Abstract The genus Vaccinium L.(Ericaceae) contains premium berryfruit crops, including
blueberry, cranberry, bilberry, and lingonberry. Consumption of Vaccinium berries is strongly …

In the last decades, linkage map** has help in the location of metabolite quantitative trait
loci (QTL) in many species; however, this approach shows some limitations. Recently …

Dihydrochalcones (DHCs) are flavonoids produced as a side branch of the phenylpropanoid
pathway. DHCs are found at high concentrations in apples (Malus spp.) but not in pears …

Organic acids are major determinants of fruit flavor and a primary focus of fruit crop
breeding. The accumulation of organic acids is determined by their synthesis, degradation …

We used 256 apple germplasm resources for a thorough examination of the genetic diversity
associated with 26 phenotypic traits (ie, genetic diversity analysis, cluster analysis …

Sieboldin is a specialised secondary metabolite of the group of dihydrochalcones (DHC),
found in high concentrations only in some wild Malus species, closely related to the …

In order to provide food and nutritional security for the world's rapidly expanding population,
fruit crop researchers have identified two critical priorities: increasing production and …

Apple germplasm resources can be divided into 35 species (taxonomy) and further
categorized as wild germplasms, landraces, and cultivars (germplasm type-based …

The HSP20 family is the major member of heat shock proteins that are essential components
involved in plant growth, development, and stress response, but little is known about tree …

Cotton flowers are rich in various flavonoids, exhibiting multiple biological activities,
including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. The biosynthetic mechanism …
