- Abstract
Fruit development and softening play pivotal roles in determining fruit quality and post-harvest shelf life in Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra). However, the specific role of beta (β)-galactosidase, particularly β-galactosidase of M. rubra (MrBGAL), in facilitating fruit softening remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to address this gap by investigating the involvement of MrBGALs genes in fruit softening. We identified all 15 MrBGALs and conducted a comprehensive analysis, including phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, protein motifs, co-linearity, and expression patterns. Using phylogenetic analysis, we classified all MrBGALs into five distinct groups. Additionally, cis-element prediction and comparative genome analysis provided insightful clues about the functionality of MrBGALs. Transcriptome data revealed unique expression patterns of MrBGALs throughout various fruit development stages. These findings introduce valuable candidate genes that can contribute to unraveling the functions and molecular mechanisms governing fruit development and softening in Chinese bayberry.
