Background Fruits are vital food resources as they are loaded with bioactive compounds
varying with different stages of ripening. As the fruit ripens, a dynamic color change is …

Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …

Due to unprecedented climate change, rapid industrialization and increasing use of
agrochemicals, abiotic stress, such as drought, low temperature, high salinity and heavy …

The regulatory network of R2R3 MYB transcription factors in anthocyanin biosynthesis is not
fully understood in blue‐coloured berries containing delphinidin compounds. We used blue …

Fruits result from complex biological processes that begin soon after fertilization. Among
these processes are cell division and expansion, accumulation of secondary metabolites …

The biosynthesis of anthocyanins has been shown to be influenced by light quality.
However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the light‐mediated regulation of fruit …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant growth regulator known for its functions, especially in seed
maturation, seed dormancy, adaptive responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, and leaf and …

The aerial parts of land plants are covered by a hydrophobic layer called cuticle that limits
non-stomatal water loss and provides protection against external biotic and abiotic stresses …

Background Consumers' lifestyles demand high-quality products, requesting adequate fruit
storage. Management of ethylene production is of paramount importance when planning …

Anthocyanin production in bicolored sweet cherry (Prunus avium cv. Rainier) fruit is induced
by light exposure, leading to red coloration. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is …
