Vacuolar processing enzymes (VPEs) have received considerable attention due to their caspase-1-like activity and ability to regulate programmed cell death (PCD), which plays an essential role in the development of stenospermocarpic seedless grapes ovules. To characterize VPEs and the relationship between stenospermocarpic grapes and the VPE gene family, we identified 3 Vitis vinifera VPE genes ...

Berry texture and berry skin mechanical properties are traits with high agronomic relevance because they related to quality parameters marketing requirements of wine, table, raisin grapes. Searching for QTLs linked texture, an F1 population 152 individuals their parents were used in this study. These plants obtained crossing Raboso Veronese, a seeded black wine grape cultivar, Sultanina, seedle...

Researchers in New Zealand have cloned and characterized a gene which, when disrupted, allows apples to develop without seeds. This highly prized trait, fully developed in only a handful of other fruits, has proved a big bonus for growers and consumers alike. What's more, in apples the phenotype might offer other potential advantages for growers of this often difficult crop. Thousands of apple ...

Pistacia Šera ‘Kerman’ (pistachio nut) typically produces high numbers of seedless or blank fruits. Patterns of vascular transport into fruits and ovules were studied over 3 years by following the movement of disodium fluorescein solution from cut branches into developing fruitlets. Early in the season, vascular conductivity is intact through to the chalazal end of the ovule. Soon afterwards, t...

seedlessness is the most important trait in table grape and raisin industry which has attracted breeders from long ago. breeding grapes by traditional methods result in low number of seedless progenies and their selection requires long time. therefore, marker-assisted selection (mas) can overcome the selection difficulty and would decrease high cost of progeny maintenance for several years. in ...
