Ethylene is a plant hormone influencing plant processes such as seed germination,
diageotropism, flowering, abscission, senescence, fruit ripening, and pathogenesis …

▪ Abstract Dioxygenases are nonheme iron-containing enzymes important in the
biosynthesis of plant signaling compounds such as abscisic acid, gibberellins, and ethylene …

The latest advances in our understanding of the relationship between ethylene and fruit
ripening are reviewed. Considerable progress has been made in the characterisation of …

After fertilization, the expanding carpel of fleshy fruit goes through a phase change to
ripening. Although the role of ethylene signalling in mediating climacteric ripening has been …

The tomato ACC oxidase gene family is comprised of three members designated ACO1,
ACO2 and ACO3. These are highly homologous throughout the protein coding regions but …

The plant hormone ethylene plays a major role in the ripening of climacteric fruit. We have
generated transgenic cantaloupe Charentais melons expressing an antisense ACC oxidase …

Concentrations of different gases and volatiles present or produced inside a fruit are
determined by the permeability of the fruit tissue to these compounds. Primarily, surface …

Focusing exclusively on postharvest vegetable studies, this book covers advances in
biochemistry, plant physiology, and molecular physiology to maximize vegetable quality …

Passe-Crassane pears require a 3-month chilling treatment at 0° C to be able to produce
ethylene and ripen autonomously after subsequent rewarming. The chilling treatment …

Hypobaric (low-pressure; LP) storage offers considerable potential as a method for
preventing postharvest losses of horticultural and other perishable commodities, such as …
