Article Synopsis
- The study identifies two key periods of fruit swelling in peaches, with the first swelling ending around 65 days after flower blooming and the second starting at about 75 days.
- Researchers conducted RNA-sequencing to analyze gene expression during these swelling periods, uncovering 110 and 128 differentially expressed genes associated with the initial and second swellings, respectively.
- The findings suggest a cooperative regulation of swelling velocity and duration that determines final fruit size, along with a proposed gene regulation network particularly involving genes that affect cell size and expansion.
This study was conducted with a recombinant inbred line (RILs) population consisting of 240 recombination lines, derived from an elite combination, Zhenshan 97B x Minghui 63. The RILs and their parents were grown in a randomized complete design with two replications in the years of 1999 and 2000. Sheath blight response ratings for the population and their parents were identified by an improved method of inoculation, which was carried out with short woody toothpicks incubated with a Rhizoctonia solani strain, RH-9, and inserted the third sheath in the late tillering/green ring stage of growth.
