Conservation and divergence of expression of GA2-oxidase homeologs in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 In domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) and other woody perennials, floral initiation can be repressed by gibberellins (GAs). The associated mechanism is a major unanswered question in plant physiology, and understanding organismal aspects of GA

Genetic mechanisms in the repression of flowering by gibberellins in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Gibberellins (GAs) can have profound effects on growth and development in higher plants. In contrast to their flowering-promotive role in many well-studied plants, GAs can repress flowering in woody perennial plants such as apple (Malus x ...

Temporal fruit microbiome and immunity dynamics in postharvest apple (<i>Malus</i> x <i>domestica</i>). [PDF]
Hortic ResThe plant immune response plays a central role in maintaining a well-balanced and healthy microbiome for plant health. However, insights into how the fruit immune response and the fruit microbiome influence fruit health after harvest are limited.

A simple and high-throughput single pollen genotyping pipeline to study meiosis in apple (Malus x domestica) [PDF]
Plant MethodsBackground Pollen are the primary carrier of male genetic information during sexual reproduction. In Angiosperms, pollen are produced in the anthers following the process of meiosis, during which ploidy halving and genetic recombination occurs, mixing ...

Functional Characterization of MdTAC1a Gene Related to Branch Angle in Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.). [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 The Tiller Angle Control 1 (TAC1) gene belongs to the IGT family, which mainly controls plant branch angle, thereby affecting plant form. Two members of MdTAC1 are identified in apple; the regulation of apple branch angle by MdTAC1 is still unclear.
