(A) Schematic and simplified ethylene and VOCs biosynthesis during fruit development. SlACS (Solanum lycopersicum ACC synthase) families are differentially expressed during fruit development. VOCs biosynthesis derive from different pathways such as phenylpropanoids, fatty acid, and carotenoids degradation. (B) The main enzymes involved in cell wall degradation during fruit ripening and senescence. The action of these enzymes induces loss of firmness and softening.
