Changes in carbohydrates and organic acids largely determine the palatability of edible
tissues of horticulture crops. Elucidating the potential molecular mechanisms involved in the …

Anthocyanins, a flavonoid group of polyphenolic compounds, are important human health-promoting
pigments responsible for the red and blue colors of horticultural products such as …

Malic acid accumulation in the vacuole largely determines acidity and perception of
sweetness of apple. It has long been observed that reduction in malate level is associated with …

Sugars are involved in plant growth, fruit quality, and signaling perception. Therefore,
understanding the mechanisms involved in soluble sugar accumulation is essential to understand …

MYB transcription factors (TFs) participate in many biological processes. However, the
molecular mechanisms by which MYB TFs affect plant resistance to apple ring rot remain poorly …

Ethylene response factor (ERF) is a plant-specific transcription factor involved in many
biological processes including root formation, hypocotyl elongation, fruit ripening, organ …

As an important primary metabolite, malate plays a key role in regulating osmotic pressure,
pH homeostasis, stress tolerance, and fruit quality of apple. The R2R3-MYB transcription …

Excessive application of nitrate, an essential macronutrient and a signal regulating diverse
physiological processes, decreases malate accumulation in apple (Malus domestica) fruit, …

Main conclusion MdPUB29 is a positive regulator of the defense response to the fungal
pathogen Botryosphaeria dothidea possibly by directly regulating the salicylic acid (SA) content …

Basic helix− loop− helix (bHLH) domain-containing transcription factors are known for their
roles in regulating various plant growth and developmental processes. Previously, we …
