    Glyoxylic acid overcomes 1-MCP-induced blockage of fruit ripening in Pyrus communis L. var. ‘D’Anjou’

    1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in an ethylene receptor antagonist that blocks ethylene perception and downstream ripening responses in climacteric fruit imparting a longer shelf life. However, in European pear, ...

    Genome-Scale Characterization of Predicted Plastid-Targeted Proteomes in Higher Plants

    Plastids are morphologically and functionally diverse organelles that are dependent on nuclear-encoded, plastid-targeted proteins for all biochemical and regulatory functions. However, how plastid proteomes va...

    Evidence for the Involvement of Vernalization-related Genes in the Regulation of Cold-induced Ripening in ‘D’Anjou’ and ‘Bartlett’ Pear Fruit

    European pear (Pyrus communis L.) cultivars require a genetically pre-determined duration of cold-temperature exposure to induce autocatalytic system 2 ethylene biosynthesis and subsequent fruit ripening. The phy...
