The plant hormone ethylene plays a key role in climacteric fruit ripening. Studies on
components of ethylene signaling have revealed a linear transduction pathway leading to …

Tomato ripening is a highly coordinated developmental process that coincides with seed
maturation. Regulated expression of thousands of genes controls fruit softening as well as …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), a member of the Poaceae grass family, is an important food
and fodder crop in arid regions and has potential for use as a C 4 biofuel. It is a model …

Fruit development and ripening are unique to plants and represent an important component
of human and animal diets. Recent discoveries have shed light on the molecular basis of …

▪ Abstract Ethylene regulates a multitude of plant processes, ranging from seed germination
to organ senescence. Of particular economic importance is the role of ethylene as an …

This review focuses mainly on eudicot seeds, and on the interactions between abscisic acid
(ABA), gibberellins (GA), ethylene, brassinosteroids (BR), auxin and cytokinins in regulating …

Elucidating the mechanisms involved in ripening of climacteric fruit and the role that
ethylene plays in the process are key to understanding fruit production and quality. In this …

Ethylene regulates many aspects of the plant life cycle, including seed germination, root
initiation, flower development, fruit ripening, senescence, and responses to biotic and abiotic …

▪ Abstract The development and maturation of fruits has received considerable scientific
scrutiny because of both the uniqueness of such processes to the biology of plants and the …

The ripening of fleshy fruits represents the unique coordination of developmental and
biochemical pathways leading to changes in color, texture, aroma, and nutritional quality of …
