Comparative dynamics of ethylene production and expression of the ACS and ACO genes in normal-ripening and non-ripening watermelon fruits
Watermelon fruit is traditionally classified as non-climacteric, but it has been reported to be hypersensitive to exogenous ethylene: resulting in accelerated softening and water-soaking. The previous studies ...
