Abstract excerpt
The ripening behavior of blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) remains debated, with classifications ranging from climacteric to non-climacteric or atypical climacteric. While the role of ethylene in blueberry ripening has been primarily studied through postharvest ethephon treatments, its endogenous function and the presence of system II ethylene biosynthesis remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the role of...
