Ethylene initiates the ripening and senescence of climacteric fruit, whereas polyamines have been considered as senescence inhibitors. Ethylene and polyamine biosynthetic pathways share S-adenosylmethionine as a common intermediate. The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an inhibitor of ethylene perception, on ethylene and polyamine metabolism and associated gene expression was investigat...

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, catalase, glycolate oxidase, and hydroxypyruvate reductase activities on a protein and fresh weight basis were measured over seven stages of tomato fruit development and ripening. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase decreased steadily during fruit development from 23 +/- 8 nmoles per minute per milligram protein at the mature green stage to 13....

Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play critical regulatory roles in model plants, such as Arabidopsis, rice, and maize. However, the presence of lncRNAs and how they function in fleshy fruit ripening are still largely unknown because fleshy fruit ripening is not present in the above model plants. Tomato is the model system for fruit ripening studies due to its dramatic...

In the Republic of Uzbekistan, experts in field vegetable cultivation are faced with task satisfying population's need for products by not only growing their variety and number but also enhancing quality. The fact that over 80% farmed space was occupied just ten crops, however, highlights lack production. This is mostly because early-ripening, high-yielding, vitamin-rich types appropriate local...

Our knowledge of the factors mediating ethylene-dependent ripening of climacteric fruit remains limited. The transcription of ethylene-regulated genes is mediated by ethylene response factors (ERFs), but mutants providing information on the specific role of the ERFs in fruit ripening are still lacking, likely due to functional redundancy among this large multigene family of transcription factor...

The ripening durations and ingredients for the Salchichon sausages were modified to increase pork rear leg consumption by Korean consumers. The salchichon, a ripened pork sausage, was produced to evaluate the efficacy of two different ripening durations with and without rosemary powder on salchichon sausage quality, and the treatments were: i) 45 days of ripening without rosemary, ii) 60 days o...

The peculiarities of the formation elements crop structure and biological yield winter wheat seeds depending on genotype different technologies its cultivation have been clarified. seed depends structure, namely: number plants, productive stems, grains in an ear mass grain from one ear. It was found that with basic technology growing seeds, average three years mid-early mid-ripening varieties, ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Banana finger drop is defined as dislodgement of individual fruits from the hand at the pedicel rupture area. For some banana varieties, this is a major feature of the ripening process, in addition to ethylene production and sugar metabolism. The few studies devoted to assessing the physiological and molecular basis of this process revealed (i) the similarity between this pr...

The fruits of Cerasus humilis have a unique and pleasant aroma. In this study, the volatile compounds ripe 53 C. genotypes were extracted via headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) identified gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). total, 253 detected, among which esters terpenoids most dominant components. We also found that total volatiles contents varied significa...
