Natural regulatory variations of MdIAA14b links auxin signalling to fruit cell density and firmness in apple.

Fruit firmness is a major determinant of apple quality and shelf life. It is known to be regulated by ethylene signalling, however, the function of auxin in it is not known. Here, we identified MdIAA14b, an auxin-responsive gene, as a key regulator of apple fruit firmness. MdIAA14b showed allele-specific expression (AS...

Cis-regulatory variation in the MdCKX6 promoter is associated with allele-specific expression and fruit size in apple.

This study provides new insights into the role of cytokinin metabolism in fruit development and highlights regulatory variation in MdCKX6 as a potential target for apple breeding.
