The NAC transcription factor ripening inducing factor (RIF) was previously reported to be
necessary for the ripening of octoploid strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) fruit, but the …

Fruit ripening is accompanied by dramatic changes in color, texture, and flavor and is
regulated by transcription factors (TFs) and epigenetic factors. However, the detailed …

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade consisting of MKKK, MKK, and MPK
plays an indispensable role in various plant physiological processes. Previously, we …

The ethylene insensitive 3/ethylene insensitive 3‐like (EIN3/EIL) plays an indispensable role
in fruit ripening. However, the regulatory mechanism that links post‐translational …

The phytohormone ethylene plays an important role in promoting the softening of climacteric
fruits, such as apples (Malus domestica); however, important aspects of the underlying …

Fruit chilling injury is the result of physiological dysfunction due to membrane lipid phase
change, oxidative damage of biomacromolecules and respiratory metabolism abnormality …

Introductions Ethylene regulates ripening by activating various metabolic pathways that
controlcolor, aroma, flavor, texture, and consequently, the quality of fruits. However, the …

Banana is an important source of carotenoids, and the fruit accumulate carotenoids during
the ripening process. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying carotenoid …

Cysteine desulfhydrase (LCD) catalyzes the generation of the signaling molecule hydrogen
sulfide (H2S) in plants. In this study, we found that H2S can inhibit tomato (Solanum …

The hormone ethylene is crucial in the regulation of ripening in climacteric fruit, such as
bananas. The transcriptional regulation of ethylene biosynthesis throughout banana fruit …
