Application of proteomics to determine the mechanism of ozone on sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) by time-series analysis

Abstract

This research investigated the mechanism of ozone treatment on sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) by Lable-free quantification proteomics and physiological traits. The results showed that 4557 master proteins were identified in all the samples, and 3149 proteins were common to all groups. Mfuzz analyses revealed 3149 candidate proteins. KEGG annotation and enrichment analysis showed proteins related to carbohydrate and energy metabolism, protein, amino acids, and nucleotide sugar biosynthesis and degradation, and fruit parameters were characterized and quantified. The conclusions were supported by the fact that the qRT-PCR results agreed with the proteomics results. For the first time, this study reveals the mechanism of cherry in response to ozone treatment at a proteome level.

Occurrence and Characterization of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Causing Fruit Rot on Sweet Cherry in Southern China

“…The annual global production reached ~2.7 million tons in 2021 based on the data from the FAOSTAT database (fao.org/faostat). Sweet cherry was introduced to China in the 1870s and is mainly planted in the regions surrounding Bohai Bay [ 4 , 5 ]. Since its cultivation became widespread in China in the 1990s, the total harvested area has reached 8558 ha, with an annual production of 36,746.49 tons so far (FAOSTAT, 2021).…”
