Although the ripening process of climacteric fruits is well-characterized, the regulatory mechanisms underlying ripening in non-climacteric fruits, such as sweet cherry, remain poorly understood. In this study, we present an extensive physiological, biochemical and transcriptomic analysis of pedicel and fruit tissues across 8 developmental stages in the late-maturing sweet cherry cultivar “Regina,” providing a comprehensive map of tissue-specific gene expression dynamics during fruit ripening. Our data reveal widespread transcriptomic and metabolomic reprogramming, particularly in sugar metabolism within the pedicel, suggesting that cherry ripening may be partially regulated by pedicel-derived signals. Through integrative analysis, we identified key transcription factors (TFs), most notably PaWRKY57 and PaNAC29, as putative regulators of fruit development. Silencing the genes encoding these TFs at the color breaking stage in both the “Regina” and early-maturing “Carmen” cultivars resulted in delayed pigmentation and reduced fruit size. Subsequent transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of silenced fruit revealed several candidate downstream targets and regulatory networks specifically linked to anthocyanin biosynthesis. Levels of central metabolic components and major anthocyanins, particularly cyanidin glucoside and cyanidin rutinoside, were reduced alongside altered abscisic acid (ABA) levels following PaWRKY57 and PaNAC29 silencing. Furthermore, we demonstrate that PaWRKY57 and PaNAC29 interact with the promoter regions of dihydroflavonol4-reductase (PaDFR) and leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase (PaLDOX), regulating flavonoid biosynthesis. Notably, PaNAC29 also binds to the promoters of PACLOBUTRAZOL RESISTANCE 6 (PaPRE6) and linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase 5 (PaLOX5), influencing the biosynthesis of ABA and aroma-related volatile compounds. This work provides insights into tissue-specific regulatory dynamics in sweet cherry, establishes a framework for non-climacteric fruit ripening, and identifies promising targets for improving cherry yield and fruit quality. - Silicon-induced tissue-specific reprogramming of the ripening transition in kiwifruit

Silicon is recognized for its protective role under (a)biotic stress, yet its influence on fruit ripening remains largely unexplored. Here, ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit was used as a model to investigate the effects of external Si application on placenta and pericarp ripening. Silicon predominantly accumulated in placenta and pedicel junction, resulting in delayed ripening. This delay was associated with altered ethylene signaling, particularly via modulation of AP2/ERF transcription factors, and modifications in cell wall structure, including increased arabinogalactan proteins and altered homogalacturonan methyl-esterification. Also, silicon induced tissue-specific metabolic shifts, notably in sugars, organic acids, and polyphenolic biosynthesis, including the anthocyanin–proanthocyanidin branch point. Extensive transcriptomic reprogramming following silicon application, especially in placenta, highlighted its key role in early silicon responses. Proteins such as lipoxygenase, 60S ribosomal protein L28 and carboxypeptidases were commonly regulated in both pericarp and placenta during late cold storage, suggesting roles in ripening initiation. Proteogenomic integration identified conserved elements, like 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase, and highlighted post-transcriptional regulation under cold storage. Comparison with calcium-treatment data revealed partially overlapping silicon–calcium responses, including ethylene suppression and structural remodeling. These findings establish silicon as a novel regulator of kiwifruit ripening and provide a valuable resource for exploring its role in kiwifruit and other fruits. • Silicon delays kiwifruit ripening via accumulation in placenta and pedicel junction. • Silicon modulates ethylene signaling, cell wall structure and inhibits softening. • Silicon triggers tissue-specific changes in sugars, acids and polyphenols. • Proteogenomics identifies silicon-associated postharvest kiwifruit responses. • Silicon shares responses with calcium, indicating overlapping ripening pathways. - Primed acclimation of two Greek olive cultivars to water deficit

Water scarcity, intensified by climate change, threatens olive cultivation in the Mediterranean region. Understanding cultivar responses to drought is key to developing strategies to sustain this vital crop. Ιn the present work, we studied the responses of two Greek olive cultivars, "Lefkolia Serron" and "Chondrolia Chalkidikis", to water limitation and we evaluated their ability to acclimatize through cis long term-priming, using a combination of morpho-physiological parameters, primary metabolite profiling and gene expression analysis of drought-related genes. Our findings indicated that the two cultivars follow different strategies to cope with water shortage and priming. Particularly, "Lefkolia Serron" showed a more conservative response, maintaining greater photosynthetic functionality, intrinsic Water Use Efficiency (iWUE) and antioxidant activity upon stress re-exposure. "Chondrolia Chalkidikis" showed greater susceptibility to stress with more pronounced changes at the morpho-physiological, metabolic and gene expression levels. Metabolomic data demonstrated shifts in energy metabolism in response to the drought cycles, while principal component analysis of gene expression patterns showed that drought priming can regulate transcriptional processes, such that drought priming aligned primed plants with controls. Pre-exposure to drought induces a form of transcriptional memory, making the plant more efficient in responding to repeated stress. These findings suggest that long-term drought priming may function as a coping strategy for stressful environmental conditions, however, it is genotype-dependent, as the outcomes vary with genetic background. Understanding olive stress responses and applying eco-friendly strategies like drought priming is a sustainable way to protect this crop from environmental threats. - Uncovering the hidden dynamics of pollination in kiwifruit maturity and ripening

Artificial pollination has gained increasing attention in kiwifruit cultivation; however, how different pollination methods influence fruit maturity and ripening remains poorly understood. To address this, the physiological, metabolomic, proteomic and gene expression impact of pollination methods (artificial versus open-field pollination) on the pericarp, placenta and seed tissue of Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa A. Chev. ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit at maturity harvest and during postharvest ripening following short and long cold storage was investigated. Artificial pollination enhanced fruit set and seed number, resulting in increased fruit size and weight at harvest compared to open-field pollination, supporting its role in improving kiwifruit yield. Metabolomic analysis revealed that carbon is primarily redirected from sugar synthesis toward organic acid production in artificially pollinated fruit. Tissue-specific proteomic analysis indicated that artificial pollination alters plant growth regulator dynamics and induce extensive stress-associated responses. Moreover, artificial pollination accelerated kiwifruit ripening as evidenced by increased ethylene production and faster fruit softening. These changes were accompanied by altered expression of genes and proteins involved in ethylene signaling and cell wall structure, potentially reducing postharvest longevity. Additionally, artificial pollination decreased key esters and increased aldehydes, thus altering aroma volatile profiles. It also reduced the levels of important polyphenols, particularly catechin, epicatechin and procyanidin B2, which aligned with observed changes in gene expression. These findings highlight a critical trade-off: while artificial pollination enhances yield, it also modulates physiological processes that may compromise postharvest fruit quality. Overall, this study provides new insights into how pollination influences kiwifruit maturity and ripening, supporting pollination-based strategies to enhance both fruit yield and quality. • Artificial pollination enhanced fruit set, size, weight and dry matter. • Sugars were reduced and acids increased due to artificial pollination. • Postharvest ripening was accelerated in artificially pollinated kiwifruit. • Artificial pollination has tissue-specific effects on aroma and flavor metabolism. • Various polyphenols decreased in artificially pollinated kiwifruit tissues. - Transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of on-tree fruit maturation in the white, melting-flesh peach cultivar ‘Lemonato’

The impact of different maturity levels of peaches on fruit quality, metabolic pattern and transcriptomic alternation was studied. To achieve this, ‘Lemonato’ peaches were sampled at commercial harvest time and then were separated based on their peel ground color into immature (light green exocarp), semi-mature (partly yellow exocarp) and mature (entirely yellow exocarp). Data indicated that several key maturity parameters, such as color index, fruit firmness, chlorophyll content, dry matter, total phenol content and antioxidant activity were notably induced by the maturity transition. Consistent with this observation, increased levels of phenolic compounds, including catechin, epicatechin, procyanidin B1/B2/B4 and chlorogenic acid, were identified at the last maturity stage. Mature fruit was also characterized by an elevated abundance of various primary metabolites (e.g. sorbitol, arabinose, xylose) and decreased levels of main organic acids and putrescine. Genes predominantly associated with flavonoid biosynthesis, calcium signaling, cell wall integrity, auxin metabolism, and aquaporins and chloroplast function were remarkably affected by maturity. Several genes were also identified (e.g. EXORDIUM, PCC13-62 and SDI1), including transcription factors, such as IBH1, homeobox ATHB-13 and bHLH63, undergoing major changes during fruit maturation. These results enhance understanding of on-tree metabolic and transcriptomic events that coordinate peach fruit maturation, helping to identify the optimal harvest time for best peach fruit quality.

Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation delays fruit ripening, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated tissue-specific responses of peach fruit (Prunus persica L. Batsch) to UV-C by analyzing the peel and flesh separately. UV-C treatment altered central metabolism, promoted anthocyanin accumulation and coloration, and delayed ripening, as evidenced by reduced fruit softening and water loss. However, UV-C enhanced ethylene production and upregulated ethylene-related genes, indicating a reconfiguration of the ethylene response. Among UV-C-responsive genes, the APETALA2/Ethylene Response Factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factor family was most affected, with Ethylene Response Factor 1A (ERF1A) showing the strongest induction in the treated peel, suggesting its role as a key integrator of the UV-C-induced ripening delay. UV-C increased the levels of DNA 5-methylcytosine and RNA N6-methyladenosine in the peel, without altering cytosine methylation or causing mutations in ERF1A. Silencing ERF1A via RNA interference confirmed that it regulates ethylene production, softening, and ripening-associated metabolites. Immunolocalization revealed changes in the cell wall components of ERF1A-silenced fruit, including arabinogalactan, pectin, and xyloglucan. ERF1A-silenced peels exhibited elevated auxin and salicylic acid levels and reduced abscisic acid content. Additionally, ERF1A suppression altered the biosynthesis of sugars, phenolic compounds, and volatiles. We found extensive proteome reprogramming in ERF1A-silenced peels and identified putative ERF1A target genes that either contain ERF1A-binding sites or are associated with firmness, ethylene signaling, phytohormone metabolism, and color. Notably, Carboxylesterase 11 (PpCXE11), Carboxylesterase 13 (PpCXE13), and Salicylic acid-binding protein 2 (PpSABP2) emerged as potential ERF1A targets. These findings identify ERF1A as a central regulator mediating UV-C-induced ripening delay through modulation of ethylene signaling and downstream ripening pathways. - Cover Crops for Carbon Mitigation and Biodiversity Enhancement: A Case Study of an Olive Grove in Messinia, Greece

Land desertification is becoming increasingly significant for the Mediterranean basin, particularly due to the rising pressures on agricultural land. Regarding the olive grove sector, intensive farming methods can have detrimental effects on the provision of various agroecosystem services. Conversely, agroecological approaches, such as reduced tillage/no tillage and the use of cover crops, can help mitigate soil degradation and enhance soil arthropod biodiversity. Herein, an experiment was conducted in a hilly olive grove in southern Peloponnese, a key olive production area in Greece. Different soil treatments were implemented across nine plots (three plots per treatment), including the following: (i) the use of a cover crop mixture (Pisum sativum, Vicia faba, Hordeum vulgare), (ii) herbicide application, and (iii) spontaneous vegetation (control). A comprehensive survey was performed at the plot level for monitoring carbon sequestration and ground-dwelling arthropod diversity. The results indicated that cover crops had a positive impact on soil fertility and structure, leading to an increase in total biomass production per plot, while also contributing to the preservation of key soil arthropod populations when compared to treatments that resulted in bare soil. The findings from this in situ study are meant to be integrated into the frames of a long-term monitoring process in order to be used for climate change mitigation and biodiversity management models, enhancing the resilience and regeneration of degraded land. - Citrus Greek National Germplasm Collection: a genetic diversity survey using nuclear and chloroplast microsatellite markers
