Fruit ripening is an irreversible process that leads to the alteration of the physicochemical characteristics to produce an edible of desired quality. However, excessive softening during ripening poses a challenge in the transportability and marketability of this economically important fruit crop. Although studies have carried out the RNA-Seq analysis on mango during ripening, there is no report yet utilizing mangoes grown in the Southeast Asia (a large producer of mango), hence this study. The results provide important insights that will be useful in future strategies to improve mango fruit quality
In this study, a transcriptomic analysis of mango (Mangifera indica L.) mesocarp cv. "Kent" was done to identify key genes associated with fruit ripening.
In this study, we characterized the mode of action of Phe application on the increased resistance of mango fruit against C. gloeosporioides by monitoring the biochemical, transcriptomic and metabolomic changes.
