- Title
Fruit Physiology through Signaling Processes: Latest Advances and Future Challenges.
- Authors
Freschi, Luciano; Corpas, Francisco J.; Palma, José M.
- Abstract
As summarized by the authors, many aquaporin-encoding genes are highly expressed at the fruit-expanding stage; however, examples of aquaporin genes being expressed throughout fruit development, or even upregulated during ripening, are not uncommon. As a consequence of the metabolic rewiring of ripening fruits, chemical substances, including the so-called nutraceutical compounds, are differently accumulated depending on the ripening stage and the conditions encountered by the fruit during its ripening. Fruits are unique to flowering plants and confer a selective advantage to these species by facilitating seed maturation and dispersal.
