Delayed Ripening of Climacteric Fruit by Catalysts Prepared from Induced Cells of Rhodococcus rhodochrous DAP 96253—A Case for the Biological Modulation of Yang-Cycle Driven Processes by a Prokaryote
نویسندگان
چکیده
Induced cells of Rhodococcus rhodochrous DAP 96253, when placed in the proximity of climacteric fruit (peaches, bananas, avocados) delay the ripening of the fruit. Examination of the delayed ripening shows that the induced cells possess multiple mechanisms that have the potential to impact the Yang Cycle in climacteric plants and processes such as volatile flavor and fragrance compounds related to the climacteric process. The suggestion is brought forward that these induced R. rhodochrous cells possess the ability to modify/modulate an important plant process.

Enhanced Activity And Stability Of Enzymes Associated With Delayed Fruit Ripening In Rhodococcus rhodochrous DAP 96253
Rhodococcus has diverse metabolic capabilities, such as delaying ripening of certain climacteric fruit. Nitrile hydratase (NHase), amidase, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACC deaminase), cyanidase, and β-cyanoalanine synthase-like enzyme (βCAS-like) are possibly involved in fruit ripening. The activity of these enzymes in Rhodococcus rhodochrous DAP 96253 cells were induced with s...

متن کاملNovel insight into vascular, stress, and auxin-dependent and -independent gene expression programs in strawberry, a non-climacteric fruit.
Using cDNA microarrays, a comprehensive investigation of gene expression was carried out in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit to understand the flow of events associated with its maturation and non-climacteric ripening. We detected key processes and novel genes not previously associated with fruit development and ripening, related to vascular development, oxidative stress, and auxin respon...

Fruits form unique growing period in the life cycle of higher plants. They provide essential nutrients and have beneficial effects on human health. Characterizing the genes involved in fruit development and ripening is fundamental to understanding the biological process and improving horticultural crops. Although, numerous genes that have been characterized are participated in regulating fruit ...
متن کاملTwo FERONIA-Like Receptor Kinases Regulate Apple Fruit Ripening by Modulating Ethylene Production
Ethylene has long been known to be a critical signal controlling the ripening of climacteric fruits; however, the signaling mechanism underlying ethylene production during fruit development is unknown. Here, we report that two FERONIA-like receptor kinases (FERLs) regulate fruit ripening by modulating ethylene production in the climacteric fruit, apple (Malus×domestica). Bioinformatic analysis ...
