Genome-wide analysis of the PME gene family reveals its role in suppressing fruit lignification in pear

Abstract In pears, the presence of stone cells adversely affects fruit quality. Pectin methylesterase (PME) plays various roles in plant biology, including lignin biosynthesis. However, only a limited fraction has been functionally characterized, and the distribution and function of PME in many Rosa...
