Open AccessEvidence 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...

Open AccessGenome-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...

Evaluation of pea accessions and commercial cultivars for fusarium root rot resistance
Fusarium root rot caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi (Fsp) can result in major yield losses in pea (Pisum sativum L.). Currently no fungicides effectively manage this disease. Previous studies evaluated the Pi...
