TL;DR: Using transgenic tomato lines that were RNAi-silenced for GME, it is confirmed that GME does indeed play a key role in the regulation of ascorbate biosynthesis in plants, a fact that helps to explain the common factors in seemingly unrelated traits such as fruit firmness and asCorbate content.

TL;DR: Results suggest that GDSL1 is specifically involved in the extracellular deposition of the cutin polyester in the tomato fruit cuticle.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved hplc method for the simultaneous determination of the degrees of methylation and acetylation of pectins has been developed, which involves saponification in heterogeneous medium followed by the separation of methanol, acetic acid and internal standard on a C18 column and quantification by refractometry.

TL;DR: The addition of xylanase and β-glucanase to the wheat and bar- ley-based diet significantly reduced the viscosity of the small intestine contents and improved the weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio.

TL;DR: In this article, the sugar determination of ulvans, the water-soluble polysaccharides from Ulva sp and Enteromorpha sp, was optimized by combining partial acid prehydrolysis (2 mol L-1 trifluoroacetic acid, 120°C) with enzymic hydrolysis with β-D-glucuronidase.
