Fruit Development

Fruit development is a crucial phase in the plant life cycle, ensuring both protection and successful dispersal of seeds. This session will examine the physiological, molecular, and hormonal regulation of fruit growth from fertilization to maturity. Participants will learn how auxins, gibberellins, and ethylene orchestrate the transition from ovary to fruit, and how these hormones influence texture, color, and taste. The session will also highlight differences between dry fruits, fleshy fruits, and specialized structures adapted for dispersal by animals, wind, or water. Researchers will present insights into the genetic regulation of fruit ripening, including key transcription factors and metabolic pathways involved in sugar accumulation and pigment biosynthesis. Practical aspects will cover post-harvest physiology, with emphasis on improving shelf life and reducing spoilage. Attendees will gain exposure to advanced breeding and biotechnological strategies aimed at enhancing fruit quality, nutritional content, and resistance to diseases. The session will also touch on how climate change alters fruit development patterns, with implications for global agriculture. By bridging fundamental biology with applied research, this session provides a comprehensive view of fruit biology and its role in plant survival and human nutrition.
