Down-Regulation of PpBGAL10 and PpBGAL16 Delays Fruit Softening in Peach by Reducing Polygalacturonase and Pectin Methylesterase Activity [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 β-galactosidases are cell wall hydrolases that play an important role in fruit softening. However, PpBGALs mechanism impacting on ethylene-dependent peach fruit softening was still unclear.

FvMYB79 Positively Regulates Strawberry Fruit Softening via Transcriptional Activation of FvPME38. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Strawberry is a soft fruit with short postharvest life, due to a rapid loss of firmness. Pectin methylesterase (PME)-mediated cell wall remodeling is important to determine fruit firmness and softening.

Fruit softening: demonstration of in-vivo pectate lyase and rhamnogalacturonan lyase action [PDF]
, 2022 The programmed softening that occurs during fruit development requires scission of wall and/or middle lamella polysaccharides, especially pectin. Proposed mechanisms include the action of cell-wall enzymes [e.g.

Fungus Polygalacturonase-Generated Oligogalacturonide Restrains Fruit Softening in Ripening Tomato
, 2021 Fruit softening exacerbates mechanical damage incurred during shipping and handling and the increase in pathogen susceptibility. Here, oligogalacturonides (OGs) produced by fungal polygalacturonase (PG) delayed fruit softening in tomato and maintained ...
