TL;DR: Recent developments in the regulation of fruit ripening are summarized with an emphasis on theregulation of ethylene synthesis, perception, and response.

TL;DR: Investigation of the regulation of ACS expression during ripening in tomato fruit shows that each ACS gene is regulated in a unique way, and a proposed model suggests that system-1 ethylene is regulated by the expression of LEACS1A and LEACs6.

TL;DR: Results suggest genes encoding components of light signal transduction machinery also influence fruit pigmentation and represent genetic tools for manipulation of fruit quality and nutritional value.

TL;DR: The tomato ACC oxidase gene family is comprised of three members designated AC01, AC02 and AC03 as mentioned in this paper, which are highly homologous throughout the protein coding regions but do show a degree of sequence divergence within the 3' untranslated regions.

TL;DR: In tomato, two Golden 2-like (GLK) transcription factors are expressed in leaves, but only SlGLK2 is expressed in fruit, which influences photosynthesis in developing fruit, contributing to mature fruit characteristics and suggesting that selection of u inadvertently compromised ripe fruit quality in exchange for desirable production traits as discussed by the authors.
