A researcher from The University of Queensland has conducted the world’s first pineapple microarray to gain a better understanding of tropical fruit development at the molecular level.
“This is the first large-scale gene expression study that has identified numerous genes involved in pineapple ripening and other important processes such as redox activity and organic acid metabolis,” Dr Koia said.
“In addition, my research also identified genes conferring nutritional and health benefits, such as those involved in anti-oxidant, glutathione and vitamin C production.”
