As the tomato fruit grows, it goes through different developmental stages until it acquires its
full size. This size is achieved with the completion οf the Μature Green stage of tomato …

Highlights•Uncontrolled physiological processes may result in crop losses.•Shattering,
abscission, and reduced dormancy are responsible for losses in the field.•Overripening and …

Although auxin is known to induce ethylene biosynthesis in some Rosaceae fruit crops, the
mechanisms underlying the auxin–ethylene interaction during fruit ripening remain largely …

The hormonal interplay during the on-tree development and ripening of three apple cultivars
with known differences in their postharvest ripening patterns was studied, at the biochemical …

In the present work, the effects of enriching tomatoes with selenium were studied in terms of
physiological, metabolic, and molecular processes in the last stages of fruit development …

The effective diffusivity is a key engineering property of fruit that affects transport of metabolic
gases and, hence, ripening. It strongly depends on the microstructure of the fruit. In bulky …

Fruit development can be viewed as the succession of three main steps consisting of the fruit
initiation, growth and ripening. These processes are orchestrated by different factors, notably …

Abstract Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are a superfamily of chaperones that have been
characterized in different organisms. In plants, HSPs promote protein folding and …

Ripening is a process involving various morphological, physiological, and biochemical
changes in fruits. This process is affected by modifications in the cell wall structure …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has become a model for the study of fleshy fruits.
Comprehending the regulatory mechanisms of fleshy fruit ripening is important …
