Insights into the mechanism and expression profiling of genes linked to pericarp browning and its management in litchi Litchi chinensis Sonn

Abstract

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a non-climacteric subtropical fruit of high commercial value in domestic and international markets. However, rapid browning of the pericarp is the major concern for the growers, since there is high financial loss. Keeping this in view, the present study entitled Insights into the mechanism and expression profiling of genes linked to pericarp browning and its management in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) was conducted in the Department of Horticulture (Fruit and Fruit Technology) Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar on three cultivars namely Deshi, Purbi and Kasba. newline
