This study identifies the Wf gene in melon as a homologue of RPGE microproteins that regulates chloroplast differentiation in fruit flesh by interacting with APRR2.

The paper estimates the almond genome size and assembly, identifies transposable elements (TEs) as key drivers of divergence between almond and peach genomes, and highlights TE insertions affecting gene expression in traits like kernel taste and mesocarp formation.

The fruitENCODE project identifies three evolutionary origins of regulatory circuits governing climacteric fruit ripening through comparative genomics and epigenetics.
