Genotypic and environmental effects on the level of ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds and related gene expression during pineapple fruit development and ripening.

Abstract excerpt

Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is a non-climacteric tropical fruit whose ripening could be accompanied by oxidative processes and the concurrent activation of enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging systems. To better understand the variability of these processes among climatic environments or genotypes in pineapple, the temporal expression dynamics for genes encoding oxidative...
