Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations may alter important traits in tree fruits, such as fruit color, size and maturation date. Autumn Gala (AGala), a somatic mutation from apple cultivar Gala, matures 4 weeks later than Gala. To understand the mechanisms underlying the delayed maturation, RNA-seq analyses were conducted with fruit sampled at 13 (Gala) and 16 (AGala) time-points during their growth and development. Weighted gene...
