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 …

Breeding fruit species is time-consuming and expensive. With few exceptions, trees are
likely the worst species to work with in terms of genetics and breeding. Most are …

Sweet cherry maturity date and fruit quality are relevant traits for its marketability, transport,
and consumer acceptance. In this work, sweet cherry fruit development time, maturity date …

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 …

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 …

Fruit size, one of the crucial traits of fruit, affects pear fruit quality. Usually, both velocity and
duration of swelling determines fruit size. However, fruit enlargement studies involving gene …

Abundant phytochemical content in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) has health-promoting
properties and contributes to fruit quality traits. To identify QTLs associated with sweet cherry …

Abstract Chinese cherry [Cerasus pseudocerasus (Lindl.) G. Don] is one of the important
stone fruits in China. To explore the heredity variation of fruit-related traits, we investigated …

Breeding for decreased fruit cracking incidence and increased fruit firmness in sweet cherry
creates an attractive alternative to variable results from cultural management practices. DNA …
