During the ripening process of fruit, solubilization and depolymerization cell wall components takes place, which results in loss firmness or softening fruit. Recently, we reported that two different strawberry cultivars (“Cristal” “Portola”) exhibit differences their fruit values, with “Cristal” being firmest “Portola” softest. In present work, performed a comparative study changes physicochem...

Whereas the regulatory mechanisms that direct fruit ripening have been studied extensively, little is known about the signaling mechanisms underlying this process, especially for nonclimacteric fruits. In this study, we demonstrated that a SUCROSE NONFERMENTING1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE2, designated as FaSnRK2.6, is a negative regulator of fruit development and ripening in the nonclimacteric frui...
