TLDR
Molecular approaches in fruit cell wall interactions to regulate processes in fruit ripening in order to improve post-harvest textural characteristics are discussed.Abstract:
Fruit ripening is associated with cell wall modifications. The present review focuses on cell wall components and the nature of noncovalent and covalent interactions in the primary cell wall. The role of structural protein cross-links are evaluated within the context of cell wall-mediated changes in texture during fruit ripening. The article discusses molecular approaches in fruit cell wall interactions to regulate processes in fruit ripening in order to improve post-harvest textural characteristics.read more

TL;DR: Biochemical and biomechanical analyses identified several unusual features of DFD cuticles and the data indicate that, as with wall metabolism, changes in cuticle composition and architecture are an integral and regulated part of the ripening program.

Structural models of primary cell walls in flowering plants: consistency of molecular structure with the physical properties of the walls during growth
TL;DR: This review integrates information on the chemical structure of individual polymers with data obtained from new techniques used to probe the arrangement of the polymers within the walls of individual cells consistent with the physical properties of the wall and its components.

Gow-Chin Yen,Hui-Yin Chen +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between antioxidant activity and antimutagenicity of various tea extracts (green tea, pouchong tea, oolong tea and black tea) was investigated in this article, which showed that all tea extracts exhibited markedly antioxidant activity.

CTR1, a negative regulator of the ethylene response pathway in Arabidopsis, encodes a member of the raf family of protein kinases
TL;DR: A recessive Arabidopsis mutant, ctr1, that constitutively exhibits seedling and adult phenotypes observed in plants treated with the plant hormone ethylene is isolated and the DNA sequences of four mutant alleles were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of the primary cell walls of plants.
TL;DR: All glycosyl residues (except the residue at the reducing end of an oligosaccharide, which is called a glycose residue) are glycosidically linked at C-l and this fact is assumed in the notation used, and, thus, C-\ is not mentioned.

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, a new wall-loosening enzyme activity from plants.
TL;DR: It is proposed that XET is responsible for cutting and rejoining intermicrofibrillar xyloglucan chains and that it thus causes the wall-loosening required for plant cell expansion.
