Fruit development in flowering plants is orchestrated by a finely tuned network of hormonal signals, transcriptional regulators and cellular growth programmes. Following pollination and fertilisation, ...

Organic acids such as malate and citrate are central to fruit growth, maturation and quality. Early in development, high rates of organic acid synthesis in the tricarboxylic acid cycle supply ...

A pivotal study has provided unprecedented insights into the genetic architecture of sweet oranges, highlighting the critical role of somatic mutations in shaping fruit development. By constructing a ...
