Background: In a previous study, the early ripening of Kyoho grape following HO treatment was explored at the physiological level, but the mechanism by which HO promotes ripening at the molecular level is unclear. To reveal the molecular mechanism, RNA-sequencing analysis was conducted on the different developmental stages of Kyoho berry treated with HO.
Results: In the comparison of treatment and control groups, 406 genes were up-regulated and 683 were down-regulated. Time course sequencing (TCseq) analysis showed that the expression patterns of most of the genes were similar between the treatment and control, except for some genes related to chlorophyll binding and photosynthesis. Differential expression analysis and the weighted gene co-expression network were used to screen significantly differentially expressed genes and hub genes associated with oxidative stress (heat shock protein, HSP), cell wall deacetylation (GDSL esterase/lipase, GDSL), cell wall degradation (xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/ hydrolase, XTH), and photosynthesis (chlorophyll a-b binding protein, CAB1). Gene expression was verified with RT-qPCR, and the results were largely consistent with those of RNA sequencing.
Conclusions: The RNA-sequencing analysis indicated that HO treatment promoted the early ripening of Kyoho berry by affecting the expression levels of HSP, GDSL, XTH, and CAB1 and- photosynthesis- pathways.

Plant-derived biostimulants have gained attention in agricultural practices for their potential to enhance crop quality and resilience. In this study, we investigated the effects of applying a maize gluten-derived protein hydrolysate at the soil level in vineyards on berry quality in a table grape variety, the Black Magic early table grapevine, during veraison. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in various parameters 14 days after application, including increased anthocyanin levels, enhanced sugar accumulation, and larger berry diameter while maintaining berry firmness.

Low temperature is the main strategy to preserve fruit quality post-harvest, in the supply chain. Low temperatures reduce the respiration, ethylene emission, and enzymatic activities associated with senescence. Unfortunately, peaches are sensitive to low temperatures if exposed for long periods, resulting in physiological disorders that can compromise commercial quality.

A rapid and non-invasive mass spectrometry-based electronic nose (MS-eNose) method, combined with chemometric analysis, was developed for the early detection of Aspergillus westerdijkiae on caciocavallo cheeses during ripening process. MS-eNose analyses were carried out on caciocavallo inoculated with ochratoxin A (OTA) non-producing species and artificially contaminated with A. westerdijkiae, an OTA producing species.

Sweet orange () is an economically important fruit crop worldwide. Mining for genes associated with ripening periods and fruit color traits is crucial for plant genetics and for the improvement of external fruit quality traits. The present study identified a novel navel orange accession, designated as Ganhong, with early ripening and deep red fruit traits.

Forage-grain ratoon rice (FG-RR) systems, integrating grain and forage production, promise a sustainable approach to enhance food security and livestock development in marginal regions where ratoon rice (T-RR) is traditionally cultivated. Here, we quantified zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd) concentrations in ratoon crop grains from 23 rice varieties at four mowing stages (heading, milk-ripening, dry-ripening, and full maturity) of the main crop. Early mowing at the milk-ripening stage significantly reduced As levels (16.
