Ca2+ mediates transcription factor PuDof2.5 and suppresses stone cell production in pear fruits [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Stone cells are sclerenchyma cells formed by deposition of lignin, which is the most significant factor limiting the quality of pears. Ca2+ was known to inhibit stone cells in pear fruits, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Our study

Effects on stone cell development and lignin deposition in pears by different pollinators [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionThe pear pulp is formed by the development of the ovary wall, which is the somatic cell of the female parent, and its genetic traits are identical to those of the female parent, so that its phenotypic traits should also be identical to those ...

Pearprocess: A new phenotypic tool for stone cell trait evaluation in pear fruit
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020 The content of stone cells is an important factor for pear breeding as a high content indicates severely reduced fruit quality in terms of fruit taste.

Proteomics of Crystal–Cell Interactions: A Model for Kidney Stone Research [PDF]
Cells, 2019 Nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis (i.e., kidney stone disease) remains a global public health problem with increasing incidence/prevalence. The most common chemical composition of kidney stones is calcium oxalate that initiates stone formation by ...

Morphological and Developmental Features of Stone Cells in Eriobotrya Fruits [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Some members of the Rosaceae family, particularly pear, contain stone cells in their fruits. Although stone cells in pear fruits are well studied, relatively little attention has been given to loquat stone cells.

Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveals the complex molecular mechanisms underlying stone cell formation in Korla pear [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Korla pear (Pyrus sinkiangensis Yü) is a landrace selected from a hybrid pear species in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in China. In recent years, pericarp roughening has been one of the major factors that adversely affects fruit quality.

Clusterin elaborated by renal tubular epithelial cells under high oxalate stress serves as a matrix protein to facilitate kidney stone formation [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life SciencesCalcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stone is prevalent while the molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. The organic matrix of stones is rich in protein and has been considered to play a important role in stone aggregation and growth.
