Abstract in brief

  • The study shows that fleshy fruits that use ethylene to control ripening have evolved multiple times in flowering plants, but the molecular details behind this convergent evolution are not well understood.
  • Analysis of genome data from different types of fruits reveals three main feedback circuits that regulate ethylene-driven ripening, which have developed from genes involved in aging or flower development by either gaining new functions or repurposing existing ones.
  • The epigenetic marker H3K27me3 has historically helped restrict ripening-related genes in dry and less-ethylene-dependent fruits, and the evolutionary process is limited by hormone availability and genetic material, but whole-genome duplications have helped plants overcome these constraints.]
