CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the polygalacturonase<i>FaPG1</i>gene improves strawberry fruit firmness Open
Firmness is one of the most important fruit quality traits in strawberries. The postharvest shelf life of this soft fruit is highly limited by the loss of firmness, where cell wall disassembly plays an important role. Previous studies demo…

High-throughput mapping of cell wall glycans to unveil cell wall disassembly, a key process determining strawberry fruit softening Open
The short shelf life of strawberry fruit is a major limitation that produces important economic losses related to postharvest spoiling. Fruit texture of fleshy fruits is a complex trait but mainly rely on mechanical properties of parenchym…

Elucidating the role of polygalacturonase genes in strawberry fruit softening Open
To disentangle the role of polygalacturonase (PG) genes in strawberry softening, the two PG genes most expressed in ripe receptacles, FaPG1 and FaPG2, were down-regulated. Transgenic ripe fruits were firmer than those of the wild type when…

Downregulation of NAC transcription factors modifies cell wall composition and increases strawberry fruit firmness Open
The strawberry is a soft fruit with a very short post-harvest shelf life. The changes in texture during fruit ripening are mainly due to the dissolution of the middle lamellae, reducing cell-to-cell adhesion, and the weakening of parenchym…

Elicitors and defense gene induction in plants with altered lignin compositions Open
Summary A reduction in the lignin content in transgenic plants induces the ectopic expression of defense genes, but the importance of altered lignin composition in such phenomena remains unclear. Two Arabidopsis lines with similar lignin c…
