Journal ArticleDOI
Fruit softening and pectin disassembly: an overview of nanostructural pectin modifications assessed by atomic force microscopy
Candelas Paniagua,Sara Posé,Victor J. Morris,Andrew R. Kirby,Miguel A. Quesada,José A. Mercado +5 more
TL;DR: The main features of the pectin disassembly process during fruit ripening are discussed, and the nanostructural characterization of fruit pectins by AFM and its relationship with texture and postharvest fruit shelf life is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dirigent proteins in plants: modulating cell wall metabolism during abiotic and biotic stress exposure.
Candelas Paniagua,Anna Bilkova,Anna Bilkova,Phil A. Jackson,Siarhei A. Dabravolski,Willi Riber,Vojtech Didi,Josef Houser,Nora Gigli-Bisceglia,Michaela Wimmerová,Eva Budinská,Thorsten Hamann,Jan Hejátko +12 more
TL;DR: The ample evidence for stress-induced dirigent gene expression is summarized, suggesting the role of DIRs in adaptive responses, and a preliminary bioinformatics-based characterization of the AtDIR family is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nanostructural view of the cell wall disassembly process during fruit ripening and postharvest storage by atomic force microscopy
Sara Posé,Candelas Paniagua,Antonio J. Matas,A. Patrick Gunning,Victor J. Morris,Miguel A. Quesada,José A. Mercado +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main features of the cell wall disassembly process associated to fruit softening from a nanostructural point of view have been provided by AFM studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antisense down-regulation of the strawberry β-galactosidase gene FaβGal4 increases cell wall galactose levels and reduces fruit softening
Candelas Paniagua,Rosario Blanco-Portales,Marta Barceló-Muñoz,J.A. García-Gago,Keith W. Waldron,Miguel A. Quesada,Juan Muñoz-Blanco,José A. Mercado +7 more
TL;DR: A strawberry β-galactosidase gene involved in fruit ripening is identified, and its silencing increases cell wall galactose levels and fruit firmness, suggestinggalactose metabolism has a key role in strawberry softening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the effects of polygalacturonase FaPG1 gene silencing on pectin matrix disassembly, enhanced tissue integrity, and firmness in ripe strawberry fruits
Sara Posé,Candelas Paniagua,Manuel Cifuentes,Rosario Blanco-Portales,Miguel A. Quesada,José A. Mercado +5 more
TL;DR: The results support that the increased firmness of transgenic antisense FaPG1 strawberry fruits is predominantly due to a decrease in pectin solubilization and depolymerization that correlates with more tightly attached cell wall-bound pectins.
