Ethylene and Fruit Ripening

Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2007
The ripening of fleshy fruits represents the unique coordination of developmental and biochemical pathways leading to changes in color, texture, aroma, and nutritional quality of mature seed-bearing plant organs. The gaseous plant hormone ethylene plays a key regulatory role in ripening of many fruits, including some representing important contributors

Fruit ripening and fruit quality.

2005
AbstractThis chapter covers the following subjects: ripeness classification of tomatoes, measurements of fruit ripeness, the respiratory and ethylene climacteric, quality characteristics (pigments, size and shape, surface appearance, firmness, composition and flavour, volatiles, vitamins, and physiological disorders), and genetic improvements (achieved

Hypoxia and Fruit Ripening

1997
Storage of detached horticultural crops under low O2 and/or high CO2 greatly extends their commercial life. Although the commercial application of controlled atmosphere (CA) storage began some 60 years ago, the biochemical and molecular aspects underlying the action of low O2 on the senescence of detached plant organs remain a mystery [11, 17, 29 ...

Mechanism of Fruit Ripening [PDF]

open access: possible, 2009
The making of a fruit is a developmental process unique to plants. It requires a complex network of interacting genes and signaling pathways. In fleshy fruit, it involves three distinct stages, namely, fruit set, fruit development, and fruit ripening.

Fruit ripening and quality

1986
The conversion of a tomato fruit from the mature green to fully ripe state involves dramatic changes in colour, composition, aroma, flavour and texture. Ripening used to be thought of simply as the result of a series of degradative processes, probably because some of the more obvious changes require the action of hydrolytic enzymes.

RIPENING OF CLIMACTERIC FRUITS AND THEIR CONTROL

Journal of Food Biochemistry, 2010
Ripening is the final stage of development of a fruit, which involves series of physiological and biochemical events that make them both attractive and tasty to eat. Phytohormones play an important role in fruit ripening. Treatment with ethylene is required for normal fruit ripening of climacteric fruits. The fruit ripening can be controlled or delayed

Phenylpropanoid Metabolism in Ripening Fruits

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 2010
Abstract:  Ripening of fleshy fruit is a differentiation process involving biochemical and biophysical changes that lead to the accumulation of sugars and subsequent changes in tissue texture. Also affected are phenolic compounds, which confer color, flavor/aroma, and resistance to pathogen invasion and adverse environmental conditions.

Fruit Ripening in Melon

2016
Ripening is a highly programmed developmental process that confers economically important properties to fruit. Although the key roles of the phytohormone ethylene and related transcription factors have been well studied in the regulation of fruit ripening in the model fruit, tomato, melon (Cucumis melo L.) is also recognized as an attractive ...

Ripening of fruit and vegetables

Nutrition & Food Science, 1978
The terms ripeness and maturity, when applied to fruit and vegetables, are often difficult to define. They relate to the time at which the commodity is in the appropriate state for harvesting and for eating. Although the extremes of under‐ripeness and over‐ripeness are fairly easily defined, exactly when the ripe state is achieved between these two ...

Fruit ripening: the role of hormones, cell wall modifications, and their relationship with pathogens.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2019
Fruits result from complex biological processes that begin soon after fertilization. Among these processes are cell division and expansion, accumulation of secondary metabolites, and an increase in carbohydrate biosynthesis.
