. Several
studies have been conducted on the transcriptional regulation of ethylene biosynthesis in …

Auxin can inhibit or promote fruit ripening, depending on the species. Melting flesh (MF)
peach fruit (Prunus persica L. Batsch) cultivars produce high levels of ethylene caused by …

Although auxin is known to induce ethylene biosynthesis in some Rosaceae fruit crops, the
mechanisms underlying the auxin–ethylene interaction during fruit ripening remain largely …

Fleshy fruits are the most demanded fruits because of their organoleptic qualities and
nutritional values. The genus Prunus is a rich source of diversified stone/drupe fruits such as …

The rising interest in beneficial health properties of polyphenol compounds in fruit initiated
this investigation about biochemical composition in peach mesocarp/exocarp. Biochemical …

Research on peach genetic resources and breeding has achieved remarkable progress in
recent decades, especially in China. In this review, we first described the geographic …

Background Bread wheat is one of the most important crops for the human diet, but the
increasing soil salinization is causing yield reductions worldwide. Improving salt stress …
