چکیده

The rate of uptake of inorganic phosphate by tissue discs from both preclimacteric and climacteric peak avocados is linear for at least 60 minutes. The loss of (32)P upon excessive washing was much greater from peak than from preclimacteric tissue. Short incubation periods and, most important, rapid washing procedures are essential for meaningful comparisons.Phosphate esterification proceeded at a much greater rate in climacteric than in preclimacteric tissue. The phosphorylation was sensitive to 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). The ADP to ATP ratio decreased materially with the advance of ripening. It was concluded that neither uncoupling nor acceptor control can account for the onset of the respiratory rise. Changes in permeability appear to play an important role in fruit metabolism during the climacteric.

\V;hether the toimato fruit is left to ripen on or off the plant, a marked increase in its respiratory rate knowni as the climacteric is observed as it passes from the mature green to the ripe stage (4, 7, 15, 19). A number of hypotheses have been advanced to exllain this climacteric rise in respiration (3, 10). It has been suggested that the climacteric rise is caused by increased utilization ...

Mitochondria were isolated from ;Fuerte' avocado fruit (Persea americana Mill.) at four different stages of the respiratory climacteric. Preclimacteric fruit had the highest rate of succinate oxidation and the postclimacteric mitochondria the lowest. Subsequently, successive additions of ADP increased the respiratory control ratio.Arrhenius plots of succinate oxidation of intact mitochondria fr...

Incorporation of (14)C L-valine and (14)C L-leucine into protein of tissue slices of the avocado fruit was relatively high during the early stages of the climacteric rise, declined sharply thereafter, and was virtually absent at the peak. The incorporation of amino acids in the preclimacteric stage was markedly lower than during the early stage of the respiratory rise. By following incorporatio...

Upon initiation of ripening in avocado fruit (Persea americana Mill. cv Hass) with 10 microliters/liter ethylene, polysome prevalence and associated poly(A)(+) mRNA increase approximately 3-fold early in the respiratory climacteric and drop off to preclimacteric levels at the peak of the respiratory climacteric. The increase in poly(A)(+) mRNA on polysomes early in the respiratory climacteric c...

Ethylene production by tissue slices from preclimacteric, climacteric, and postclimacteric apples was significantly reduced by isopentenyl adenosine (IPA), and by mixtures of IPA and indoleacetic acid, and of IPA, indoleacetic acid, and gibberellic acid after 4 hours of incubation. Ethylene production by apple (Pyrus malus L.) slices in abscisic acid was increased in preclimacteric tissues, dec...
