Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • A 5.2-kb insertion in the coding sequence of PavSCPL, a serine carboxypeptidase-like enhances fruit firmness in Prunus avium.
  • Identified a candidate gene, PavSCPL, encoding a serine carboxypeptidase-like protein with natural allelic variation, that controls fruit firmness in sweet cherry using map-based cloning and functionally characterized PavSCPL during sweet cherry fruit softening.
  • Virus-induced gene silencing of PavSCPL enhanced fruit firmness and suppressed the activities of certain pectin-degrading enzymes in the fruit.
  • PavSCPL, encoding a serine carboxypeptidase-like protein, is the candidate gene for fruit firmness.
