The fruit of Bursera: structure, maturation and parthenocarpy [PDF]

AoB PLANTS, 2012
The deterioration of seasonally tropical dry forests will stop with the implementation of management plans for this ecosystem. To develop these plans, we require information regarding aspects such as germination and the presence of 'empty seeds' of representative species-like, for example, Bursera, a genus with a high number of endemic species of the ...

The miR167–ARF8 module coordinates stamen–pistil development and fruit set in tomato

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
SlMIR167a is the functionally prominent SlMIR167 gene in tomato fruit development. Summary Auxin is an important regulator of reproductive development. The families of the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) genes, important components of the auxin signal, have expanded in flowering plants.

Loss-of-Function of a Tomato Receptor-Like Kinase Impairs Male Fertility and Induces Parthenocarpic Fruit Set

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Parthenocarpy arises when an ovary develops into fruit without pollination/fertilization. The mechanisms involved in genetic parthenocarpy have attracted attention because of their potential application in plant breeding and also for their elucidation of

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

The Ethylene Biosynthesis Gene CpACO1A: A New Player in the Regulation of Sex Determination and Female Flower Development in Cucurbita pepo

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
A methanesulfonate-generated mutant has been identified in Cucurbita pepo that alters sex determination. The mutation converts female into hermaphrodite flowers and disrupts the growth rate and maturation of petals and carpels, delaying female flower ...

Biochemical and Nutritional Profiling of Pistachio Genotypes Grafted Onto Pistacia khinjuk Rootstocks

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study was conducted to evaluate the pomological, biochemical, and nutritional characteristics of pistachio genotypes grafted onto Pistacia khinjuk rootstock in the Hizan region of Bitlis province. In the study, fruit size, kernel yield, cracking rate, moisture content, ash, protein, fat content, mineral content, and fatty acid composition were ...

Cross‐Species Reprogramming of Developmental Plasticity and Metabolic Rewiring via Banana‐Derived WUS2 Developmental Regulator

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4174-4189, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant regeneration is governed by intrinsic gene regulation and phytohormonal cues. WUSCHEL (WUS) gene promotes regeneration, but its broader functional role remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the constitutive and inducible expression of banana‐derived WUS2 (GN‐WUS2) enhances regeneration in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) and Musa ...

VvmiR160s/VvARFs interaction and their spatio-temporal expression/cleavage products during GA-induced grape parthenocarpy

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Grape (Vitis vinifera) is highly sensitive to gibberellin (GA), which effectively induce grape parthenocarpy. Studies showed that miR160s and their target AUXIN RESPONSIVE FACTOR (ARF) responding hormones are indispensable for various aspects ...

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2949-2959, April 2026.
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...

Pollination, pollen tube growth, and fertilization independently contribute to fruit set and development in tomato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
In flowering plants, pollination, pollen tube growth, and fertilization are regarded as the first hierarchical processes of producing offspring. However, their independent contributions to fruit set and development remain unclear.
