Stone formation in peach fruit exhibits spatial coordination of the lignin and flavonoid pathways and similarity to Arabidopsis dehiscence
Abstract Background Lignification of the fruit endocarp layer occurs in many angiosperms and plays a critical role in seed protection and dispersal.This process has been extensively studied with relationship to pod shatter or dehiscence in Arabidopsis.Dehiscence is controlled by a set of transcription factors that define the fruit tissue layers and
