The effects of GA3 and divalent cations on aspects of pectin metabolism and tissue softening in ripening tomato pericarp
(1995-01)
The ripening of discs cut from the pericarp of green tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruits is inhibited by treatments with GA3 and several divalent cations, including calcium. Normal ripening is marked by an increase ...
Structure and expression of an inhibitor of fungal polygalacturonases from tomato
(1994-07-01)
A polygalacturonase inhibitor protein (PGIP) was characterized from tomato fruit. Differential glycosylation of a single polypeptide accounted for heterogeneity in concanavalin A binding and in molecular mass. Tomato PGIP ...
Glycoprotein inhibitors of fungal polygalacturonases
(Springer Nature, 1994)
Molecular characterization of a polygalacturonase inhibitor from Pyrus communis L. cv Bartlett
(1993-05)
A polygalacturonase inhibitor glycoprotein with an apparent molecular mass of 43 kD was purified from pear (Pyrus communis L. cv Bartlett) fruit. Chemical deglycosylation of this protein decreased the molecular mass to 34 ...
Comparison of ripening processes in intact tomato fruit and excised pericarp discs
(1990-12-01)
Physiological processes characteristic of ripening in tissues of intact tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were examined in excised pericarp discs. Pericarp discs were prepared from mature-green tomato fruit and ...
