title: Ripe for a change.
abstract: As rich sources of vitamins and minerals, fruits are an important part of our diet. However, they are highly perishable. As the biochemical basis for fruit quality is being unraveled, so genetic approaches are being developed to modify the way in which fruit ripen, for the benefit of the consumer.
