Relation of Polyphenol Oxidases to Fungitoxicity.
Stemphylium sarcinaeforme (Cav.) Wilt. (formerly Macrosporium sarcinaeforme Cav.) and Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) Honey (formerly Sclerotinia fructicola (Wint.) Rehm.) are two fungi which have been widely used as test organisms for screening fungicides in the laboratory. S. sarcinaeforme is resistant to the toxicity of phenolic and quinonoid compounds (herein referred to as phenols and quinone...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of polyphenol oxidases by antisense/sense technology.
Polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) catalyze the oxidation of phenolics to quinones, the secondary reactions of which lead to oxidative browning and postharvest losses of many fruits and vegetables. PPOs are ubiquitous in angiosperms, are inducible by both biotic and abiotic stresses, and have been implicated in several physiological processes including plant defense against pathogens and insects, the M...
متن کاملPlant Polyphenol Oxidases: Isolation and Characterization
Polyphenol oxidases are found both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, in mammals, invertebrates and plants. Most plants have multiple forms of PPO. The more recent articles regarding the polyphenol oxidases from different plants are reviewed. The main characteristics considered were the sources, structure and properties of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) as well as the inhibitors of this en...
متن کاملDevelopment of Internal Browning in Fuji Apples during Storage
Fuji apples may develop the physiological disorders core flush or flesh browning during cold storage in air (RA) or controlled atmosphere (CA) (Argenta et al., 2000). Core flush is a symptom of senescence characterized by yellow-brown discoloration in the core (Wilkinson and Fidler, 1973). In Fuji apples, flesh browning (Photo 1) resembles senescent breakdown because the diffuse, light brown di...
متن کاملEffect of Nucleotides on Enzymic Browning in Potato Slices.
Freshly cut slices darken as a result of oxidation of endogenous phenols in reactions catalyzed by polyphenol oxidase. Ascorbic acid, thiols, and other reducing substances prevent enzymic darkening (5, 17). Earlier studies showed that ATP substantially decreased browning in plant tissues, apparently via the reduction of quinones (14). ATP itself is not a reducing agent. The reducing compound is...
