In Vitro Propagation of Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) Abstract
A method with high success frequency for propagation of avocado is described. Embryonic axes of mature avocado seeds from six Floridian cultivars were excised and cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing growth regulators. Two types of cytokinins were used: benzyladenine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ). Explants were incubated in the dark for 7-10 days to reduce browning, then transfer...
متن کاملPolyphenoloxidase and peroxidase in avocado pulp ( Persea americana Mill . )
The sensorial qualities, the nutritional value, and the large amount of vitamins of the avocado justify the expansion of the fruit consumption. The nutritional value of avocado is due to its high lipidic (8.4%) and proteic (1.2%) contents, which may reach 30% of its pulp. Due to its chemical composition it also becomes appropriate for industrial purposes (CANTO; SANTOS; TRAVAGLIN, 1980; TANGO; ...
متن کاملCytochrome P-450 from the Mesocarp of Avocado (Persea americana).
The microsomal fraction from the mesocarp of avocado (Persea americana) is one of few identified rich sources of plant cytochrome P-450. Cytochrome P-450 from this tissue has been solubilized and purified. Enzymatic assays (p-chloro-N-methylaniline demethylase) and spectroscopic observations of substrate binding suggest a low spin form of the cytochrome, resembling that in the microsomal membra...
متن کاملRehydration characteristics of freeze-dried avocado (Persea americana)
The avocado is a tropical fruit whose nutritional value is due mainly to its high lipid content. The aim of this work was to evaluate the rehydration of freeze-dried avocado (variety Collinson) powder and slices. The rehydration kinetics was determined using an experimental apparatus that monitored the volume of water absorbed by the sample with the time. Peleg and Weibull equations were used t...
متن کاملInteractions of Avocado (Persea americana) Cytochrome P-450 with Monoterpenoids.
The microsomal fraction of avocado (Persea americana) mesocarp is a rich source of cytochrome P-450 active in the demethylation of xenobiotics. Cytochrome P-450 from this tissue has been purified and well characterized at the molecular level (DP O'Keefe, KJ Leto [1989] Plant Physiol 89: 1141-1149; KR Bozak, H Yu, R Sirevag, RE Christoffersen [1990] Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 87: 3904-3908). Despite...
