Ripening of the model fruit tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is controlled by a transcription
factor network including NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) domain proteins such as No …

The tomato non-ripening (nor) mutant generates a truncated 186-amino-acid protein
(NOR186) and has been demonstrated previously to be a gain-of-function mutant. Here, we …

The transition of fleshy fruit maturation to ripening is regulated by exogenous and
endogenous signals that coordinate the transition of the fruit to a final state of attractiveness …

The maturation and ripening of fleshy fruits is a developmental program that synchronizes
seed maturation with metabolism, rendering fruit tissues desirable to seed dispersing …

Background Fruit maturation and ripening are genetically regulated processes that involve a
complex interplay of plant hormones, growth regulators and multiple biological and …

Transcript abundance of the gene encoding β-galactosidase II, a β-galactosidase/exo-
galactanase (EC 3.2. 1.23) present during tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit ripening …

Firmness is an important parameter for determining maturity/ripeness and postharvest
processing quality of tomatoes. This paper reports on the prediction of different fruit firmness …

Electronic nose technology offers non-destructive alternative to sense aroma, can be used to
assess fruit ripening stage during shelf life. The objective of this study was to monitor tomato …

Tomato fruit (cultivar Belissimo) were harvested at three different stages of ripening, sliced
and stored at at 2, 5, 8, 12 and 16° C. Firmness was measured as the force necessary to …

This study investigated the effect of preharvest treatment of 0.25 mM methyl jasmonate
(MeJA) and 0.5 mM salicylic acid (SA) on quality parameters, most important secondary …
