Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene are the major regulators of ripening and senescence in both dry and fleshy fruits, as demonstrated by numerous ripening-defective mutants, effects of exogenous hormone application, and transcriptome analyses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ethylene acts as a plant growth regulator. It accelerates the development process in plants such as senescence, ripening, and abscission.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ethylene is a hormone responsible for fruit ripening. Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone. It acts as a growth inhibitor.
