Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …

Key message This review contains the regulatory mechanisms of plant hormones in the
ripening process of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, interactions between plant …

Fleshy fruits are characterized by having a developmentally and genetically controlled,
highly intricate ripening process, leading to dramatic modifications in fruit size, texture, color …

Fruit ripening involves numerous physiological, structural, and metabolic changes that result
in the formation of edible fruits. This process is controlled at different molecular levels, with …

The onset of ripening involves changes in sugar metabolism, softening, and color
development. Most understanding of this process arises from work in climacteric fruits where …

Plant species that bear fruit often utilize expansion of an ovary (carpel) or accessory tissue
as a vehicle for seed dispersal. While the seed (s) develop, the tissue (s) of the fruit follow a …

Plant hormones have been extensively studied for their roles in the regulation of various
aspects of plant development. However, in the last decade important new insights have …

In this review, we address the interaction between abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins
(GAs) in regulating non-climacteric fruit development and maturation at the molecular level …

Fruit ripening is a complex and highly coordinated developmental process involving the
expression of many ripening-related genes under the control of a network of signalling …

Phytohormones are integral to the regulation of fruit development and maturation. This
review expands upon current understanding of the relationship between hormone signaling …
