A MYB–WRKY feedback module activates MdAAT2‑like to regulate aromatic ester biosynthesis during apple ripening

Abstract Aromatic esters are key determinants of apple fruit aroma and consumer preference. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying ester biosynthesis by characterizing MdAAT2-like , a critical ester-synthesizing gene in apple. MdAAT2-like expressions were signi...
