TL;DR: This study de novo sequenced and comprehensively studied the genomes of four representative citrus species and found a miniature inverted-repeat transposable element insertion in the promoter region of CitRWP that cosegregated with polyembryony.

TL;DR: This study provides a broad picture of differential accumulation of proteins and metabolites in postharvest citrus fruit, and gives new insights into HT improved fruit disease resistance during subsequent storage of ‘Kamei’ Satsuma mandarin.

TL;DR: Global transcriptome analysis of transgenic sepals revealed that CsMADS6 regulates a series of pathways that promote increases in flux through the carotenoid pathway, which may provide strategies to improve the nutritional quality of crops.

TL;DR: Concrete genetic evidence is provided for the geographical origin of extant wild mandarin populations and sheds light on the domestication and evolutionary history of mandarin.

TL;DR: An R2R3-MYB transcriptional factor that directly regulates the transformation of α- and β-branch carotenoids was identified using Green Ougan (MT), a stay-green mutant of Citrus reticulata cv Suavissima and electrophoretic mobility shift assays and dual luciferase assays indicated that CrMYB68 can directly and negatively regulate CrBCH2 and CrNCED5.
