Cell wall disassembly in ripening fruit

Functional Plant Biology, 2006
Fruit softening during ripening involves a coordinated series of modifications to the polysaccharide components of the primary cell wall and middle lamella, resulting in a weakening of the structure. Degradation of polysaccharides and alterations in the bonding between polymers cause an increase in cell separation and a softening and swelling of the ...

Methods of analysis for cell-wall polysaccharides of fruit and vegetables

Zeitschrift f�r Lebensmittel-Untersuchung und -Forschung, 1983
Uronides and saccharides were determined in the ethanol-insoluble residue of some fruits and vegetables, and in the pectin, hemicellulose and cellulose fractions of that residue. For molecular absorption spectrometry of uronides, enzymic, acidic and alkaline extraction were compared.

Taxonomic and phylogenetic significance of fruit walls in Asclepiadaceae

Feddes Repertorium, 1992
AbstractAnatomy of the fruit wall of Calotropis, Tylophora, Gymnema, Marsdenia, Wattakaka, Ceropegia and Leptadenia were studied for its taxonomic and phylogenetic significance. Epicarp is single layered in Calotropis, Ceropegia and Leptadenia, while in Marsdenia, Wattakaka, Tylophora and Gymnema it is multilayered.

Postharvest Changes in Fruit Cell Wall

1986
Publisher Summary From a physiological point of view, a fruit can be defined as the structural entity resulting from the development of the tissue that supports the ovule. The plant cell consists of cytoplasm surrounded by a cell wall. Each cell is connected to the adjacent cells by a pectin-rich middle lamella.

Soluble and wall-bound invertases in strawberry fruit

Plant Science, 1992
Abstract The relationship between the changes in soluble neutral sugar content and the changes in the activities of soluble and wall-bound invertases was investigated at various stages throughout the development of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. var. Hokowase) fruits.

A xyloglucan from persimmon fruit cell walls

Phytochemistry, 1998
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) fruit cell walls have been shown to contain a high proportion of xyloglucan. This hemicellulosic polysaccharide appears to play a crucial role in the softening process that accompanies fruit ripening. In the present work, xyloglucan from persimmon fruit cell walls was extracted, purified and chemically characterized from ...

Altered cell wall disassembly during ripening of Cnr tomato fruit: implications for cell adhesion and fruit softening

Planta, 2002
The Cnr ( C olourless n on- r ipening) tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) mutant has an aberrant fruit-ripening phenotype in which fruit do not soften and have reduced cell adhesion between pericarp cells. Cell walls from Cnr fruit were analysed in order to assess the possible contribution of pectic polysaccharides to the non-softening and altered

Polysaccharides and glycoproteins of apple fruit cell walls

Phytochemistry, 1973
Abstract A proportion of the polysaccharides and glycoproteins of apple fruit cell walls can be readily extracted in neutral buffer at or below 20°. Removal of more material was not achieved with a wide range of dissociative aqueous reagents or non-aqueous solvents.
