The molecular biology and biochemistry of fruit ripening / edited by Graham B. Seymour [and others]. [electronic resource] Seymour, G. B. (Graham B.) Fruit Ripening. Plant molecular biology. Botanical chemistry. SB357.28 .M65 2013 634 Evaluation of coordinated and synergistic mechanisms of cell wall disassembly. Includes bibliographical references and index. Online resource; title from home page (viewed August 1, 2014). A comprehensive and mechanistic perspective on fruit ripening, emphasizing commonalities and differences between fruit groups and ripening processes. Fruits are an essential part of the human diet and contain important phytochemicals that provide protection against heart disease and cancers. Fruit ripening is of importance for human health and for industry-based strategies to harness natural variation, or genetic modification, for crop improvement. This book covers recent advances in the field of plant genomics and how these discoveries can be exploited to understand evolution.
