Differential gene expression in ripening banana fruit.
During banana (Musa acuminata L.) fruit ripening ethylene production triggers a developmental cascade that is accompanied by a massive conversion of starch to sugars, an associated burst of respiratory activity, and an increase in protein synthesis. Differential screening of cDNA libraries representing banana pulp at ripening stages 1 and 3 has led to the isolation of 11 nonredundant groups of ...
متن کاملOrganic Acids in the Ripening Banana Fruit.
The nonvolatile orgainic acicls uncloubte(dly play a role in fruit ripening as they (1o in many other metabolic processes. As an approach to definiing this role in the banania fruit, informatioin is needled on the nature of these acids and on the chainges which occur dluring ripening. Earlier reports (23) indicate the presence of nmalic, citric, oxalic, an(l tartaric acids in the banana fruit, ...
متن کاملThe effect of tonicity and metabolic inhibitors on respiration and ripening of avocado fruit slices.
The ripening of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruit slices was inhibited whether they were floated in water or in buffered aqueous 0.3 m mannitol, 0.25 m KCl, and sucrose. There was no evidence to support the contention that ripening occurred when the tonicity of the bathing medium was increased. Decreased gaseous exchange is considered to be a major cause of this inhibition because by utili...
متن کاملExpression of chitinase with antifungal activities in ripening Banana fruit
The banana (Musa acuminata) is a climacteric fruit of a great economic importance. In this present study, the expression of chitinases and their antifungal activities were investigated. The ripening stages of banana were defined according to the peel colour index (PCI). In the dyelabelled assay with carboxymethyl chitin remazol brilliant violet 5R (CM-chitinRBV 5R), chitinase activity was detec...
متن کاملCharacterization of ethylene biosynthesis associated with ripening in banana fruit.
We investigated the characteristics of ethylene biosynthesis associated with ripening in banana (Musa sp. [AAA group, Cavendish subgroup] cv Grand Nain) fruit. MA-ACS1 encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase in banana fruit was the gene related to the ripening process and was inducible by exogenous ethylene. At the onset of the climacteric period in naturally ripened fruit...
