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 …

Fruit has evolved myriad forms that facilitate seed dispersal in varied environmental and

Carotenoids are vital phytonutrients widely recognised for their health benefits. Therefore, it
is vital to thoroughly investigate the metabolic regulatory network underlying carotenoid …

Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) is one of the popular fruits world‐wide, and its quality is mainly
determined by key metabolites (sugars, flavonoids, and vitamins). Previous works on …

Plant hormones have been extensively studied for their roles in the regulation of various
aspects of plant development. However, in the last decade important new insights have …

Fruiting structures in the angiosperms range from completely dry to highly fleshy organs and
provide many of our major crop products, including grains. In the model plant Arabidopsis …

Carotenoids serve diverse functions in vastly different organisms that both produce and
consume them. Enhanced carotenoid accumulation is of great importance in the visual and …

MYB transcription factors (TF s) regulate diverse plant developmental processes and
understanding their roles in controlling pigment accumulation in fruit is important for …

Although remarkable progress has been made toward understanding carotenoid
biosynthesis, the mechanisms that regulate the transcription of carotenogenic genes remain …

Modern tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) varieties are bred for uniform ripening (u) light
