    • Change in sugar levels and related gene expression during bilberry fruit development and ripening 

      Dhakal, Binita (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-15)
      Vaccinium myrtillus L., commonly known as European blueberry or bilberry, has been used as food and medicine since ancient times. Bilberries are highly valued in European and Asian markets. Sugar accumulation is responsible for the sweet taste of fruit, which is one of the main determinants of fruit quality. However, sugar metabolism in bilberry has not been studied before. This study was aimed to ...

    • Insights into sugar metabolism during bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit development 

      Samkumar, Amos; Karppinen, Katja; Dhakal, Binita; Martinussen, Inger; Jaakola, Laura (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-03)
      Bilberry fruit is regarded as one of the best natural sources of anthocyanins and iswidely explored for its health-beneficial compounds. Besides anthocyanins, one of themajor attributes that determine the berry quality is the accumulation of sugars thatprovide sweetness and flavor to ripening fruit. In this study, we have identified 25 sugarmetabolism-related genes in bilberry, including invertases ...
