Abstract: Citrus is the main fruit tree crop in the world and therefore has a tremendous economical, social and cultural impact in our society. In recent years, our knowledge on plant reproductive biology has increased considerably mostly because of the work developed in model plants. However, the information generated in these species cannot always be applied to citrus, predominantly because citrus is a perennial tree crop that exhibits a very peculiar and unusual reproductive biology. Regulation of fruit growth and de… Show more

“…The GA levels found 494 with the optimized methodology are consistent with previous reports [5,6,42], 495 although measured levels of GA 4 were substantially higher than those 496 previously reported [5,6]. However, we could not ascertain whether these 497 differences were attributable to environmental factors such as water deficit [8], 498 or previous fruit load that influences the number of flowers and subsequently 499 fruit set ability, processes in which GAs play a key role [1]. During fruitlet 500 development, GA content increases about two-fold during anthesis and then 501 decreases again to pre-anthesis values [6].…”

“…Fruit development starts with the fertilization of the ovules in the ovary at the time of anthesis (flower opening) leading to the initiation of seed development. Immediately following fertilization, the fruit undergoes a short period of cell division, which is followed by a longer period of cell expansion until the final dimensions are reached (36)(37)(38)(39). The increase in fruit mass was due to growth processes taking place after fertilization, particularly of the pericarp and septum tissues.…”

“…Additionally, citrus fruits exhibit a unique anatomical fruit structure consisting of two major sections, the pericarp and the edible flesh. Considerable progress has been made in the understanding of chromoplast differentiation in the pericarp of citrus fruits (Eilati et al, 1969;Iglesias et al, 2007), which is a process similar to that of tomato and pepper (Egea et al, 2010). However, little is known about the molecular basis of chromoplast differentiation in the edible flesh, even though there is increasing evidence suggesting an essential role of carotenoid synthesis in inducing chromoplast differentiation (Egea et al, 2010;Bian et al, 2011;Li and Yuan, 2013).…”
