Characterization of the hot pepper (Capsicum frutescens) fruit ripening regulated by ethylene and ABA

Abstract Background Ripening of fleshy fruits has been classically defined as climacteric or non-climacteric. Both types of ripening are controlled by plant hormones, notably by ethylene in climacteric ripening and by abscisic acid (ABA) in non-climacteric ripening. In pepper (Capsicum), fruit ripen...
