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 ...

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
