“…Application of relatively higher concentrations of auxin delayed the maturation but at the same time it temporarily stimulates ethylene production (Frenkel and Dyck 1973;Frenkel 1975). These observations were parallel to the results obtained in grape which is a nonclimacteric fruit (Coombe and Hale 1973;Inaba et al 1976;Weaver and Singh 1978;Davies et al 1997;Baydar and Harmankaya 2005). In addition to this, there are several cultivars of European pears and species of Chinese and Japanese pears that are usually non-climacteric.…”

The process of fruit ripening is normally viewed distinctly in climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. But, many fruits such as guava, melon, Japanese plum, Asian pear and pepper show climacteric as well as non-climacteric behaviour depending on the cultivar or genotype. Investigations on in planta levels of CO 2 and ethylene at various stages of fruits during ripening supported the role and involvement of changes in the rate of respiration and ethylene production in non-climacteric fruits such as strawberry, grapes and citrus. Non-climacteric fruits are also reported to respond to the exogenous application of ethylene. Comparative analysis of plant-attached and plant-detached fruits did not show similarity in their ripening behaviour. This disparity is being explained in view of 1. Hypothetical ripening inhibitor, 2. Differences in the production, release and endogenous levels of ethylene, 3. Sensitivity of fruits towards ethylene and 4. Variations in the gaseous microenvironment among fruits and their varieties. Detailed studies on genetic and inheritance patterns along with the application of '-omics' research indicated that ethylene-dependent and ethylene-independent pathways coexist in both climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. Auxin levels also interact with ethylene in regulating ripening. These findings therefore reveal that the classification of fruits based on climacteric rise and/or ethylene production status is not very distinct or perfect. However, presence of a characteristic rise in CO 2 levels and a burst in ethylene production in some non-climacteric fruits as well as the presence of system 2 of ethylene production point to a ubiquitous role for ethylene in fruit ripening.

“…In the earlier stages of berry development, however, higher PAL activity was noted in the skin of 3 cultivars in spite of lower sugar levels. This suggests that higher sugar concentration is not necessarily a prerequisite for the ABA is now known to be a possible trigger of ripening process in grape berries (3,9). Anthocyanin synthesis is markedly stimulated by ABA application to excised berries or leaf disks of grapes (15).…”

“…On the other hand, ABA can be considered as the ripening control factor, because the ABA content is very low in unripe fruit but increases during the process of fruit ripening in both climacteric 5,6 and non-climacteric fruits. [7][8][9][10] At present, a relationship between ABA and ethylene during ripening and senescence was indicated in the tomato fruit: (i) the expression of the ABA biosynthetic gene (LeNCED1) occurs before that of ethylene biosynthesis genes; (ii) ABA content also preceded the climacteric increase in ethylene production; (iii) ABA may induce ethylene biosynthesis via the regulation of ACS and ACO gene expression; (iv) exogenous ABA accelerates fruit ripening, and fluridone or NDGA treatment delayed fruit ripening by inhibition of ABA; and (v) ethylene plays a key role in the later stages of fruit ripening. 11 Also, in our experimental of peach and grape fruits, the potential contribution of ABA was analyzed, in relation to ethylene, in the induction of fruit ripening in both species.…”

In order to understand more details about the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in fruit ripening and senescence, six 740 bp cDNAs (LeNCED1, LeNCED2, PpNCED1, VVNCED1, DKNCED1 and CMNCED1) which encode 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) as a key enzyme in ABA biosynthesis, were cloned from fruits of tomato, peach, grape, persimmon and melon using an RT-PCR approach. A Blast homology search revealed a similarity of amino acid 85.76% between the NCEDs. A relationship between ABA and ethylene during ripening was also investigated. At the mature green stage, exogenous ABA treatment increased ABA content in flesh, and promoting ethylene synthesis and fruit ripening, while treatment with nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), inhibited them, delayed fruit ripening and softening. However, ABA inhibited the ethylene synthesis obviously while NDGA promoted them when treated the immature fruit with these chemicals. At the breaker, NDGA treatment cannot block ABA accumulation and ethylene synthesis. Based on the results obtained in this study, it was concluded that ABA plays different role in ethylene synthesis system in different stages of tomato fruit ripening. IntroductionBecause the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) displays a pattern of change similar to ethylene at late stages of fruit development, it was considered that ABA had a crucial role, perhaps even more crucial role than that of ethylene, in fruit maturation and senescence. 1-3 However, had not demonstration of molecular level. To date, the ripening mechanism of climacteric fruit, especially the effect of ethylene, has been well studied, 4 while the mechanism involved in the ripening of non-climacteric fruits remains unclear. However, the two types of fruits exhibit the same ripening phenomena in terms of colour and texture, with only a difference in ethylene production. On the other hand, ABA can be considered as the ripening control factor, because the ABA content is very low in unripe fruit but increases during the process of fruit ripening in both climacteric 5,6 and non-climacteric fruits. 7-10 At present, a relationship between ABA and ethylene during ripening and senescence was indicated in the tomato fruit: (i) the expression of the ABA biosynthetic gene (LeNCED1) occurs before that of ethylene biosynthesis genes; (ii) ABA content also preceded the climacteric increase in ethylene production; (iii) ABA may induce ethylene biosynthesis via the regulation of ACS and ACO gene expression; (iv) exogenous ABA accelerates fruit ripening, and fluridone or NDGA treatment delayed fruit ripening by inhibition of ABA; and (v) ethylene plays a key role in the later stages of fruit ripening. 11 Also, in our experimental of peach and grape fruits, the potential contribution of ABA was analyzed, in relation to ethylene, in the induction of fruit ripening in both species. The results demonstrated: (1) PpNCED1 and VVNCED1 initiated ABA biosynthesis at the beginning of fruit ripening in peach and grape, respectively, (2) ABA accumulation preceded the climacteric raise in et...
