•Degradation of organic acids caused low acidity of peach fruits.•Malate accumulation is controlled at the level of metabolism and vacuolar storage.•Citrate accumulation is controlled at the level of metabolism.•Seven candidate genes for peach fruit acidity were identified. Fruit acidity is an impor...
