Impact behaviour of freeze-dried and fresh pomelo (Citrus maxima) peel: influence of the hydration state
Pomelos (Citrus maxima) are known for their thick peel which-inter alia-serves as energy dissipator when fruits impact on the ground after being shed. It protects the fruit from splitting open and thus enables the contained seeds to stay germinable and to potentially be dispersed by animal vectors. The main part of the peel consists of a parenchymatous tissue that can be interpreted from a mate...
متن کاملExtraction of pectin from pomelo (Citrus maxima) peels with the assistance of microwave and tartaric acid
Pectin is a component of the plant cell and can be found in the primary cell wall and the middle lamella of plant tissues. Currently, pectin is a very important raw material, especially in the food and the pharmaceutical industries. There are several ways to extract pectin from different materials and solvents. One way to synthesize pectin is from the extraction of pomelo peel and this research...
متن کاملProgramming desiccation-tolerance: from plants to seeds to resurrection plants.
Desiccation-tolerance (DT) evolved as the key solution to survival on land by the early algal ancestors of terrestrial plants. This 'first' DT involved utilizing rapidly mobilisable repair mechanisms and is still found today in mosses, such as Tortula ruralis, and ferns, such as Mohria caffrorum. The first seed plants lost vegetative DT while investing their seeds with tolerance mechanisms impr...
متن کاملNitrogen Limitation and Slow Drying Induce Desiccation Tolerance in Conjugating Green Algae (Zygnematophyceae, Streptophyta) from Polar Habitats
BACKGROUND Filamentous Zygnematophyceae are typical components of algal mats in the polar hydro-terrestrial environment. Under field conditions, they form senescent vegetative cells, designated as pre-akinetes, which are tolerant to desiccation and osmotic stress. KEY FINDINGS Pre-akinete formation and desiccation tolerance was investigated experimentally under monitored laboratory conditions...
متن کاملThe signature of seeds in resurrection plants: a molecular and physiological comparison of desiccation tolerance in seeds and vegetative tissues.
Desiccation-tolerance in vegetative tissues of angiosperms has a polyphyletic origin and could be due to 1) appropriation of the seed-specific program of gene expression that protects orthodox seeds against desiccation, and/or 2) a sustainable version of the abiotic stress response. We tested these hypotheses by comparing molecular and physiological data from the development of orthodox seeds, ...
