Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping is a step towards the identification of factors regulating traits such as fruit ascorbic acid content. A previously identified QTL controlling variations in tomato has been fine mapped and reveals that polygenic epistatic architecture. monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) allele candidate for proportion increase The MDHAR enzyme active different stages ripening, shows increased activity introgression lines containing wild-type (Solanum pennellii)...
Summary The GDP‐ d ‐mannose 3,5‐epimerase (GME, EC 5.1.3.18), which converts to l ‐galactose, is generally considered be a central enzyme of the major ascorbate biosynthesis pathway in higher plants, but experimental evidence for its role planta lacking. Using transgenic tomato lines that were RNAi‐silenced GME, we confirmed GME does indeed play key regulation plants. In addition, exhibited growth defects affecting both cell division and expansion. A further remarkable feature plants was...
In order to elucidate the regulation mechanisms of carotenoid biosynthesis in apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca), content and carotenogenic gene expression were analysed as a function ethylene production two colour-contrasted varieties. Fruits from Goldrich (GO) orange, while Moniqui (MO) fruits white. Biochemical analysis showed that GO accumulated precursors uncoloured carotenoids, phytoene phytofluene, coloured carotenoid, beta-carotene, only phytofluene but no beta-carotene. Physiological...
Abstract A theory of fruit climacteric ethylene emission was developed and used as the basis a simulation model called ETHY. According to theory, biosynthetic pathway is supplied by ATP regulated 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase ACC oxidase. The conjugation with malonate form MACC taken into account way decrease availability ACC. Because seasonal increase volume, dilution biochemical compounds in ETHY account. Finally, diffusion across skin considered. took effect...
ABSTRACT: Unique gas barrier properties of hydrophilic films (wheat gluten‐based material and synthetic polymer) have been tested through practical application such as modified atmosphere packaging. Mushrooms packed under microporous stored at 10 °C 20 high relative humidity (> 92%). Atmospheric quality changes (cap opening, color) were assessed during storage. steady state atmospheres, poor in both oxygen carbon dioxide, observed, regardless the temperature film used, owing to their...
After canning, pear pieces turn occasionally from whitish-beige to pink. Conditions were set up obtain this discoloration systematically and investigate its mechanism. Canned pears showed a significantly lower L* coordinate compared with fresh pears, the of canned decreased decreasing pH. The values a* b* coordinates increased after processing, increase being greater for more acidic pH values, corresponding redder colors. polyphenol concentrations significantly, mainly due loss procyanidins....
Genomic selection (GS) is a breeding approach which exploits genome-wide information and whose unprecedented success has shaped several animal plant schemes through delivering their genetic progress. This the first study assessing potential of GS in apricot (Prunus armeniaca) to enhance postharvest fruit quality attributes. predictions were based on F1 pseudo-testcross population, comprising 153 individuals with contrasting traits. They phenotyped for physical biochemical metrics climatic...

Abstract Dormant dehusked Avena sativa L. (cv. Moyencourt) caryopses germinated easily at 10°C, but their germination was poor 25 and 30°C. Ethanol overcame dormancy allowed the last two temperatures when given continuously concentrations ranging from 50 to 200 m , or higher beginning of imbibition. also promoted in hypoxia. Other alcohols which were good substrates for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH: EC 1.1.1.1), such as butanol-1, propanol-1 2-propen-1-ol, had same stimulatory effect ethanol,...
Changing the balance between ascorbate, monodehydroascorbate and dehydroascorbate in plant cells by manipulating activity of enzymes involved ascorbate synthesis or recycling oxidized reduced forms leads to multiple phenotypes. A systems biology approach including network analysis transcriptome, proteome metabolites RNAi lines for oxidase, reductase galactonolactone dehydrogenase has been carried out orange fruit pericarp tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). The transcriptome oxidase is inversed...
