Research Focus

The article “Changes in the expression of genes encoding xanthophyll acyltransferases during the postharvest ripening of avocado (Persea americana) fruit” was published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture on March 9, 2024. The contributors to this article are Elhadi-M Yahia, Miguel-Angel Hernández-Oñate, Angel-Javier Ojeda-Contreras, Jorge Mercado-Ruiz, Larissa Cordero-Chávez, Eduardo-Antonio Trillo-Hernández, and Martín-Ernesto Tiznado-Hernández. The article focuses on the expression analysis of genes encoding xanthophyll acyltransferases during the postharvest ripening of avocado fruit. Xanthophyll acyltransferases are enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids, which are important pigments responsible for the coloration of fruits and vegetables. The study aims to understand how the expression of these genes changes during the ripening process of avocado fruit, which could have implications for the development of postharvest handling strategies to maintain fruit quality.
