Abstract Key Message This review contains functional roles of NAC transcription factors in
the transcriptional regulation of ripening in tomato fruit, describes the interplay between …

Fruits are derived from flowers and play an important role in human food, nutrition, and
health. In general, flowers determine the crop yield, and ripening affects the fruit quality …

Since the insights by Charles Darwin, heterostyly, a floral polymorphism with morphs
bearing stigmas and anthers at reciprocal heights, has become a model system for the study …

The three-dimensional shape of a flower is integrated by morphogenesis along different
axes. Differentiation along the petal proximodistal axis is tightly linked to the specification of …

The grass family (Poaceae) includes cereal crops that provide a key food source for the
human population. The food industry uses the starch deposited in the cereal grain, which …

Vascular plant reproductive structures have undoubtedly become more complex through
time, evolving highly differentiated parts that interact in specialized ways. But quantifying …

Abstract Background and Aims Wind pollination has evolved repeatedly in flowering plants,
yet the identification of a wind pollination syndrome as a set of integrated floral traits can be …

The appearance of the flower marks a key event in the evolutionary history of plants. Among
the four types of floral organs, the gynoecium represents the major adaptive advantage of …

Abstract Premise The~ 140 species of Lonicera are characterized by variously fused leaves,
bracteoles, and ovaries, making it a model system for studying the evolution and …

Premise of research. Floral synorganization is a structural feature of many speciose
angiosperm taxa and is considered a morphological innovation paving the way for …
