Cell Wall Metabolism in Ripening Fruit [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1989 Fractionation of pectic polysaccharides from the juice of ripening ;Bartlett' pears (Pyrus communis) gave two general types of polyuronides. The major type was a homogalacturonan (HGA) whose molecular weight decreased upon ripening. The other type comprised heteropolymers composed of various amounts of arabinose, rhamnose, and galactose.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Glycosidases in Cell Wall-degrading Extracts of Ripening Tomato Fruits [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1975 Enzyme preparations were obtained from cell wall debris of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Tropic) fruits at various stages of ripeness and were assayed for glycosidase and polysaccharidase activities. In addition to polygalacturonase (mol wt 40,000), ripening fruits contain beta-galactosidase (mol wt 63,000) and beta-1, 3-glucanase (mol wt 12 ...
