DOI: 10.1016/j.aquabot.2017.07.002
Abstract: Abstract The seeds of fleshy-fruited species growing in aquatic environments fall into water, with or without their pericarp depending upon whether gravity or animals disperse the seeds, with consequences little explored for seed ecology and… read more here.

Alternative splicing during fruit development among fleshy fruits
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "BMC Genomics"
DOI: 10.1186/s12864-021-08111-1
Abstract: Background Alternative splicing (AS) is an important mechanism of posttranscriptional modification and dynamically regulates multiple physiological processes in plants, including fruit ripening. However, little is known about alternative splicing during fruit development in fleshy fruits.… read more here.

DOI: 10.17159/sajs.2017/20170159
Abstract: Seed dispersal allows successive generations of plants to be mobile in space and time. Heeria argentea’s unusual fruit and its ubiquity in extremely rocky habitats, suggests that this tree requires a specialist disperser. We therefore investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.994159
Abstract: The carbamoyltransferase or aspartate carbamoyltransferase (ATCase)/ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTCase) is an evolutionary conserved protein family, which contains two genes, ATCase and OTCase. The ATCase catalyzes the committed step in the synthesis of UMP from which all… read more here.

The Ubiquitin–26S Proteasome Pathway and Its Role in the Ripening of Fleshy Fruits
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032750
Abstract: The 26S proteasome is an ATP-dependent proteolytic complex in eukaryotes, which is mainly responsible for the degradation of damaged and misfolded proteins and some regulatory proteins in cells, and it is essential to maintain the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants11091133
Abstract: Fleshy fruits represent a valuable resource of economic and nutritional relevance for humanity. The plant cuticle is the external lipid layer covering the nonwoody aerial organs of land plants, and it is the first contact… read more here.

Urban plums and toads: do fleshy fruits affect the post-metamorphic growth of amphibians?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6337
Abstract: Background The main aim of the study was to analyse the influence of fleshy fruits (plums) on the post-metamorphic growth and feeding behaviour of the green toad Bufotes viridis. We tested the following two hypotheses:… read more here.
