Metabolome and transcriptome profiling in different bagging pear fruit reveals that PbKCS10 affects the occurrence of superficial scald via regulating the wax formation

Chunjian Zhang et al.

Summary: Superficial scald is a physiological disorder that occurs during long-term cold storage after harvest. This study investigated the occurrence mechanism of superficial scald by using different preharvest bagging treatments and analyzing the wax content and components. The results showed that fruit bagged with non-woven fabric had higher wax content and specific components, which resulted in a lower incidence of superficial scald. Transcriptomics analysis identified a wax synthesis gene, PbKCS10, which was highly expressed in fruit with low incidence of superficial scald. The function of PbKCS10 was found to reduce the occurrence of superficial scald by promoting wax formation.

Tomato SlCER1-1 catalyzes the synthesis of wax alkanes, increasing drought tolerance and fruit storability

Hongqi Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the genes related to wax alkane biosynthesis in tomato and found that SlCER1-1 plays an important role in this process. Silencing SlCER1-1 reduced the amounts of wax alkanes, while overexpression had the opposite effect. Furthermore, SlCER1-1 was found to be associated with drought tolerance and fruit storability in tomato.

Comparative analysis of the cuticular waxes and related gene expression between 'Newhall' and 'Ganqi 3' navel orange during long-term cold storage

Dechun Liu et al.

Summary: Comparing the morphology, chemical composition, and gene expression of cuticular waxes between a wax-deficient mutant and wild type fruit, it was found that differences in wax composition may contribute to postharvest weight loss and decay rates. The study suggests that wax-related genes may regulate the morphology and chemical composition of cuticular waxes, playing a critical role in postharvest quality of navel oranges.

Chemical Composition, Crystal Morphology, and Key Gene Expression of the Cuticular Waxes of Goji (Lycium barbarum L.) Berries

Peng Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the cuticular wax of six goji berry cultivars, revealing that fatty acids, alkanes, and primary alcohols are major components related to the formation of irregular lamellar crystal structures. The terpenoid compounds in goji berries' cuticular wax showed high resistance to Alternaria rot. Genes such as CER1, CER6, LACS1, MAH1, LTP4, ABC11, MYB96, and WIN1 were found to be closely related to wax synthesis in goji berries.
