Cellular senescence, radiation damage to mitochondria, and the compensatory response in ripening pear fruits.
A compensatory response, viz. in vivo recovery from radiation damage to mitochondria, occurs in preclimacteric pear fruits (Pyrus communis L.) treated with ionizing radiation. The compensatory response is absent or markedly impaired in senescent fruits irradiated at or near the climacteric peak. Senescent cells failed to recover from harmful effects of radiation on: 1) mitochondrial yield, 2) i...
متن کاملPolyribosomes from Pear Fruit: Changes during Ripening and Senescence.
Polysome profiles were examined from lyophilized peel tissue of ripening pear (Pyrus communis, L. var. Passe-Crassane). Messenger RNA chains bearing up to eight ribosomes (octamers) were resolved and exhibited the highest absorption peak when ribonuclease activity was eliminated during extraction. Neither normal ripening nor the increase of large polyribosomes that normally accompanies ripening...
متن کاملCellular response to ionizing radiation: A microRNA story
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. They play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. Ionizing radiation (IR) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration. Recently it has been discovered that mi...
متن کاملThe ribosomes of pear fruit. Their synthesis during the climacteric and the age-related compensatory response to ionizing radiation.
Maceration at liquid nitrogen temperatures, use of poly-vinylpyrrolidone, and careful pH control are essential to the isolation of ribosomes and polysomes from deciduous fruit tissue. Characteristics of the ribosomes and constituent RNA are described. The distribution of ribosomes among monomer and polymer forms remains relatively constant until fruit reach the climacteric peak, after which the...
متن کاملRipening and in vitro retention of respiratory control by avocado and pear mitochondria.
The retention of respiratory control ("survival") by mitochondria held at 25 C was studied in relation to the ripening of two varieties of avocado (Persea americana Mill. var. ;Fuerte' and ;Hass') and one variety of pear (Pyrus communis. L. var. ;Bartlett') fruit. The survival of avocado mitochondria increased from 8 to 10 hours when isolated from unripe, preclimacteric fruit, to 48 hours when ...
