Primary metabolite profiling by NMR reveals the key role of sugars and organic acids in driving the domestication process in apple

Genny Zambiasi, Pavel Solovyev, Marta Degasperi, Nicola Busatto et autres

• Large-scale NMR metabolomics reveals apple domestication signatures. • PCA and OPLS-DA clearly separated wild Malus spp. from M. domestica. • Sucrose, fructose and malic acid drive metabolic domestication patterns. • Wild species show higher organic acids, domesticated apples higher sugars. • …

Highly compartmentalized microbiomes in blueberry microhabitats

M. Hunter Giese, Erika Stefani, Simone Larger, Massimo Pindo et autres

Introduction Blueberries are considered a superfood because of their rich content of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, supporting multiple health benefits. Plants host complex microbiomes that play crucial roles in resistance to pathogens, productivity, and stress tolerance. Despite its importance, a comprehensive characterization …

Secondary metabolite profiling deciphers the phenolic and volatile organic compound diversity within an interspecific Malus collection

Genny Zambiasi, Marta Degasperi, Iuliia Khomenko, Franco Biasioli et autres

Secondary metabolites play fundamental roles in apple, influencing the interaction with pollinators and frugivores for the seed dispersal, contributing to fruit quality and promoting human health through their antioxidant property. Domestication and breeding have significantly re-shaped the apple metabolism, altering both aromatic …

Early postharvest application of LED lighting enhances strawberry quality during storage

Brian Farneti, Ivan Paucek, Iuliia Khomenko, Giuseppina Pennisi et autres

Strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) perishability challenges postharvest quality retention. Traditional postharvest methods have limitations, and early harvesting to extend shelf-life often compromises sensory attributes. This study investigated whether 24 h or 48 h treatments performed at the beginning of postharvest …

Study of the dynamic of cultural microbiome of kiwifruit along postharvest storage for the selection of beneficial microorganisms

Farideh Sadeghian, A. Strano, P. Voulgaris, Marica Consolini et autres

The aim is to investigate the evolution of the microbial community of kiwifruit during postharvest storage and the impact of eight different bacterial strains, possessing specific metabolic activity, on the fruit of A. chinensis var. chinensis quality parameters. Additionally, the fate and …

Non-Destructive PTR-ToF-MS Profiling of Red Delicious and Granny Smith Apple Volatilomes During Ripening

Alessia Panarese, Brian Farneti, Angelo Zanella, Iuliia Khomenko

The optimal harvest date (OHD) for the long-term storage of apple fruits is of the utmost importance, not only for maintaining high quality levels, but also because the ripening stage, regulated by the autocatalytic activity of the internal ethylene concentration, greatly affects …

GWAS analysis of an almond germplasm collection unravels the genetic regulation of aroma in fresh and roasted kernels

Mario Di Guardo, Brian Farneti, Iuliia Khomenko, Leonardo Paul Luca et autres

Almond (Prunus dulcis Mill. D.A. Webb) cultivation rapidly spread throughout the Mediterranean area from central Asia, reaching Sicily while it was under Greek colonization. The long history of cultivation resulted in the selection and propagation of hundreds of selections characterized by a …

Transcriptomic and volatilomic profiles reveal Neofabraea vagabunda infection-induced changes in susceptible and resistant apples during storage

Paolo Baldi, Matteo Buti, Valeria Gualandri, Iuliia Khomenko et autres

Bull’s eye rot is one of the most severe diseases that may affect apple fruit during post-harvest storage. It is caused by the fungus Neofabraea vagabunda, and the mechanism by which the pathogen infects the fruits is only partially understood. In particular, …
