Effects of Wounding on Respiration and Ethylene Production by Cantaloupe Fruit Tissue

Effects of Wounding on Respiration and Ethylene Production by Cantaloupe Fruit Tissue.

Despite the difficulty of evaluating the effects of handling and wounding, tissue slices offer a(lvantages for physiological or biochemical tests where small quantities of uniform tissues are required. This paper provides information on behavior of tissue slices from cantaloupe fruits, including the changes induced by wounding. Respiration, ethylene production, and the effect of applied ethylen...

Fruit Respiration and Ethylene Production.

Ethylene 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 ...

study the effects of low level laser diode on no production and healing of diabetic and cortisone acetate and normal wounded sd rats

nitric oxide (no) is a small molecule synthesized by most of mammalian cells with diverse biological activities including vasodilatation, host defense and wound healing. impaired wound healing is a common occurrence among diabetics and patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. on the other hand the application of laser in biomedical area have been increased. thus, the current studies were desi...

Ethylene production and respiration in aging leaf segments and in disks of fruit tissue of normal and mutant tomatoes.

Leaf segments of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) of a normal strain and of two nonripening mutants rin and nor were aged in darkness. Respiration in leaf segments of all strains followed a climacteric-like pattern which was accompanied by a similar pattern of ethylene production. l-Methionine-U-(14)C vacuum-infiltrated into leaf segments at the beginning of the climacteric-like ri...
