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 کاملEffect of oxygen on aroma volatiles and quality of fresh-cut cantaloupe and honeydew melons
Cantaloupe and honeydew melon cultivars were processed and stored under a high oxygen passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) or reduced oxygen controlled atmosphere (CA; 5 kPa O2 + 10 kPa CO2 and balance N2) for 14 days at 5 C. Atmosphere did not affect softening rate or soluble solids content and had a negligible effect on colour. Volatile compounds known as flavour-important in melons we...
متن کاملGuide to the Commercial Production of Muskmelon (Cantaloupe) and Related Melons
Historical Perspective Muskmelons, often called cantaloupes in the United States, are not commonly grown here. True cantaloupes have deeply grooved fruit with a hard, warty, or scaly rind and orange or green flesh. Muskmelons (Cucumis melo L. Reticulatus Group), on the other hand, possess a fruit rind that is netted. The muskmelon is a member of the Cucurbitaceae (cucumber) family, which also i...
متن کاملA Case Study of Tendral Winter Melons (cucumis Melo L.) Postharvest Senescence
Tendral type cultivar melons (Cucumis melo L., inodorus group, Winter melon variety) were stored for a 75-d postharvest period in a ventilated chamber at 10 oC ± 1 oC and 75% ± 5 % RH. Qualitative degradation of the fruit was observed mainly involving proteins and ascorbic acid. It was also found that the sugar/acid ratio increased while the glucose/fructose ratio decreased, thus making the fru...
متن کاملEffect of 1-Methylcyclopropene on Antioxidant Activity and Gene Expression of Acc-Synthase and Acc-Oxidase in Cotton Flowers
Cotton yields in the Mid-south are well below the theoretical potential (Baker and Hesketh, 1969). Low and variable cotton yields have been associated with environmental stress, of which temperature and drought appear to play the major role. When plants are stressed they produce ethylene, a plant growth regulator known to cause various plant physiological responses, including control fruit absc...
