The MADS-box (DAM) gene PpDAM6, which is related to dormancy, plays a key role in bud endodormancy release, and the expression of PpDAM6 decreases during endodormancy release. However, the interaction network that governs its regulation of the endodormancy release of flower buds in peach remains...

To understand the genetic regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in peach (Prunus persica L.) fruit and the effects of pre-harvest debagging, the peels of two peach varieties (nectarine 'Zijinhong 2' and peach 'Xiahui 8') were used to explore the accumulation of anthocyanins using a transcriptomics ...

As climacteric fruits, fleshy Prunus has a short ripening period and short shelf-life after harvest. Therefore, the main problem with these fruits is its physiological parameters related to the maintenance of firmness. In this work, the effects of combined foliar sprays (Ca+B and Ca+Si) on the...

Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the representative climacteric fruits susceptible to environmental stresses, including microbial contamination. This article analyzed major findings from the literature on pre- and post-harvest technologies for maintaining the quality of peach fruit to figure out...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the biological properties of principal secondary metabolites of Prunus persica L. leaves using different in vitro assays. The chloroformic extract contained the highest levels of total phenolic, flavonoids, tannins and flavonolscontents with 116.83±4.31 ...

Hemicycliophora species are migratory root ectoparasites of higher plants, commonly known as sheath nematodes. The present study describes a new species, Hemicycliophora geraerti n. sp., recovered from the rhizosphere of peach tree (Prunus persica) in Zhejiang Province, China. This species is...

The peach aphid Tuberocephalus momonis seriously damages leaves and forms galls in the peach species Prunus persica f. rubro-plena, P. persica, and P. davidiana. Leaves bearing galls formed by these aphids will be abscised at least two months earlier than the healthy leaves on the same tree. Thus,...

Background: Organic acids are important components that determine the fruit flavor of peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch). However, the dynamics of organic acid diversity during fruit ripening and the key genes that modulate the organic acids metabolism remain largely unknown in this kind of fruit...

For effective varietal improvement of horticultural crops peach (Prunus persica) and nectarine (Prunus persica var. nucipersica), information about their population structure and genetic relatedness plays an important role. In this study we used retrotransposon-based markers (iPBS) to estimate the...

Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, that can cause disease in citrus and stone fruit production areas, is a destructive plant pathogenic bacterial disease agent worldwide. While the pathogen causes citrus blast disease on citrus cultivars, it is known as bacterial cancer disease on stone fruits....
