Relative to the current knowledge about ethylene, much less is known on the interaction between this hormone and auxins during fruit growth and ripening in some species as for example kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa). The 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxyacetic acid (3,5,6-TPA), a synthetic auxin, is able to increase fruit size in peach affecting some fruit quality traits (Augustà et al., 1999).
