Abstract Ethylene response factors 2 (ERF2) belongs to the AP2/ERF transcription factor
family and plays key roles in ethylene signal transduction. The roles of MdERF2 in apple …

Cuticular wax contributes to maintaining postharvest storage quality against fruit water loss
and softening. Triterpenoids, such as oleanolic acid (OA) and ursolic acid (UA), are the main …

The implications of grape berry transpiration for the ripening process and final grape
composition were studied. An experiment was conducted, under controlled conditions, with …

Cuticle is the first layer protecting plants against external biotic and abiotic factors and is
responsive to climatic factors as well as determined by genetic adaptations. In this study, the …

Habanero peppers constantly face biotic and abiotic stresses such as pathogen/pest
infections, extreme temperature, drought and UV radiation. In addition, the fruit cutin lipid …

In our investigation, we evaluated the content of chlorogenic acid, proanthocyanidins,
anthocyanins, flavonols, triterpenoids, and phytosterols in cranberry fruit extracts of the …

The surface waxes of 'Korla'pears can become greasy during storage when overripened,
and the wax changes are considered to be responsible for this disorder, but the relationship …

The industrial currants finishing generates a considerable amount of side-stream (FSS) with
great potential for biotechnological exploitation. The chemical composition of FSS generated …

Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) is a fungal plant pathogen causing postharvest decay in
strawberry fruit. Here, we conducted a comparative transcriptome analysis to identify …

Greasiness in apple skin reduces its quality, and its level varies depending on the variety. In
this study, low-temperature (1±0.5° C) stored 'Hongro'and 'Fuji', which had differences in the …
