The project aims to identify genetic factors that influence vitamin C levels in apples, enhancing their nutritional quality. By understanding these mechanisms, it seeks to develop apple varieties with higher vitamin C content, benefiting both health and the agricultural industry.
To date, fruit-breeding programmes have mostly focused on easily identifiable phenotypic characteristics such as fruit colour or size.
However, the availability of high-throughput analytical and molecular methodologies now allows us to pursue more challenging quality traits such as nutritional contents and an increase in vitamin C concentrations.
The main goal of this proposal is to identify the genetic and molecular factors that control vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid, AsA) accumulation in apple fru…
