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 …

Peaches and nectarines are temperate climate stone fruits, which should be stored at 0° C to
prevent the ripening of these climacteric fruits. However, if stored for too long or if stored at a …

Background Carotenoids are plant metabolites which are not only essential in
photosynthesis but also important quality factors in determining the pigmentation and aroma …

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 …

Cotton fiber as a single-celled trichome is a biological model system for studying cell
differentiation and elongation. However, the complexity of its gene expression and …

Fruit quality is a very complex trait that is affected by both genetic and non-genetic factors.
Generally, low temperature (LT) is used to delay fruit senescence and maintain fruit quality …

Background Peach fruit undergoes a rapid softening process that involves a number of
metabolic changes. Storing fruit at low temperatures has been widely used to extend its …

Reconfiguration of the metabolome is a key component involved in the acclimation to cold in
plants; however, few studies have been devoted to the analysis of the overall metabolite …

Ripening of climacteric fruits involves a complex network of biochemical and metabolic
changes that make them palatable and rich in nutritional and health-beneficial compounds …
