EurekAlert!: Tomato Time capsule: postharvest treatments and their role in ripening dynamics
Tomato fruit ripening, a process initiated by key gene demethylation, is significantly influenced by postharvest handling practices. These practices, while extending shelf life, can alter ripening ...
A new study has revealed that tomatoes harvested at an extremely early stage can still undergo maturation and ripening postharvest, offering a new avenue to enhance agricultural practices. The ...
The regulation of fruit ripening and maintenance of quality in apples and pears remain central to postharvest research and commercial practices worldwide. Intensive studies are elucidating the ...
Fruit ripening determines both food quality and postharvest losses worldwide, yet the molecular mechanisms controlling this process remain incompletely understood.

Abiotic Stress Priming in Horticultural Crops: Enhancing Nutritional Quality and Post-Harvest Performance
"Proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute on Post-Harvest Physiology and Crop Preservation, held April 28-, in Sounion, Greece"--Title page verso ...
The Horticulture and Agronomy Graduate Group offers programs of study leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees for students interested in the science and management of agricultural crops, including their ...
Pears have a reputation for being tricky—but most of that comes down to timing, not difficulty. Unlike many fruits, pears are typically picked before they’re ripe and finish ripening after harvest.
EurekAlert!: How a plant hormone slows apple ripening by rewriting protein fate
The development and ripening of fruit represent a dynamic interplay of genetic programs, phytohormone signalling, and epigenetic regulation. These processes transform a seed-bearing structure into an ...
