TL;DR: The use of the manual annotation tool WebApollo facilitated manual checking and correction of gene models enabling improvement of computational prediction, especially relevant for certain types of gene families such as the EXPANSIN like genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fruit From Two Kiwifruit Genotypes With Contrasting Softening Rates Show Differences in the Xyloglucan and Pectin Domains of the Cell Wall.

TL;DR: Fundamental differences in the cell wall structure are likely to influence the rates of softening through differential modification and accessibility of specific cell wall polysaccharides during ripening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell wall changes in Actinidia arguta during softening

TL;DR: Actinidia arguta fruit, differing from conventional kiwifruit A. chinensis ‘Hort16A’ and ‘Hayward’ by size, skin appearance, softening rate and texture, were characterised regarding structural and cell wall changes during softening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retardation of ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit tissue zone softening during storage by 1-methylcyclopropene

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on kiwifruit firmness, and concluded that 1-mCP retards the overall softening.
