Ripening is a genetically programmed highly coordinated irreversible phenomenon which
includes many biochemical changes including tissue softening, pigment changes, aroma …

Basic research has provided a much better understanding of the genetic networks and
regulatory hierarchies in plants. To meet the challenges of agriculture, we must be able to …

Successful completion of fruit developmental programs depends on the interplay between
multiple phytohormones. However, besides ethylene, the impact of other hormones on fruit …

Desiccation tolerance appeared as the key adaptation feature of photoautotrophic
organisms for survival in terrestrial habitats. During the further evolution, vascular plants …

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit is also known as the apple of tropics, belongs to the family
of genus Psidium, and is widely cultivated in tropical zones of the world. Recently, the …

A cultivable endophytic fungus, Piriformospora indica, improves growth and enhances stress
tolerance of host plants, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized …

As a part of the study to explore the possible strategy for enhancing the shelf life of mango
fruits, we investigated the changes in biochemical parameters and activities of ripening …

The effects of freezing and frozen storage on bioactive compounds in fruit products have not
been completely elucidated, and the outcomes are often contradictory. Given the wide range …

The exploitation of male sterility systems has enabled the commercialization of heterosis in
rice, with greatly increased yield and total production of this major staple food crop. Hybrid …

The recent advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has enabled access to the
