Genome-wide identification of CCD gene family in Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) and expression analysis with aroma norisoprenoids
A total of 10 PpCCD genes were identified in peach, among which PpCCD4 was identified as a key gene for the biosynthesis of norisoprenoids. Its expression was higher in white-fleshed peaches and correlated with norisoprenoid levels. PpCCD4 expression was also induced by cold and MeJA treatment, indicating its involvement in stress responses. These findings suggest PpCCD4 is a potential target for improving peach fruit aroma quality.
