Regulation of the production of polygalacturonase byAspergillus niger
Synthesis of ethylene in static cultures as well as the effect of endogenous and exogenous ethylene on the synthesis of polygalacturonase by Aspergillus niger were determined. This strain produced maximum ethylene amounts when cultured at 30 degrees C for 3 d. The effect of adding ethylene precursors (citrate-cycle intermediates) on ethylene production

Fruit cell culture as a model system to study cell wall changes during strawberry fruit ripening [PDF]
Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, Duch.) fruit is characterized by its fast ripening and soft texture at the ripen stage, resulting in a short postharvest shelf life and high economic losses.

PATENT PROTECTION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CROP VARIETIES: CASE STUDY OF THE HIGH PECTIN TOMATO [PDF]
Intellectual property is only one element of successful R&D. Our case study tracks a GM crop variety from R&D to processing and retailing. One finding that emerged was the importance of factors besides patent protection for developing a new technology ...

Comparative study of protein-protein interaction observed in PolyGalacturonase-Inhibiting Proteins from and and PolyGalacturonase from [PDF]
Background The PolyGalacturonase-Inhibiting Proteins (PGIP) of plant cell wall limit the invasion of phytopathogenic organisms by interacting with the enzyme PolyGalacturonase (PG) they secrete to degrade pectin present in the cell walls.
