Genetic control underlying dynamics of blueberry bioactive compounds during postharvest can drive breeding for functional fruits [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) are widely recognized as a superfruit due to their high content health‐promoting bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. While these metabolites provide significant health benefits, their postharvest stability and implications for shelf life are not well characterized, a fact that is essential
