Fruit ripening is a physiological process that involves a complex network of signaling
molecules that act as switches to activate or deactivate certain metabolic pathways at …

Nitrogen, one of the essential nutrients for tomato growth, has significant influence on tomato
cultivation. Yield, water use efficiency (WUE) and fruit quality are widely considered as the …

Core Ideas Movement of O2 in the soil is mainly diffusive. Respiration consists of plant root
and microbial O2 uptake, roughly of the same magnitude. Reduced O2 and elevated CO2 …

To ascertain the effect of exogenously applied hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on drought stress,
we examined whether the spraying of soybean leaves with H2O2 would alleviate the …

Abstract Effects of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2), as exogenous reactive oxygen, on browning
and active oxygen metabolism in pericarp of harvested 'Fuyan'longan fruit were investigated …

Ascorbic acid plays an essential role in human health and its deficiency severely impacts
physical well-being. Fruits are a good dietary source of ascorbic acid and thereby, its …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can enter terrestrial systems as sulfidised AgNPs (Ag 2 S-NPs)
through the application of biosolids to soil. However, the bioavailability of Ag 2 S-NPs in …

Abstract Effects of brassinosteroids (BRs) on postharvest ripening of tomato fruit were
studied in this work. Mature green tomato fruit were harvested and treated with brassinolide …

Tomato is a popular healthy fruit worldwide because it is rich in secondary metabolites such
as vitamin C. Deficit irrigation (DI) can be applied to improve tomato fruit quality to a certain …

Drought limits plant growth and crop yield worldwide and more frequent occurrences of
water shortages are expected according to climate change projections. However, relatively …
