Abstract excerpt
Malate accumulation in the vacuole largely determines apple (Malus domestica) fruit acidity, and low fruit acidity is strongly associated with truncation of Ma1, an ortholog of ALUMINUM-ACTIVATED MALATE TRANSPORTER9 (ALMT9) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). A mutation at base 1,455 in the open reading frame of Ma1 leads to a premature stop codon that truncates the protein by 84 amino acids at its C-terminal...
