Postharvest properties of ultra-late maturing peach cultivars and their attributions to Melting Flesh (M) locus: Re-evaluation of M locus in association with flesh texture
R. Nakano, T. Kawai, Y. Fukamatsu…·K. Ushijima
This study re-evaluates the Melting Flesh (M) locus in peaches by analyzing two ultra-late maturing cultivars, showing that the non-softening trait in one is due to deletion of endoPG genes, while the other has an unidentified M haplotype associated with melting flesh.
