Chemical Characterization and Evaluation of the Antihyperglycemic Effect of Lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) cv. Brewster

Alexandra Ivette Contreras-Castro et al.

Summary: The study found that Brewster lychee fruits have antihyperglycemic effects, with the peel, pulp, and seed reducing blood glucose levels at different stages of maturity. The peel and seeds showed high antioxidant activity and contained high levels of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and organic acids. The findings suggest that Brewster mature lychees are safe for human consumption, and the seed and peel could be sources of new compounds with antihyperglycemic activity.

Two divergent haplotypes from a highly heterozygous lychee genome suggest independent domestication events for early and late-maturing cultivars

Guibing Hu et al.

Summary: By studying the genome of lychee, it was found that lychee had undergone two independent domestication events in Yunnan and Hainan, China. The maturity differences between early-maturing and late-maturing lychee cultivars may be regulated by gene deletions. This research is important for understanding the domestication history of lychee and improving lychee and related crops.

Fruit maturity differentially affects fruit quality and responses of targeted metabolites in cold-stored figs(Ficus caricaL.)

Si-Eun Byeon et al.

Summary: The study found that fruit size and weight decrease during cold storage, respiration rate and color variables differ between different maturity stages, and levels of soluble carbohydrates and organic acids vary with fruit maturity. Most amino acids decrease during cold storage, but some increase in 100% mature fruits.

Assessment of organic acid accumulation and its related genes in peach

Beibei Zheng et al.

Summary: Fruit acidity is crucial for peach organoleptic quality, with organic acids such as malate and citrate being the predominant components in ripe fruits. The regulatory mechanism of organic acid accumulation differs between high-acid and low-acid cultivars, involving genes related to metabolism and vacuolar storage. Metabolism plays a key role in citrate accumulation while vacuolar storage is essential for malate accumulation in peach fruits.

Molecular Bases of Fruit Quality in Prunus Species: An Integrated Genomic, Transcriptomic, and Metabolic Review with a Breeding Perspective

Beatriz E. Garcia-Gomez et al.

Summary: Fruit ripening in plants involves complex processes that require the coordinated change in expression of hundreds to thousands of genes and various biochemical and physiological signal cascades. In Prunus species, ripening includes carbohydrate conversion, fruit firmness reduction, color changes, acidity decrease, and aroma increase, all of which are regulated at molecular levels.

Integrative Analysis of the Coloring Mechanism of Red Longan Pericarp through Metabolome and Transcriptome Analyses

Debao Yi et al.

Summary: The red pericarp longan has a strong red hue due to the accumulation of cyanidin derivatives in its pericarp. Compared to conventional longan, specific anthocyanins are significantly increased in red pericarp longan, and some structural and controlling genes are upregulated, potentially playing important roles in the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanin.

Molecular Insights of Fruit Quality Traits in Peaches, Prunus persica

Karpagam Veerappan et al.

Summary: Fleshy fruits, particularly those from the genus Prunus, are highly demanded due to their diverse stone/drupe fruit varieties. Peach varieties have unique palatable qualities, but shorter post-harvest life due to excessive softening, which has led to studies focusing on the molecular mechanisms and genetic basis of the softening process.

The emerging role of GABA as a transport regulator and physiological signal

Bo Xu et al.

Summary: The proposal of GABA acting as a signal in plants has been around for decades, but its signaling mode of action has only recently been uncovered. Recent research shows that GABA regulates anion transport through ALMTs, suggesting broad regulatory roles in plants. GABA is involved in regulating pollen tube growth, stomatal aperture, and potentially long-distance signaling and interactions with various hormones.
