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 کاملClimacteric fruit ripening: Ethylene-dependent and independent regulation of ripening pathways in melon fruit
Cantaloupe melons have a typical climacteric behaviour with ethylene playing a major role in the regulation of the ripening process and affecting the ripening rate. Crossing of Cantaloupe Charentais melon with a non-climacteric melon indicated that the climacteric character is genetically dominant and conferred by two duplicated loci only. However, other experiments made by crossing two non-cli...
متن کاملSensory and instrumental analysis of medium and long shelf-life Charentais cantaloupe melons (Cucumis melo L.) harvested at different maturities
The flavour profiles of two genotypes of Charentais cantaloupe melons (medium shelf-life and long shelf-life), harvested at two distinct maturities (immature and mature fruit), were investigated. Dynamic headspace extraction (DHE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry/mass spectrometry (GC-O/MS) were used to determine vol...
متن کاملLung tumors in mice expressing an antisense RARI32 transgene
Retinoic acid has been shown to be an anticancer agent, and a growing literature suggests that it is the nuclear retinoic acid receptor 2 (RAR2) that is primarily responsible for mediating this effect, at least in some systems. To determine whether partial inactivation of RAR2 would predispose to lung cancer in mice, we generated three transgenic lines expressing antisense sequences. When kille...
متن کاملAntisense ACC Oxidase RNA Delays Carnation Petal Senescence
The phytohormone ethylene is essential for senescence in many fruits and flowers. In the biosynthesis of ethylene in plants, the conversion of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) to 1-aminocyclopropane1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and the conversion of ACC to ethylene are catalyzed by ACC synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO), respectively (Adams and Yang, 1979). Using a cDNA clone representing carnation ACO ...
