摘要

Fleshy fruit ripening is an enigmatic process wherein flower parts, most commonly the carpel, transform themselves into a completely new organ. This process involves fundamental shifts in physiology and changes in gene expression that manifest over incredibly short periods of time leading to ripening phenomena that include fruit softening, color development, and the accumulation of large amounts of sugars. Most understanding of the onset of ripening arises from work with climacteric fruits in which the control of ripening is predominately by ethylene. However, there are many fruits of economic importance that are nonclimacteric where the control of the onset of ripening appears more complex. Grape is rapidly becoming a model system for the study of nonclimacteric fruit ripening due to the sequencing of its genome and resulting molecular tools, and fostered by its economic importance. Unfortunately, grape suffers from several disadvantages as well, including a lack of transgenic technologies and long propagation times. The studies compiled here are focused on elucidating our understanding of events occurring at the onset of ripening in grape. They take a variety of approaches and attempt to integrate both physiological and molecular phenomena. Cornerstone findings of these studies include the identification of novel genes in the control of nonclimacteric fruit ripening, insights into the role of sugar and abscisic acid in ripening processes, determination of the precise timing of both physiological and molecular changes involved in the onset of ripening, and an investigation of berry water relations. Furthermore, this work embodies new conceptual and analytical approaches to the study of ripening that include extending knowledge from model systems, the use of novels sampling strategies using criteria other than developmental time, and a critical investigation of how gene expression data are manipulated.
