Conservation and divergence of expression of GA2-oxidase homeologs in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.). [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Transcriptomic responses to biotic stresses in Malus x domestica: a meta-analysis study. [PDF]
AbstractRNA-Seq analysis is a strong tool to gain insight into the molecular responses to biotic stresses in plants. The objective of this work is to identify specific and common molecular responses between different transcriptomic data related to fungi, virus and bacteria attacks in Malus x domestica. We analyzed seven transcriptomic datasets in Malus

Temporal fruit microbiome and immunity dynamics in postharvest apple (<i>Malus</i> x <i>domestica</i>). [PDF]
Abstract The 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. We investigated the temporal dynamics of the fruit microbiota and host defense gene
