The tomato long shelf-life fruit phenotype: Knowledge, uncertainties and prospects

Aina Juan-Cabot et al.

Summary: The long shelf-life (LSL) phenotype is characteristic of Mediterranean tomato landraces, yet the genetic basis behind it is still not completely defined. New technologies have revealed that the LSL phenotype is dependent on traits beyond ethylene synthesis and response pathways. Current research indicates that singular mutations may not be enough to lead to the LSL phenotype.

Alteration of physiological and biochemical properties in leaves and fruits of pomegranate in response to gamma irradiation

Safoora Saadati et al.

Summary: Pomegranate breeding for improved marketability has been achieved through gamma radiation-induced mutagenesis, resulting in the selection of 11 mutants with superior winter survival and disease resistance. The study also revealed uneven effects of irradiation on physiological and biochemical parameters of pomegranate leaves and fruits, with some mutants exhibiting larger fruit size and higher weight of ripe fruits.

The Citrus Mutant Jedae-unshiu Induced by Gamma Irradiation Exhibits a Unique Fruit Shape and Increased Flavonoid Content

Chang-Ho Eun et al.

Summary: Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc. cv. Miyagawa-wase), the most widely cultivated citrus variety in Korea, has been studied for its mutants produced by gamma ray irradiation and grafting. One of the selected mutant lines, Jedae-unshiu, exhibited a unique fruit shape with vertical troughs on the flavedo, smooth albedo, and good adhesion between peel and flesh. Jedae-unshiu also had thicker peels, higher fruit hardness, and higher levels of hesperetin and narirutin. Additionally, microscopic observations revealed intact epidermal cells in the mature fruit peels of Jedae-unshiu. The findings suggest that Jedae-unshiu has the potential to be developed as a storage variety with high flavonoid content and ornamental value.

Comparative Transcriptome and sRNAome Analyses Reveal the Regulatory Mechanisms of Fruit Ripening in a Spontaneous Early-Ripening Navel Orange Mutant and Its Wild Type

Lanfang Mi et al.

Summary: In this study, comparative transcriptome and sRNAome analyses were performed to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of fruit ripening in an early-ripening navel orange mutant and its wild type. The results revealed the importance of secondary metabolic materials, plant hormone signal transduction, and starch and sucrose metabolism in the formation of early-ripening traits. Additionally, key miRNAs and their target genes were identified as important regulators in citrus fruit development and ripening.

Gene regulation in climacteric fruit ripening

Javier Brumos

Summary: Fruit ripening is a highly regulated developmental process aiming to attract herbivores by maximizing organoleptic traits. The process involves coordinated changes in color, flavor, and firmness. Dynamic interactions between hormones, transcription factors, and epigenetic modifications establish a complex regulatory network for ripening-related gene expression.

Molecular and Hormonal Mechanisms Regulating Fleshy Fruit Ripening

Shan Li et al.

Summary: This article explores the molecular and hormonal mechanisms behind the ripening and quality of fleshy fruits, with a focus on ethylene as the initiator of tomato ripening and the involvement of other hormones such as ABA, JA, and BR in promoting ripening. Light, transcription factors, and non-coding RNAs also play key roles in regulating ripening processes in different fruits.

Segregation Distortion for Male Parents in High Density Genetic Maps from Reciprocal Crosses between Two Self-Incompatible Cultivars Confirms a Gametophytic System for Self-Incompatibility in Citrus

Patrick Ollitrault et al.

Summary: In this study, the S locus in citrus was located by analyzing segregation distortion in reciprocal crosses of two self-incompatible citrus varieties. The results indicate that the S locus is located at the beginning of chromosome 7 of the clementine reference genome, supporting the previously proposed S genotypes.

MicroRNAs and Transcripts Associated with an Early Ripening Mutant of Pomelo (Citrus grandis Osbeck)

Heli Pan et al.

Summary: The early-ripening cultivar 'Liuyuezaoyou' of Citrus grandis exhibits significant differences in phytohormones, sugar compounds, and organic acids compared to the wild type. Through high-throughput sequencing and RT-PCR, it was discovered that miRNAs play an important role in regulating the ripening process of Citrus grandis fruit, forming a complex network with transcriptomes. Further analysis revealed intricate interactions of miRNAs with mRNA targets, providing insights into the mechanisms underlying fruit ripening in this species.

Genome-wide DNA polymorphisms of Citrus unshiu Marc. cv. Miyagawa-wase cultivated in different regions based on whole-genome re-sequencing

Chang-Ho Eun et al.

Summary: This study re-sequenced the genomes of two Citrus unshiu cultivars (Miyagawa-1 and Miyagawa-2) cultivated in Korea and found significant genetic variations compared to the published reference genome. The variations were mainly observed in single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels), with a large portion located in genic regions. Gene ontology analysis revealed a high number of annotated genes with SNPs and InDels. The results suggest that using the Miyagawa-1 and Miyagawa-2 genome sequences as reference may lead to more accurate research outcomes when studying C. unshiu cultivated in Korea.

Creating a novel herbicide-tolerance OsALS allele using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing

Fangquan Wang et al.

Summary: The novel herbicide-tolerance allele (G628W) created in rice using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing proved to be valuable for developing elite rice varieties with strong herbicide tolerance. A DNA marker for the G628W allele was developed to accurately distinguish homozygous from heterozygous segregants, facilitating its use and introgression into elite alleles for crop breeding. This study further demonstrates the feasibility of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in generating novel genetic variation for crop improvement.
