“…In the present study, the endogenous ABA levels in date fruit pericarp are shown to rise at the point of fruit green-toyellow transition, at about 18 WPP, and to consistently increase throughout fruit ripening (Figure 4). A similar pattern of constant gradual increase in ABA levels, was reported also for fruit ripening in oil palm, strawberry, litchi, sweet cheery and other fruit species (Wang et al, 2007;Tranbarger et al, 2011;Symons et al, 2012;Yeap et al, 2017;Li et al, 2022;Vignati et al, 2022). An alternative pattern, in which a transient increase in ABA levels at very early stages of fruit maturation triggers the onset of fruit ripening-related processes, was identified in various fleshy fruit species, including blueberries, grapes, mango, tomato, cucumber, persimmon, and others (Wheeler et al, 2009;Zaharah et al, 2012;Karppinen et al, 2013;Leng et al, 2014).…”

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) fruit is of major importance for the nutrition of broad populations in the world’s desert strip; yet it is sorely understudied. Understanding the mechanism regulating date fruit development and ripening is essential to customise date crop to the climatic change, which elaborates yield losses due to often too early occurring wet season. This study aimed to uncover the mechanism regulating date fruit ripening. To that end, we followed the natural process of date fruit development and the effects of exogenous hormone application on fruit ripening in the elite cultivar ‘Medjool’. The results of the current study indicate that the onset of fruit ripening occurre once the seed had reached maximum dry weight. From this point, fruit pericarp endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) levels consistently increased until fruit harvest. The final stage in fruit ripening, the yellow-to-brown transition, was preceded by an arrest of xylem-mediated water transport into the fruit. Exogenous ABA application enhanced fruit ripening when applied just before the green-to-yellow fruit color transition. Repeated ABA applications hastened various fruit ripening processes, resulting in earlier fruit harvest. The data presented supports a pivotal role for ABA in the regulation of date fruit ripening.

“…Photosynthetic rates were less after 10 months of growth than after 2 months of growth, and only small increases in dry mass are still evident after 10-months, suggesting that sweet cherry acclimates to e [CO 2 ] due to long-term exposure [ 72 ]. Due to the young nature of plants studied compared with fully grown mature trees (deciduous tree 15–32 m in height and with a trunk up to 1.5 m in circumference [ 73 , 74 ], no information is available to determine the impacts of e [CO 2 ] on fruit yield or quality. In Nashi pear, a CO 2 -enriched atmosphere of 700 ppm increased fruit weight, diameter and length along with a 22.5% increase in Brix, (a key measure of sweetness for marketable fruit [ 75 ]).…”

Several long-term studies have provided strong support demonstrating that growing crops under elevated [CO2] can increase photosynthesis and result in an increase in yield, flavour and nutritional content (including but not limited to Vitamins C, E and pro-vitamin A). In the case of tomato, increases in yield by as much as 80 % are observed when plants are cultivated at 1000ppm [CO2], which is consistent with current commercial greenhouse production methods in the tomato fruit industry. These results provide a clear demonstration of the potential for elevating [CO2] for improving yield and quality in greenhouse crops. The major focus of this review is to bring together 50 years of observations evaluating the impact of elevated [CO2] on fruit yield and fruit nutritional quality. In the final section, we consider the need to engineer improvements to photosynthesis and nitrogen assimilation to allow plants to take greater advantage of elevated CO2 growth conditions.

“…However, our understanding of cherry fruit formation and its molecular regulation is limited, though some key physiological events are known as essential for fruit development. Initiation of fruit growth and development occurs shortly after full bloom, following fertilization and seed set (Vignati et al, 2022). The developmental growth rate of sweet cherry (drupe) can be described by a double sigmoid curve (stages I-III) (Gibeaut et al, 2017).…”

Boron modulates a wide range of plant developmental processes; however, the regulation of early fruit development by boron remains poorly defined. We report here the physiological, anatomical, metabolic, and transcriptomic impact of pre‐flowering boron supply on the sweet cherry fruit set and development (S1–S5 stages). Our findings revealed that endogenous boron content increased in early growth stages (S1 and S2 stages) following preflowering boron exogenous application. Boron treatment resulted in increased fruit set (S1 and S2 stages) and mesocarp cell enlargement (S2 stage). Various sugars (e.g., fructose and glucose), alcohols (e.g., myo‐inositol and maltitol), organic acids (e.g., malic acid and citric acid), amino acids (e.g., valine and serine) accumulated in response to boron application during the various developmental stages (S1–S5 stages). Transcriptomic analysis at early growth (S1 and S2 stages) identified boron‐responsive genes that are mainly related to secondary metabolism, amino acid metabolism, calcium‐binding, ribosome biogenesis, sugar homeostasis and especially to photosynthesis. We found various boron‐induced/repressed genes, including those specifically involved in growth. Several heat shock proteins displayed distinct patterns during the initial growth in boron‐exposed fruit. Gene analysis also discovered several putative candidate genes like PavPIP5K9, PavWAT1, PavMIOX, PavCAD1, PavPAL1 and PavSNRK2.7, which could facilitate the investigation of the molecular rationale underlying boron function in early fruit growth. Substantial changes in the expression of numerous transcription factors, including PavbHLH25, PavATHB.12L, and PavZAT10.1,.2 were noticed in fruits exposed to boron. The current study provides a baseline of information for understanding the metabolic processes regulated by boron during sweet cherry fruit early growth and fruit development in general.
