Fruit softening, which is a major determinant of shelf life and commercial value, is the
consequence of multiple cellular processes, including extensive remodeling of cell wall …

The plant cuticle is an extracellular barrier that protects the aerial, non-lignified parts of
plants from the surrounding environment, and furthermore plays important functions in organ …

Fruits result from complex biological processes that begin soon after fertilization. Among
these processes are cell division and expansion, accumulation of secondary metabolites …

This review is concerned with the mechanisms controlling fruit softening. Master genetic
regulators switch on the ripening programme and the regulatory pathway branches …

Background While there is now a significant body of research correlating apple (Malus x
domestica) fruit softening with the cell wall hydrolase ENDO-POLYGALACTURONASE1 …

The plant cell-wall matrix is equipped with more than 20 glycosylhydrolase activities,
including both glycosidases and glycanases (exo-and endo-hydrolases, respectively), which …

The banana (Musa spp.) peel undergoes rapid softening during ripening, leading to finger
drop and a shortened shelf life. The regulatory mechanism behind this process remains to …

Fruit softening is a complex process that accelerates postharvest spoilage and shortens the
shelf life of fruit. The precise mechanisms underlying fruit softening remain elusive …

Fruit development and ripening is a complex procedure (Malus× domestica Borkh.) and can
be caused by various factors such as cell structure, cell wall components, and cell wall …

Stylosanthes is an important forage legume in tropical areas with strong resistance to
aluminum (Al) toxicity, though knowledge of mechanisms underlying this resistance remains …
