Ostwald ripening and the kinetics of rain initiation [PDF]
A central problem in cloud physics is understanding the kinetics of the growth of water droplets. It is believed that there exists a 'condensation-coalescence bottleneck' in the growth of intermediate size droplets. Here the Lifshitz-Slezov theory of Ostwald ripening is applied to the kinetics of the growth of rain drops.

Under-expression of the Auxin Response Factor Sl-ARF4 improves post-harvest behavior of tomato fruits [PDF]
Auxin is one of the most prominent phytohormones regulating many aspects of fleshy fruit development including fruit set, fruit size through the control of cell division and cell expansion, and fruit ripening.

Nitric oxide on/off in fruit ripening
AbstractFruit ripening is a complex physiological process involving significant external and internal modifications. Classic edible fleshy fruits have been classified as climacteric or non‐climacteric according to their dependence on the phyto hormone ethylene; however, data have increasingly confirmed the involvement of the free radical nitric oxide ...

Comparative Evaluation of the Proximate and Cytogenotoxicity of Ash and Rice Chips Used as Mango Fruit Artificial Ripening Agents in Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria [PDF]
The high demand for mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits has led sellers to employ ripening agents. However, concerns are growing regarding the potential toxicities of induced ripening, emphasizing the need for scientific investigation. Samples of artificially and naturally ripened mangoes were analyzed for proximate composition using standard protocols.

Physicochemical quality, antioxidant compounds and activity of MD-2 pineapple fruit at five ripening stages [PDF]
Although Malaysia is one of the important pineapple fruit producing and exporting country, the production of MD-2 pineapple fruit only started in 2009. Pineapple fruit has been harvested at different ripening stages for different markets. The information

Gibberellins play a role in regulating tomato fruit ripening.
Although exogenous applications of gibberellins (GAs) delay tomato ripening, the regulatory mechanisms of GAs in the process has never been well recognized..

Expression patterns of ethylene biosynthesis genes from banana during fruit ripening and in relationship with finger drop [PDF]
Banana finger drop is expressed as a dislodgement of individual fruits from the hand at the pedicel rupture area. As bananas fruit are marketed in hands of generally 4?9 fruits, this postharvest disorder considerably reduces the commercial value of the ...
