Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals the mechanisms of hydrogen-rich water in mitigating salt stress in peach seeds (Prunus davidiana)
Salt stress is a major abiotic stress that impairs plant growth and development, affecting gene transcription, metabolite profiles, and overall phenotypes. However, the underlying molecular response mechanisms, especially those mediated by hydrogen-rich water (HRW), remain unclear. In this study…

Establishment of an in vivo callus induction and bud regeneration system for Actinidia arguta
Conventional in vitro tissue culture methods for fruit trees are often limited by the long duration from plantlet induction to field transplantation, the need to maintain sterile conditions, and high operational costs. To overcome these limitations, we optimized key factors—including covering…

Ca2+ mediated PbCML46-PbbHLH96 module negatively regulates lignin biosynthesis in pear fruit
Stone cell formation, resulting from aberrant lignin deposition in parenchyma cells, is a key determinant of pear fruit quality. Although exogenous calcium application is known to inhibit lignin biosynthesis and stone cell development, the underlying molecular mechanism involving calcium sensor…

Chitosan and salicylic acid enhance postharvest resistance in grapes via integrated modulation of antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-senescence pathways
The limited postharvest life of grapes poses a significant challenge to their commercial value. This study employed an integrated approach, combining in vitro and in vivo antifungal assays, storage experiments at two temperatures (4 and 26 °C), and physiological and molecular analyses, to elucidate…

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of GDSL-type esterases/lipases (GELP) gene family in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.)
The GDSL-type esterase/lipase family plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development, modulating responses to abiotic stresses, activating pathogen defense mechanisms, and governing lipid metabolism pathways. In this study, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis using integrated…

Phosphorus-induced enhancement of adventitious root formation in K2 apple rootstocks: hormonal and gene expression insights
Adventitious root (AR) formation is a crucial process for the clonal propagation of horticultural crops. Phosphorus (P), a key macronutrient, plays an essential role in various physiological and molecular processes involved in AR formation, including cell division and development. However, its role…

Uncovering genetic relationships and designing markers for genotyping European pear varieties
Understanding relationships among pear (Pyrus spp.) accessions and ensuring their correct identification is critical for breeding and germplasm management. In this study, we analyzed 445 accessions, primarily Pyrus communis, using three genotyping approaches to assess population structure…

Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal genetic regulation of anthocyanin accumulation in the peel of three jaboticaba cultivars
Differences in the fruit peel color of jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) are primarily determined by the content and composition of anthocyanins. In this study, a combined strategy of targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics was employed to systematically elucidate the molecular regulatory…

Scion and rootstock genotypes drive root system dynamics in modern apple orchards
Root systems are critical to orchard productivity and resilience, yet their size and structure remain poorly characterized in modern high-density apple (Malus × domestica) plantings. We examined root architectural traits of G.935 and M.9Nic29 apple rootstocks over two years in a high-density…

Sugars and organic acid profiles are associated with textural diversity in jujube fruit
Fruit texture is a critical quality trait affecting the consumer acceptance and processing suitability of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.). Soluble sugars and organic acids are not only fundamental to flavor but also serve as key metabolic indicators associated with textural diversity. However, how…

Physiological and molecular insights into peel thickness variation between mutant and cultivated type apples
The apple peel plays a vital role in determining fruit quality and postharvest performance. In this study, the morphological, physiological, and transcriptomic differences between a thin-peel mutant and a thick-peel cultivated apple were comprehensively investigated. Morphological analysis…

GBS-based marker–trait association and genetic mapping for enhanced QTL significance in apricot progenies (Prunus armeniaca L.)
Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) offers a powerful tool for high-resolution mapping by identifying single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) aligned to a reference genome. This study aimed to construct high-density genetic maps for two apricot populations, 'Bergeron' × 'Currot' ('B × C') and 'Goldrich'…

Genetic analysis and comprehensive evaluation of fruit traits in F1 population from 'MATO' × 'Royal Gala'
Comprehensive investigations into genetic predisposition, heritability, and systematic evaluation of fruit quality traits are essential for reflecting plant characteristics and achieving crop breeding objectives. However, such studies remain limited in apple. In this study, hereditary variation…

Revealing the functional role of sucrose nonfermenting-1-related protein kinase gene SnRK2.10 in regulating starch degradation in banana (Musa acuminata)
Starch degradation is a critical process influencing fruit quality and shelf life during postharvest ripening of banana. Sucrose nonfermenting-1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) is a plant-specific Ser/Thr protein kinase family primarily involved in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling; however, its role…

Genome-wide identification of histone acetyltransferases in banana and functional characterization of MaHAG28 during fruit ripening
Protein acetylation and deacetylation are critical post-translational modifications (PTMs) that regulate diverse biological processes in eukaryotes. Although histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been characterized in several plant species, a systematic analysis of…
