Peach RNA viromes in six different peach cultivars

Peach (Prunus persica) endopolygalacturonase cDNA isolation and mRNA analysis in melting and nonmelting peach cultivars.

Two distinct partial cDNAs, PRF1 and PRF3, similar in sequence to previously described polygalacturonases, were amplified from ripe peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch cv Flavorcrest) fruit cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction. PRF1-related RNA was present in fruit from early ripening at levels not detected by northern analysis. PRF3-related RNA was readily detectable in ripe fruit by northern ana...

Phony Peach and Peach Mosaic

Nematodes attacking cultivars of peach in north Carolina.

Criconemoides xenoplax and Meloidogyne incognita were the nematode species most frequently associated with peach in North Carolina. Other nematodes often found in high numbers on that crop were Pratylenehus vulnus, Helicotylenchus spp., Trichodorus christiei, Xiphinema amerieanum and Tylenchorhynchus claytoni. P. vulnus and P. penetrans reproduced well on rootstocks of 21 peach cultivars tested...

De novo transcriptome assembly of two different peach cultivars grown in Korea.

Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most popular stone fruits worldwide. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has facilitated genome and transcriptome analyses of several stone fruit trees. In this study, we conducted de novo transcriptome analyses of two peach cultivars grown in Korea. Leaves of two cultivars, referred to as Jangtaek and Mibaek, were harvested and used for library preparation. Th...

Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Different Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] Cultivars in China

China is an important centre of diversity for Prunus persica. In the present study, 17 Chinese peach cultivars were evaluated for phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Neochlorogenic acid (NCHA), chlorogenic acid (CHA), procyanidin B1 (B1), catechin (CAT), cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), quercetin-3-O-galactoside (Q3GAL), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (Q3GLU), quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (Q3R), and k...
