Role of ethylene in the biosynthetic pathway of aliphatic ester aroma volatiles in Charentais Cantaloupe melons.
Compared to other melon types, Cantaloupe Charentais melons are highly aromatic with a major contribution to the aroma being made by aliphatic and branched esters. Using a transgenic line in which the synthesis of the plant hormone ethylene has been considerably lowered by antisense ACC oxidase mRNA (AS), the aliphatic ester pathway steps at which ethylene exerts its regulatory role were found....
متن کاملClimacteric fruit ripening: Ethylene-dependent and independent regulation of ripening pathways in melon fruit
Cantaloupe melons have a typical climacteric behaviour with ethylene playing a major role in the regulation of the ripening process and affecting the ripening rate. Crossing of Cantaloupe Charentais melon with a non-climacteric melon indicated that the climacteric character is genetically dominant and conferred by two duplicated loci only. However, other experiments made by crossing two non-cli...
متن کاملEthylene-independent and ethylene-dependent biochemical changes in ripening tomatoes.
Fruits of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv Sonatine stored in 6% CO(2), 6% O(2), and 88% N(2) for 14 weeks at 12 degrees C, exhibited a temporal separation of certain biochemical events associated with ripening.The specific activity of two citric acid cycle enzymes, citrate synthase and malate dehydrogenase, fell substantially during the first 2 weeks of storage when changes in organic acid conc...
متن کاملEthylene Production, Respiration, & Internal Gas Concentrations in Cantaloupe Fruits at Various Stages of Maturity.
In studying the relationship between ethylene production and the climacteric rise in respiration exhibited by ripening fruits, it was not possible to determine when ethylene production begins until the advent of gas chromatography. This technique makes available quantitative measurement of ethylene concentrations at or below the threshold of physiological activity. Burg and Thimann (3, 4) were ...
متن کاملRole of Ethylene in Fruit Ripening.
There have arisen two schools of thought concerning the role of ethylene in fruit maturation: the classic view of Kidd and West (26) and Hansen (22) that ethylene is a ripening hormone, and a recent interpretation by Biale et al. (7, 3, 4) that it is a by-product of the ripening process. The original presentation of the by-product theory in this journal (7) was tempered with the reminder that 0...
