Ethylene plays an essential role in the ripening of peach, a climacteric stone fruit. However, several studies have shown that other phytohormones may alter fruit organoleptic properties, nutritional value, and overall ...

Auxin–cytokinin (CK) interactions have been extensively studied in the control of bud outgrowth in herbaceous plants. However, in temperate woody plants where the meristem of dormant buds can be repressed by either exogenous ...

Background: Through the diversity of cytokinin regulated processes, this phytohormone has a profound impact on plant growth and development. Cytokinin signaling is involved in the control of apical and lateral meristem ...

Plant beneficial microbes mediate biocontrol of diseases by interfering with pathogens or via strengthening the host. Although phytohormones, including cytokinins, are known to regulate plant development and physiology as ...

Changes in the level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a good indicator to monitor fluctuations in cellular metabolism and in the stress responses. In this study, the changes in H2O2 content during bud endodormancy (ED) and ...

Senescence can be delayed in transgenic plants overexpressing the enzyme isopentenyltransferase (IPT) due to stress-induced increased levels of endogenous cytokinins. This trait leads to sustained photosynthetic activity ...

El cerezo (Prunus avium) y el durazno (Prunus persica) corresponden a cultivos de exportación de alta rentabilidad para Chile. Dentro de los diversos factores comerciales asociados al fruto, se encuentran parámetros ...
