Microscopic Analyses of Fruit Cell Plastid Development in Loquat (<i>Eriobotrya japonica</i>) during Fruit Ripening

Microscopic Analyses of Fruit Cell Plastid Development in Loquat (<i>Eriobotrya japonica</i>) during Fruit Ripening

Plastids are sites for carotenoid biosynthesis and accumulation, but detailed information on fruit plastid development and its relation to carotenoid accumulation remains largely unclear. Here, using Baisha (BS; white-fleshed) and Luoyangqing (LYQ; red-fleshed) loquat (<i>Eriobotrya japonica&l...
