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

Spatial development of transport structures in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruit [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The void network and vascular system are important pathways for the transport of gases, water and solutes in apple fruit (Malus x domestica Borkh). Here we used X-ray micro-tomography at various spatial resolutions to investigate the growth of these ...

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 ...

Genetic mechanisms associated with floral initiation and the repressive effect of fruit on flowering in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Many apple cultivars are subject to biennial fluctuations in flowering and fruiting. It is believed that this phenomenon is caused by a repressive effect of developing fruit on the initiation of flowers in the apex of proximal bourse shoots. However, the

A multidisciplinary approach providing new insight into fruit flesh browning physiology in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In terms of the quality of minimally processed fruit, flesh browning is fundamentally important in the development of an aesthetically unpleasant appearance, with consequent off-flavours. The development of browning depends on the enzymatic action of the

Temporal and spatial variation in bacterial communities of “Jonagold” apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) and “Conference” pear (Pyrus communis L.) floral nectar [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Production of many agricultural crops and fruits strongly depends on pollinators. For instance, pome fruits such as apple and pear are highly dependent on pollination for fruit set, fruit quality, and yield.
