Involvement of Peroxidase and Indole-3-acetic Acid Oxidase Isozymes from Pear, Tomato, and Blueberry Fruit in Ripening.

چکیده
Protein extracts were obtained from climacteric fruits (pear, tomato) and nonclimacteric fruits (blueberry) during various stages of ripening. The use of a gel electrophoresis technique revealed a consistent reinforcement in indoleacetic acid oxidase but not in peroxidase isozymes during ripening. The significance of the results is discussed in relation to the resistance of fruits to ripening and ethylene action.

Effect of Pomegranate, Grape and Kiwifruit Juice and Extract on Postharvest Quality of Intact Pear Fruits
Fruits and vegetables contain an array of antioxidant compounds. In this experiment, the effect of pomegranate, grape and kiwifruit juice or extract viz., pomegranate husk on pear fruits were investigated and compared with chitosan 1.5% and distilled water (control). The changes in the ascorbic acid, total soluble solids, total acid, weight loss, firmness and peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase a...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Overproduction in Tomato shr Mutant Shifts Metabolic Profiles and Suppresses Fruit Growth and Ripening
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in growth and disease resistance in plants. It also acts as a secondary messenger in signaling pathways for several plant hormones. Despite its clear role in regulating plant development, its role in fruit development is not known. In an earlier study, we described a short root (shr) mutant of tomato, whose phenotype results from hyperaccumulation of NO. T...
متن کاملGrapes on steroids. Brassinosteroids are involved in grape berry ripening.
Fruit ripening is a unique plant developmental process with direct implications for our food supply, nutrition, and health. In contrast to climacteric fruit, where ethylene is pivotal, the hormonal control of ripening in nonclimacteric fruit, such as grape (Vitis vinifera), is poorly understood. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal hormones, essential for normal plant growth and development but...
متن کاملThe Use of an Enzyme Electrode in the Analysis of Indole-3-acetic Acid Oxidase Activity in Avena.
A flexible analytical system which allows for the continuous potentiometric monitoring of the disappearance of an electrochemical species, ferrocyanide, by the peroxidase enzyme is described. The ability of peroxidase to mediate the oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid is followed by observing the competition of indole-3-acetic acid with ferrocyanide for the peroxidase enzyme. This is accomplished...
متن کاملHydrogen Peroxide-mediated Oxidation of Indole-3-acetic Acid by Tomato Peroxidase and Molecular Oxygen.
The oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid by anionic tomato peroxidase was found to be negligible unless reaction mixtures were supplemented with H(2)O(2). The addition of H(2)O(2) to reaction mixtures initiated a period of rapid indole-3-acetic acid oxidation and O(2) uptake; this phase ended and O(2) uptake fell to a low level when the H(2)O(2) was exhausted. The stoichiometry of the reaction, wh...
