Fruit ripening is a complicated process that is accompanied by the formation of fruit quality. It
is not only regulated at the transcriptional level via transcription factors or DNA methylation …

Fruit ripening is a developmental process that is spatio‐temporally tuned at multiple levels.
Molecular dissections of the mechanisms underlying the ripening process have revealed a …

FERONIA (FER) is a receptor‐like kinase showing versatile functions during plant growth,
development, and responses to environmental stimuli. However, its functions during the …

Increasing production efficiency is a top priority in agriculture. Optimal plant architecture is
the biological basis of dense planting, high crop yield and labour cost savings, and is thus …

Light plays a critical role in plant growth and development, but the mechanisms through
which light regulates fruit ripening and nutritional quality in horticultural crops remain largely …

Phenolic acids are important secondary metabolites involved in multiple physiological
activities in plants, such as enzymatic activities and nutrient uptake. Given their health …

Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are protective metabolites constitutively produced by
Solanaceae species. Genes and enzymes generating the vast structural diversity of SGAs …

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a commercially important fruit crop. Various phytohormones,
particularly ethylene and auxin, control papaya fruit ripening. However, little is known about …

Ripening of tomato fruit is a complex tightly orchestrated developmental process that
involves multiple physiological and metabolic changes that render fruit attractive, palatable …
