Phytohormone ethylene controls diverse developmental and physiological processes such
as fruit ripening via modulation of ethylene signaling pathway. Our previous study identified …

Banana (Musa acuminata) fruits ripening at 30° C or above fail to develop yellow peels; this
phenomenon, called green ripening, greatly reduces their marketability. The regulatory …

The soil contributes to the main pool of crucial mineral nutrients for plant growth. These
essential nutrients play an important role in the formation of plant biomolecules, perform …

Starch degradation is a necessary process determining banana fruit quality during ripening.
Many starch degradation‐related genes are well studied. However, the transcriptional …

Bananas are good sources of nutrients, magnesium and vitamins, and they are also rich in
many antioxidant compounds, such as flavonoids. Flavonoids are secondary metabolites …

ABSTRACT MYC2, a basic helix‐loop‐helix (bHLH) transcription factor, is a key regulator in
the activation of jasmonate (JA) response. However, the molecular details of MYC2 involving …

Fruit ripening is a critical phase in the production and marketing of fruits. Previous studies
have indicated that fruit ripening is a highly coordinated process, mainly regulated at the …

Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a powerful tool to measure gene expression levels.
Accurate and reproducible results are dependent on the correct choice of the reference …

Although starch degradation has been well studied in model systems such as Arabidopsis
leaves and cereal seeds, this process in starchy fruits during ripening, especially in …

Background Aquaporin (AQP) proteins function in transporting water and other small
molecules through the biological membranes, which is crucial for plants to survive in drought …
