| Abstract | Expression of MADS-box regulatory genes involved in peach fruit development was examined in split-pit sensitive and tolerant varieties, as well as, after common treatments in peach cultivation practice. Expression of FRUITFUL that is required for the expansion and differentiation of the fruit after fertilization in Arabidopsis displayed a similar pattern in both plants. SHATERPROOF that is required for the differentiation and lignification of the dehiscence zone in Arabidopsis was not detectable in peach, indicating either that another homologous gene may be expressed or that more sensitive methods are needed for assessment of its expression. Further experiments are underway to unravel peach fruit development and the cause of split-pit that deteriorates fruit quality. |
