Exogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) reshapes hormone metabolism and increases total calcium at full ripeness (S3) in Cerasus humilis fruits, with pedicel, peel, and pulp rising by 46.22%, 67.76%, and 46.02%.
- Why it matters: It remains unclear how auxin-linked hormone metabolism relates to calcium accumulation and how calcium is partitioned among fruit tissues during development in calcium-rich Cerasus humilis.
- What they did: The 'Nongda No. 4' cultivar was treated with exogenous IAA, then hormone metabolites and calcium fractions were measured in pedicel, peel, and pulp across three stages (S1–S3), alongside pathway enrichment and exploratory Pearson correlations.
- The result: IAA significantly altered calcium accumulation and redistribution at S3, reducing pedicel–peel/pulp differences in calcium fractions and changing correlation patterns between hormone metabolites (including auxins, cytokinins, ABA, ACC, and melatonin) and calcium fractions.
