Relationship Between Dry Matter Contents and Metabolic Enzymes During Potato Tuber Enlargement

Cell division and cell enlargement during potato tuber formation

Untargeted metabolic quantitative trait loci analyses reveal a relationship between primary metabolism and potato tuber quality.

Recent advances in -omics technologies such as transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics along with genotypic profiling have permitted dissection of the genetics of complex traits represented by molecular phenotypes in nonmodel species. To identify the genetic factors underlying variation in primary metabolism in potato (Solanum tuberosum), we have profiled primary metabolite content in a d...

Relationship between liver lipid and liver dry matter in slaughtered ruminants

Lipids in liver wet and dry matter, liver moist and dry matter and their relationships were investigated based on species, sex and age in cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats. Mean percentage of lipids in liver wet and dry matter and liver dry matter in cows were 3.60%, 1.10%, 29.70%, and for buffaloes were 5.30%, 1.55%, 29.20%, sheep 3.00%, 0.83%, 27.90%, and goats 2.910%, 1.55% and 28.40%, respec...

Analysis of the Components Released from Potato Tuber Tissues during Maceration by Pectolytic Enzymes.

Endo-pectin lyase and endo-polygalacturonase of Aspergillus japonicus attack the middle lamella of plant tissue and cause tissue maceration. Galacturonides, neutral sugars, and proteins were released from potato tuber tissues during maceration by both purified enzymes. These three components accounted for 92% of the soluble products. The neutral sugars released were rhamnose, arabinose, and gal...

Relationship between the electrical and rheological properties of potato tuber tissue after various forms of processing.

The impedance at frequencies of 1-1000 kHz and dynamic bending storage modulus measured by the vibrating reed method were compared for potato tuber tissue, which had been processed by various methods. Raw potato tuber tissue strips were either heated for 30 min up to 100 degrees C or frozen-thawed. Some samples were osmotically dehydrated in a mannitol solution up to a concentration of 0.7 mol/...
