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

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family and is the second
most important fruit or vegetable crop next to potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). It is cultivated …

Fruits and vegetables are generally considered as important contributors to a healthy diet
and their intake is extremely helpful to reduce the risk of specific diseases like cancers …

The chloroplast can act as an environmental sensor, communicating with the cell during
biogenesis and operation to change the expression of thousands of proteins. This process …

Ripening of the model fruit tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is controlled by a transcription
factor network including NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) domain proteins such as No …

The tomato non-ripening (nor) mutant generates a truncated 186-amino-acid protein
(NOR186) and has been demonstrated previously to be a gain-of-function mutant. Here, we …

The maturation of green fleshy fruit to become colourful and flavoursome is an important
strategy for plant reproduction and dispersal. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and many …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersium), an important fruit crop worldwide, requires efficient sugar
allocation for fruit development. However, molecular mechanisms for sugar import to fruits …

The current review focuses on the significant role of nitric oxide (NO) in modulating ethylene-
induced fruit ripening responses in plants. In this context, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and …

Fruit development is a complex process that is regulated not only by plant hormones and
transcription factors, but also requires epigenetic modifications. Epigenetic modifications …
