Transcriptome changes associated with boron applications in pear fruit

To uncover the mechanisms underlying pear fruit response to boron application, a comprehensive transcriptome analysis was performed. Boron application significantly induced expression of sorbitol metabolism and sucrose metabolism genes.Boron application also increased the expression of starch degradation, fatty acid synthesis, IAA degradation, GA synthesis and inhibit the expression of ethylene synthesis gene. mRNA sequencing of pear fruit with boron application
