Transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveal phenotype formation differences between russet and non-russet apples [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The apple is an economically important fruit, and fruit russeting is not conducive to its appearance. Although studies have examined fruit russeting, its mechanism remains unclear.

Epigenetic Modifications Related to Potato Skin Russeting [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Potato tuber skin is a protective corky tissue consisting of suberized phellem cells. Smooth-skinned varieties are characterized by a clean, shiny appearance compared to the darker hue of russeted potatoes.

Lenticels are sites of initiation of microcracking and russeting in ‘Apple’ mango [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The mango cultivar ‘Apple’ is an important fruitcrop in Kenya, but it is highly susceptible to russeting. The objective was to establish whether lenticels predispose cv. ‘Apple’ mango to russeting.

Potato Periderm Development and Tuber Skin Quality [PDF]
Plants, 2022 The periderm is a corky tissue that replaces the epidermis when the latter is damaged, and is critical for preventing pathogen invasion and water loss. The periderm is formed through the meristematic activity of phellogen cells (cork cambium). The potato

Time course of changes in the transcriptome during russet induction in apple fruit [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Russeting is a major problem in many fruit crops. Russeting is caused by environmental factors such as wounding or moisture exposure of the fruit surface.

Identification of Novel Candidate Genes Involved in Apple Cuticle Integrity and Russeting-Associated Triterpene Synthesis Using Metabolomic, Proteomic, and Transcriptomic Data [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Apple russeting develops on the fruit surface when skin integrity has been lost. It induces a modification of fruit wax composition, including its triterpene profile. In the present work, we studied two closely related apple varieties, ‘Reinette grise du

Russeting in ‘Apple’ Mango: Triggers and Mechanisms [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Russeting is an important surface disorder of many fruitcrop species. The mango cultivar ‘Apple’ is especially susceptible to russeting. Russeting compromises both fruit appearance and postharvest performance.

Russeting in Apple Is Initiated After Exposure to Moisture Ends—I. Histological Evidence [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Russeting (periderm formation) is a critical fruit-surface disorder in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). The first symptom of insipient russeting is cuticular microcracking. Humid and rainy weather increases russeting.
