| description | Fruit development and softening play pivotal roles in determining fruit quality and post-harvest shelf life in Chinese bayberry (<i>Myrica rubra</i>). However, the specific role of beta (β)-galactosidase, particularly β-galactosidase of <i>M. rubra</i> (<i>MrBGAL</i>), in facilitating fruit softening remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to address this gap by investigating the involvement of <i>MrBGALs</i> genes in fruit softening. We identified all 15 <i>MrBGALs</i> and conducted a comprehensive analysis, including phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, protein motifs, co-linearity, and expression patterns. Using phylogenetic analysis, we classified all <i>MrBGALs</i> into five distinct groups. Additionally, cis-element prediction and comparative genome analysis provided insightful clues about the functionality of <i>MrBGALs</i>. Transcriptome data revealed unique expression patterns of <i>MrBGALs</i> 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. |
