The effect of ethylene absorbent treatment on the softening of blueberry fruit.

TL;DR: Ethylene absorbent treatment can inhibit the softening of harvested blueberry fruit during storage at 0 °C and shelf life after cold storage, and after being refrigerated for more than 30 days at 0-°C, the EA has a good effect on blueberries storage.

Cell wall metabolism in fruit softening and quality and its manipulation in transgenic plants

TL;DR: Transgenic experiments show that ripening-related expansin protein abundance is directly correlated with fruit softening and has additional indirect effects on pectin depolymerization, showing that this protein is intimately involved in the softening process.

Cell wall disassembly in ripening fruit

TL;DR: Cell wall swelling may be related to a loosening of the xyloglucan-cellulose network and to pectin solubilisation, and these processes combined with the loss of pectic side chains increase wall porosity.

Role of cell wall hydrolases in fruit ripening

TL;DR: Pectinmethylesterase, a new type of pectin-like substance, is introduced into the cell wall through a process called “modification of Cell Wall Hydrolase Activity”.

Temporal Sequence of Cell Wall Disassembly in Rapidly Ripening Melon Fruit

TL;DR: The Charentais variety of melon (Cucumis melo cv Reticulatus F1 Alpha) was observed to undergo very rapid ripening, with the transition from the preripe to overripe stage occurring within 24 to 48 hours as mentioned in this paper.
