QTL and candidate gene mapping for polyphenolic composition in apple fruit.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Superficial scald is a physiological disorder of apple fruit characterized by sunken, necrotic lesions appearing after prolonged cold storage, although initial injury occurs much earlier in the storage period. To determine the degree to which the transition to cell death is an active process and specific met...
