Is the hybrid non-ethylene and ethylene ripening response in kiwifruit ( Actinidia chinensis ) associated with differential regulation of MADS-box transcription factors?
These results suggest that the non-ethylene/ethylene ripening response observed in kiwifruit is a hybrid of both the tomato and grape ripening progression, with Phase 1 being akin to the RIN/ethylene inhibitory response observed in grape and Phase 2 akin to the RIN-associated autocatalytic ethylene response observed in tomato.
Conjunctival inflammation caused by sutures in the bulbar conjunctiva induced LC migration into the cornea. These results indicate that conjunctival inflammation influences the corneal immunological environment, and may affect the fate of orthotopic corneal allografts.
