Cell Wall Metabolism in Ripening Fruit [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1991 A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric technique utilizing d-[U-(13)C]glucose as a density label tracer was used to follow the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides in pericarp discs that were excised from mature green tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum) and allowed to ripen in culture.

Apple metabolism under oxidative stress affects plant cell wall structure and mechanical properties
Scientific Reports, 2023 Several studies have shown beneficial effects of short exposure to oxidative stress on stored fruit, such as better preservation, increased firmness, preservation of polyphenolic compounds, and reduced risk of postharvest disorders such as bitter pit and

Cell Wall Metabolism in Ripening Fruit [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1980 ;Bartlett' pear (Pyrus communis) fruits were picked at the mature, green stage and ripened at 20 C. Fruits at different stages of ripeness (based on flesh firmness) were homogenized, and the sugar and uronic acid contents of cell wall and soluble polysaccharides were determined.

Pectate lyases, cell wall degradation and fruit softening [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2002 This is a brief review of what is known about the role of pectate lyases in plants. The mode of action and three-dimensional structure of microbial pectate lyases is discussed first and then the limited information on the plant proteins is presented. Pectate lyase-like genes have been isolated from a wide range of plant tissues including germinating ...

Effect of calcium on relieving berry cracking in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) ‘Xiangfei’ [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Fruit cracking is a physiological disorder in many plant species that leads to severe economic losses. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcium on fruit cracking and explore the underlying mechanisms.

The Tomato Fruit Cell Wall [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1990 A nonsoftening tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) variety, dg, was examined to assess the physiological basis for its inability to soften during ripening. Total uronic acid levels, 18 milligrams uronic acid/100 milligrams wall, and the extent of pectin esterification, 60 mole%, remained constant throughout fruit development in this mutant.

Cell Wall Metabolism in Ripening Fruit [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1983 A beta-1,4-xylanase has been purified from the mixture of carbohydrate-degrading enzymes found in a commercial preparation from cultures of Trichoderma viride. Purification from the desalted enzyme mixture is accomplished either by preparative isoelectric focusing or in two-column chromatographic steps. The xylanase has maximal activity at pH 5.0 and a
