Climacteric and non-climacteric fruits are differentiated by the ripening process, in particular
by the involvement of ethylene, high respiration rates and the nature of the process, being …

Auxin plays a crucial role in all aspects of plant growth and development. Auxin can induce
the rapid and efficient expression of some genes, which are named auxin early response …

Although the role of ethylene in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening has been
intensively studied, its role in tomato fruit growth remains poorly understood. In addition, the …

The hemibiotrophic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae infects a range of plant
species and causes enormous economic losses. Auxin and WRKY transcription factors play …

Despite the obligatory role of ethylene in climacteric fruit ripening and the identification of 77
ethylene response factors (ERFs) in the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) genome, the role of …

Ripening is the last stage of the developmental program in fleshy fruits. During this phase,
fruits become edible and acquire their unique sensory qualities and post-harvest potential …

There is growing evidence to suggest that epigenetic tags, especially DNA methylation, are
critical regulators of fruit ripening. To examine whether this is the case in sweet pepper …

Plants regularly face the changing climatic conditions that cause biotic and abiotic stress
responses. The abiotic stresses are the primary constraints affecting crop yield and …

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a commercially important fruit crop. Various phytohormones,
particularly ethylene and auxin, control papaya fruit ripening. However, little is known about …

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 …
