The Phenylpropanoid Pathway Is a Central Roundabout in Peach Fruit Pre- and Postharvest Physiology
These findings indicate that modulating quinate metabolism during early ripening may help improve chilling tolerance and highlight the phenylpropanoid pathway as a central metabolic axis modulated by both pre- and postharvest practices, with implications for fruit quality management.
