mutants could enhance carotenoid accumulation in tomato fruit.
However, little is known about the relationship between brassinosteroids
and ethylene during tomato fruit ripening. Also, the
mechanisms involved in regulation of chlorophyll, lycopene and
ethylene of postharvest fruit by brassinosteroids have not been
elucidated in detail. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate
the effects of brassinosteroids on postharvest fruit quality
attributes and ethylene synthesis in tomato fruit and the possible
mechanisms involved.
