Tomato ripening is a highly coordinated developmental process that coincides with seed
maturation. Regulated expression of thousands of genes controls fruit softening as well as …

Members of the MADS-box transcription factor family play essential roles in almost every
developmental process in plants. Many MADS-box genes have conserved functions across …

Fleshy fruit undergo a novel developmental program that ends in the irreversible process of
ripening and eventual tissue senescence. During this maturation process, fruit undergo …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) contains two close homologs of the Arabidopsis thaliana
MADS domain transcription factor FRUITFULL (FUL), FUL1 (previously called TDR4) and …

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

Fruit ripening is a developmental process that is exclusive to plants whereby mature seed-
bearing organs undergo physiological and metabolic changes that promote seed dispersal …

ethylene in controlling ripening 1727 IV. The importance of MADS‐RIN in controlling …

Abscission consists in the detachment of entire vegetative and reproductive organs due to
cell separation processes occurring at the abscission zones (AZs) at specific positions of the …

Fruit ripening is a highly coordinated developmental process that coincides with seed
maturation. The ripening process is regulated by thousands of genes that control …

After fertilization, the expanding carpel of fleshy fruit goes through a phase change to
ripening. Although the role of ethylene signalling in mediating climacteric ripening has been …
