🍎Valsa mali poses a major threat to #apple production, while its close relative, V. pyri, is much less virulent.
🍏He et al. uncover the #molecular basis behind the difference and identify a potential target for AVC control. https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.70352

Researchers determine chloroplast size unlikely option for improving photosynthetic efficiency

A group of researchers have found, for the first time, that chloroplast size manipulations are unlikely to be an option for increasing crop photosynthetic efficiency.

Xu et al. report that #sorbitol, an important signaling molecule in #fruit #trees, induces #flower bud formation in #loquat and promotes the accumulation of hyperoside, an important #developmental #flavonoid.
