Research Advances in the Regulation of Plant Hormones in Citrus Fruit Maturation
Citrus is usually considered as a typical non-climacteric fruit,with abscisic acid being primarily associated with citrus fruit maturity.However,other hormones,such as ethylene,gibberellin,auxin,also contribute significantly to the maturity and color transition of citrus.In production,a variety of natural hormones and synthetic plant growth regulators are commonly utilized to extend the marketing period of citrus fruits and improve postharvest preservation.This paper provides a comprehensive review of current research advances concerning the role of plant hormones on the maturation of citrus fruits.It delves into the complex relationships between these hormones and investigates the regulatory mechanisms controlled by related transcription factors.The primary aim is to provide reference for further research.
