Fruit ripening is a complex and highly regulated process where tomato and strawberry have
been the model species classically used for studying climacteric and non-climacteric fleshy …

Sweetness and appearance of fresh fruits are key palatable and preference attributes for
consumers and are often controlled by multiple genes. However, fine-mapping the key loci …

Linking genotype with phenotype is a fundamental goal in biology and requires robust data
for both. Recent advances in plant‐genome sequencing have expedited comparisons …

Oriental melon (Cucumis melo var. acidulus) is one of the most economically important fruit
crops worldwide. To elucidate the molecular basis related to soluble sugar and organic acid …

Melon is an economically important crop with widely diverse fruit morphology and ripening
characteristics. Its diploid sequenced genome and multiple genomic tools make this species …

Background Auxin/indoleacetic acid (AUX/IAA) genes encoding short-lived proteins
participate in AUX signaling transduction and play crucial roles in plant growth and …

The importance of melon aroma in determining fruit quality has been highlighted in recent
years. The fruit volatile profile is influenced by the type of fruit ripening. Non-climacteric fruits …

Fruit ripening is one of the main processes affecting fruit quality and shelf life. In melon there
are both climacteric and non-climacteric genotypes, making it a suitable species to study fruit …

SUMMARY FLAGELLIN SENSING 2 (FLS2) encodes a pattern recognition receptor that
perceives bacterial flagellin. While putative FLS2 orthologs are broadly conserved in plants …

The effect of the QTL involved in climacteric ripening ETHQB3. 5 on the fruit VOC
composition was studied using a set of Near-Isogenic Lines (NILs) containing overlapping …
