Prior to the early 1980s, most work on the ripening of fleshy fruits focused on the physiology
and biochemistry of postharvest changes. The emphasis was on the climacteric rise in …

In the years since we last reviewed the use of mutants to study tomato fruit ripening
(Grierson et al. 1987), considerable information has been gained by the cloning, sequencing …

Fruit ripening involves numerous physiological, structural, and metabolic changes that result
in the formation of edible fruits. This process is controlled at different molecular levels, with …

Fleshy fruits are an essential part of the human diet providing vital vitamins, minerals and
other health‐promoting compounds. The texture of the ripe fruit has a significant effect on …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes tomato as a model system for fruit development,
isolation of ripening-related genes, and determination of the physiological functions of …

The ripening process, by which physiological and biochemical changes render a fruit
attractive for consumption, has always been a major area of interest for plant biologists due …

The ripening inhibitor (rin) mutation of tomato yields non‐ripening fruit, and the gene
corresponding to RIN, LeMADS‐RIN, is known to encode a transcriptional factor that …

Abstract Background Grapevine (Vitis species) is among the most important fruit crops in
terms of cultivated area and economic impact. Despite this relevance, little is known about …

A large tomato expressed sequence tag (EST) dataset (152 635 total) was analyzed to gain
insights into differential gene expression among diverse plant tissues representing a range …

Fleshy fruits constitute a commercially important and nutritionally indispensable food
commodity. In 2014, the total production of tomatoes and grapes worldwide was …
