Question

name a hormone responsible for ripening of fruits

Answer 1

Ethylene is responsible for the changes in texture, softening, color, and other processes involved in ripening. Fruits such as cherries and blueberries do not produce much ethylene and it doesn't influence theirripening. Ethylene is thought of as the aging hormone in plants.

Answer 2

Ethylene is the hormone responsible for the ripening of fruits.

About Plant hormones:

• Plants generate molecules called phytohormones, which control several aspects of their lives, including growth, development, reproduction, lifespan, and even death.
• These tiny chemicals, which come from secondary metabolism, are what allow plants to respond to their surroundings.
• Plants create signal molecules called plant hormones, which are found in incredibly tiny amounts.
• All aspects of plant growth and development, including embryogenesis, the control of organ size, pathogen defense, stress tolerance, and reproductive development, are governed by plant hormones.

What function does ethylene serve in plant hormones?

• The multifunctional phytohormone ethylene is thought to control both growth and senescence.
• Depending on the concentration, time, and species of the plant, it either promotes or inhibits the processes of growth and senescence.
