The pivotal role of phytohormones during fruit development and ripening is considered
established knowledge in plant biology. Perhaps less well-known is the growing body of …

Calcium has well-documented roles in plant signaling, water relations and cell wall
interactions. Significant research into how calcium impacts these individual processes in …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Norisoprenoids and flavonols are important secondary metabolites in grape berries (Vitis
vinifera L.). The former is a class of ubiquitous flavor and fragrance compounds produced by …

Polyamine (PA) catabolic processes are performed by copper-containing amine oxidases
(CuAOs) and flavin-containing PA oxidases (PAOs). So far, several CuAOs and PAOs have …

The role of melatonin in the regulation of fruit ripening and the mechanism involved remain
largely unknown. In “Moldova” grape berries, melatonin accumulated rapidly from onset of …

Fleshy fruits of angiosperms are organs specialized for promoting seed dispersal by
attracting herbivores and enticing them to consume the organ and the seeds it contains …

Polyamines (PAs) participate in many plant growth and developmental processes, including
fruit ripening. However, it is not clear whether PAs play a role in the ripening of strawberry …

Fruit ripening is a complex and highly regulated process where tomato and strawberry have
been the model species classically used for studying climacteric and non-climacteric fleshy …

The interplay between melatonin and ethylene in the regulation of fruit metabolism and the
underlying molecular mechanism of this interplay remain largely unclear. Here, widely …
