Characterization of morphological and chemical changes using atomic force microscopy and metabolism assays: the relationship between surface wax and skin greasiness in apple fruit
Our findings suggest that the increased liquid esters contribute to alternations in wax morphology in greasy apples, and that <i>MdFAD2, MdWSD1</i>, and <i>MdWBC11</i>, play crucial roles in ester biosynthesis. These results highlight the effectiveness of AFM roughness parameters Ra, Rq, Rmax, and Rz in quantifying wax morphology changes in apples during skin greasiness development.
