Hyperacidification of Citrus fruits by a vacuolar proton-pumping P-ATPase complex
The sour taste of citrus fruit results from the extremely low pH of juice vesicle cell vacuoles. Here the authors provide genetic evidence that a vacuolar P-type ATPase, that is known to determine flower color in petunia via vacuolar acidification, is also responsible for extreme acidification in ci...
