Several good agricultural practices (GAP) are becoming popular throughout the World for
the production of high quality fruit with less dependence on man-made chemicals. Among …

Fruit quality is certainly influenced by biotic and abiotic factors, and a main quality attribute is
the external appearance of the fruit. Various possible agronomical approaches are able to …

The red coloration of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) results from anthocyanin accumulation in the fruit
peel. Light is required for anthocyanin biosynthesis in pear. A pear homolog of Arabidopsis …

Litchi fruit were exposed to 0.7 PPM hydrogen water (HW) before storage at 25±1℃. HW
treatment delayed the pericarp browning and maintained the total soluble solids (TSS) of …

Melatonin plays a potential role in preserving the postharvest quality of fresh products. This
study investigated the effect of exogenous melatonin on sugar metabolism and quality …

Key message Pp4ERF24 and Pp12ERF96 fine tune blue light-induced anthocyanin
biosynthesis via interacting with PpMYB114 and promoting the interaction between …

Flavonoid accumulation in most fruits is enhanced by ethylene and jasmonate. However,
little is known about the hormone functions related to red pear fruit coloration or their …

Anthocyanins are a valuable source of antioxidants in the human diet and contribute to fruit
coloration. In red-skinned pears, anthocyanin biosynthesis can be induced by light, in which …

Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra) is a fruit crop with cultivars producing fruit ranging from
white (Shui**g, SJ) to red (Dongkui, DK) and dark red-purple (Biqi, BQ), as a result of …

Main conclusion A conserved blue light sensing and transduction pathway contributes to
blue light-induced anthocyanin accumulation in the peel of red pear. Abstract Peel color is …
