Abstract:Watercore is a common physiological disorder in pear and is closely related to excessive accumulation of sorbitol and sucrose. Our previous research found the watercore incidence of ‘Akibae’ (Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Akibae) fruit significantly decreased after boron application (BA). Moreover, foliar spray of boric acid also significantly improved fruit quality. To uncover the mechanisms underlying pear fruit response to BA, a comprehensive transcriptome analysis was performed in this study. Transcriptome results r… Show more
