The pivotal role of phytohormones during fruit development and ripening is considered
established knowledge in plant biology. Perhaps less well-known is the growing body of …

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 negative effects of environmental stresses, such as low temperature, high temperature,
salinity, drought, heavy metal stress, and biotic stress significantly decrease crop …

Fruit ripening involves numerous physiological, structural, and metabolic changes that result
in the formation of edible fruits. This process is controlled at different molecular levels, with …

Melatonin (MT) functions as an important bio-active molecule in diverse physiological
processes in higher plants. In the present study the role of MT in modulating ripening and …

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 …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that are essential for plant growth and
development. These hormones control the division, elongation and differentiation of various …

Fruit growth and ripening are controlled by multiple phytohormones. How these hormones
coordinate and interact with each other to control these processes at the molecular level is …

The plant hormone ethylene is essential for climacteric fruit ripening, although it is unclear
how other phytohormones and their interactions with ethylene might affect fruit ripening …

In contrast to climacteric fruits, where ethylene is known to be pivotal, the regulation of
ripening in non-climacteric fruits is not well understood. In the non-climacteric strawberry …
