1-MCP Regulates Ethanol Fermentation and GABA Shunt Pathway Involved in Kiwifruit Quality During Postharvest Storage

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2021
Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) ‘Bruno’ is prone to accumulate ethanol rapidly after respiratory climacteric during storage at ambient conditions without stresses, which causes quality deterioration of the fruit associated with alcohol off-flavor.

Identification of novel hypoxia-responsive factors in deep-water rice conferring tolerance to flood during germination

Biologia Plantarum, 2020
Flood in rice fields at the time of seed sowing and early seedling establishment causes extensive crop loss due to the inability of the seeds to tolerate and overcome submergence. In the present study, rice genotypes from Assam, India tolerant to hypoxia

Photorespiration: metabolic pathways and their role in stress protection [PDF]

, 2000
Photorespiration results from the oxygenase reaction catalysed by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase. In this reaction glycollate-2-phosphate is produced and subsequently metabolized in the photorespiratory pathway to form the Calvin ...
