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 …

Fruit ripening is a complex and highly coordinated developmental process involving the
expression of many ripening-related genes under the control of a network of signalling …

Target of Rapamycin (TOR) is a major nutrition and energy sensor that regulates growth and
life span in yeast and animals. In plants, growth and life span are intertwined not only with …

Low temperature storage has been the main strategy to increase the shelf life of fruits and
vegetables by reducing the rate of respiration and minimizing fungal disease growth …

Polyamines play important roles in diverse plant growth and development processes,
including seed germination, tissue lignification, organogenesis, flowering, pollination …

Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the most widespread association
between plant roots and fungi in natural and agricultural ecosystems. This work investigated …

Abstract Lipoxygenases (LOXs)(EC 1.13. 11.12) catalyze the oxygenation of fatty acids and
produce oxylipins including the plant hormone jasmonate (jasmonic acid/methyl jasmonate; …

Oxylipins including jasmonates are signaling compounds in plant growth, development, and
responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) most mutants …

In this study we analyzed changes in jasmonic acid (JA) content during the development of
the octoploid strawberry cultivar (Fragaria× ananassa Duch." Benihoppe"). Here, strawberry …

The present work aims to evaluate the roles of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in the formation of
volatile organic compounds (VOC) from grape tomatoes during ripening. Fruits were treated …
