Expression Analysis of Chlorophyll-Degradation-Related Genes in <i>Prunus persica</i> L. Peel and the Functional Verification of Key Genes.

ABSTRACT: With the evolution of consumer purchasing power and consumption concepts, external attributes such as fruit size, color, and peel smoothness have emerged as pivotal determinants influencing purchasing preferences; among these, the background color of the fruit peel exerts a considerable impact on fruit esthetics. The background color of fruit peel is predominantly influenced by the chlorophyll content. Consequently, examining the degradation patterns of chlorophyll in Prunus persica L. peel holds significant importance for cultivating varieties with a cleaner peel background color. In this study, Prunus persica L. CP14 and 20-29 were selected as experimental materials to evaluate the peel color variation and chlorophyll content during fruit development. Samples collected from
