Tuning of Pectin Methylesterification: PECTIN METHYLESTERASE INHIBITOR 7 MODULATES THE PROCESSIVE ACTIVITY OF CO-EXPRESSED PECTIN METHYLESTERASE 3 IN A pH-DEPENDENT MANNER. [PDF]
J Biol Chem, 2015 • Here, we focused on the biochemical characterization of the Arabidopsis thaliana pectin methylesterase 3 gene (AtPME3; At3g14310) and its role in plant development. • A combination of biochemical, gene expression, Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy and reverse genetics approaches were used.

A PECTIN METHYLESTERASE gene at the maize Ga1 locus confers male function in unilateral cross-incompatibility [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Unilateral cross-incompatibility between certain varieties of maize prevents cross-fertilization and can facilitate hybrid breeding. Here the authors show that a PECTIN METHYLESTERASE gene is able to overcome this reproductive barrier and confer ...

A pistil-expressed pectin methylesterase confers cross-incompatibility between strains of Zea mays [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Domesticated maize and some varieties of wild teosinte grow in close proximity in parts of Mexico but rarely cross-fertilize. Here the authors show that a pistil-expressed pectin methylesterase, encoded by a gene within the Teosinte crossing barrier1-s ...

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Cadmium (Cd) is harmful to plant growth and can be easily transferred from soil to plants. Plant cell wall plays important role in preventing Cd from entering cells. Salicylic acid (SA) mediated defense response increases plant resistance to heavy metals.

Effects of Exogenous Pectin Methylesterase on Texture Properties of Low-Salt Pickled Cucumber(外源性果胶甲酯酶对低盐腌渍黄瓜质构性质的影响) [PDF]
Shipin kexue jishu xuebao, 2018 Exogenous pectin methylesterase was added to low-salted pickled cucumbers. The single-factor experiment and orthogonal test were used to study the amount of calcium lactate and pectin methylesterase added, the enzymatic temperature and the enzymatic ...

Pectin Methylesterases and Pectin Dynamics in Pollen Tubes [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2005 Pectic polysaccharides are an essential component of the primary plant cell wall. They are particularly prominent in pollen tubes, where they control the structure and yielding characteristics of the cell wall at the growing apex of these rapidly expanding cells. The properties of pectin meshworks,

Horticulturae, 2021 Quality of raspberry fruit experiences a rapid decline after harvest due to its vulnerable texture and high moisture content. Application of calcium chloride (CaCl2) combined with pectin methylesterase (PME) is efficient in delaying fruit softening.

Effect of solid loading on the behaviour of pectin-degrading enzymes
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021 Background Pectin plays a role in the recalcitrance of plant biomass by affecting the accessibility of other cell wall components to enzymatic degradation.
