Malate accumulation and transcriptome patterns during fruit development in sweet Cherry (Prunus avium L.)
Our findings establish a comprehensive phenotyping framework for systematic acidity classification in sweet cherry, while elucidating the core genetic regulatory network governing malate accumulation. These mechanistic insights provide a robust scientific foundation for precision breeding strategies aimed at optimizing fruit quality through targeted modulation of acidity profiles.
