Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Medlar fruits were treated with different concentrations of oxalic acid and stored at 4°C and 90% ± 5% RH for 45 days. In particular, 1.5 mM OA applications effectively reduced weight loss and decay, suppressed increases in respiration rate and pH, and slowed the decline in titratable acidity, SSC.

Polygalacturonase in tree pollens [PDF]
Phytochemistry, 1991 Abstract The pollens from 38 species of trees were analysed for polygalacturonase activity. All of the pollens contained polygalacturonase but the range of activities was great. Eastern cottonwood pollen contained the most polygalacturonase, with a level about 12 times higher than that usually found in ripe tomato fruit, which has been the highest ...

Unravelling the nanostructure of strawberry fruit pectins by atomic force microscopy [PDF]
, 2016 Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows the analysis of individual polymers at nanostructural level with a minimal sample preparation. This technique has been used to analyse the pectin disassembly process during the ripening and postharvest storage of ...

Role of Polygalacturonase in Bean Leaf Abscission [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1979 The role of polygalacturonase in leaf abscission was studied in explants of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Red Kidney. Bean polygalacturonase was partially characterized and comparisons were made between the bean enzyme and previously reported higher plant polygalacturonases.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.Cell wall‐degrading enzymes of Cytospora chrysosperma play a crucial role in the infection process. Kmt3 directly regulates Lac11 expression via H3K36me3, thereby influencing laccase activity and affecting C. chrysosperma's degradation of lignocellulose. ABSTRACT Woody canker diseases cause devastating timber losses worldwide. Canker fungi exploit cell

Structural dynamics and divergence of the polygalacturonase gene family in land plants [PDF]
, 2008 A distinct feature of eukaryotic genomes is the presence of gene families. The polygalacturonase (PG) (EC3.2.1.15) gene family is one of the largest gene families in plants. PG is a pectin-digesting enzyme with a glycoside hydrolase 28 domain.

Predictors of organoleptic quality of boiled and dried pulp of safou (dacryodes edulis) and the shelf life of its fresh fruits [PDF]
, 2012 Introduction. The high intra-specific variation in safou traits and the perishable nature of the fruit hampers commercialization. Knowledge of the parameters that determine the acceptability of safou products and the shelf life of fresh fruits is ...
