Russeting of apple fruit is a non-invasive physiological disorder. It occurs mainly in 'Golden Delicious' apple and its hybrids, while understanding of its molecular mechanism is still limited. In this study, we used mRNA sequencing and an isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation-based qu...
Apple russeting is characterized by the deposition of suberin in the inner part of the epidermal cell walls. It develops at the fruit surface when the integrity of the cuticle has been lost. Cutin and wax composition (including triterpene profile) is also affected in russeted skin. In the present w...
Russeting is a commercially important defect in apple (Malus x domestica) fruit production. Apple russeting is mainly characterized by the accumulation of suberin on the inner part of the cell wall. However, knowledge on the underlying genetic components triggering this trait remains sketchy. A bulk...
