Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ripening of climacteric fruits is characterized by a rise in respiration and concomitant burst of ethylene biosynthesis. While this general pattern is shared among climacteric fruits, there are a few exceptions. European pears (Pyrus communis) require a genetically pre-determined amount of cold exposure, called conditioning, to transition from System 1 (S1) to System 2 (S2) ethylene biosynthesis. Recent research from the lab has implicated pre-climacteric alternative oxidase activity in this transition. In addition to the need for cold exposure, European pear cultivars exhibit variability in response to ethylene receptor antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Unlike apples and other climacteric fruits, pears do not regain their ripening capacity following 1-MCP treatment despite the conditioning treatment. A chemical genomics study aimed at activating alternative oxidase in 1-MCP treated pears identified glyoxylic acid for its ability to override the metabolic blockage of ethylene biosynthesis caused by 1-MCP.This dissertation characterizes a natural variation in climacteric ripening represented by European pear, by (1) Summarizing and distilling published information regarding the role of respiration in climacteric fruit. Many of the physiological and phenotypic changes that occur during ripening are attributed to ethylene, however the molecular and metabolic crosstalk between autocatalytic ethylene production and respiration are less understood. Results of recent work implicate the alternative oxidase (AOX) respiratory pathway in crosstalk between ethylene, respiration, and other ripening-associated processes; (2) Conducting comparative physiological and transcriptomics analyses of two pear genotypes that require different durations of cold temperature exposure in order to ripen. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that cold temperature conditioning leads to heightened expression of vernalization-associated genes, homologs of which are necessary for other cold-dependent processes like seed germination and flowering. These genes may serve as regulatory points in the initiation of ripening in fruit that require cold conditioning; (3) Assessing the impact of glyoxylic acid in chemical induction of ripening in 1-MCP treated 'D'Anjou' pear fruit using physiological and transcriptomics approaches. Results demonstrate that glyoxylic acid effectively elicits physiological responses as well as significant changes in global gene expression, including that of AOX, in 1-MCP treated pear fruit that would be otherwise incapable of ripening normally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marking the change in focus of tree genomics from single species to comparative approaches, this book covers biological, genomic, and evolutionary aspects of angiosperm trees that provide information and perspectives to support researchers broadening the focus of their research. The diversity of angiosperm trees in morphology, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry has been described and cataloged by various scientific disciplines, but the molecular, genetic, and evolutionary mechanisms underlying this diversity have only recently been explored. Excitingly, advances in genomic and sequencing technologies are ushering a new era of research broadly termed comparative genomics, which simultaneously exploits and describes the evolutionary origins and genetic regulation of traits of interest. Within tree genomics, this research is already underway, as the number of complete genome sequences available for angiosperm trees is increasing at an impressive pace and the number of species for which RNAseq data are available is rapidly expanding. Because they are extensively covered by other literature and are rapidly changing, technical and computational approaches—such as the latest sequencing technologies—are not a main focus of this book. Instead, this comprehensive volume provides a valuable, broader view of tree genomics whose relevance will outlive the particulars of current-day technical approaches. The first section of the book discusses background on the evolution and diversification of angiosperm trees, as well as offers description of the salient features and diversity of the unique physiology and wood anatomy of angiosperm trees. The second section explores the two most advanced model angiosperm tree species (poplars and eucalypts) as well as species that are soon to emerge as new models. The third section describes the structural features and evolutionary histories of angiosperm tree genomes, followed by a fourth section focusing on the genomics of traits of biological, ecological, and economic interest. In summary, this book is a timely and well-referenced foundational resource for the forest tree community looking to embrace comparative approaches for the study of angiosperm trees.

Book excerpt: Addressing the pear genome, this book covers the current state of knowledge regarding genetic and genomic resources, breeding approaches and strategies, as well as cutting-edge content on how these tools and resources are being / soon will be utilized to pursue genetic improvement efforts that will combine fruit quality, high productivity, precocious fruit bearing, and long postharvest storage life, along with elevated levels of resistance to various major diseases and insect pests. Throughout, the book also explores potential opportunities and challenges in genomic analysis, sequence assembly, structural features, as well as functional studies that will assist in future genetic improvement efforts for pears. The pear (Pyrus), an important tree fruit crop, is grown worldwide, and has several economically relevant cultivars. In recent years, modern genetic and genomic tools have resulted in the development of a wide variety of valuable resources for the pear. In the past few years, completion of whole genome assemblies of ‘Dangshansuli’, an Asian pear, and ‘Bartlett’, a European pear, have paved the way for new discoveries regarding for example, the pear’s genomic structure, chromosome evolution, and patterns of genetic variation. This wealth of new resources will have a major impact on our knowledge of the pear genome; in turn, these resources and knowledge will have significant impacts on future genetic improvement efforts.
