Avocado Fruit Pulp Transcriptomes in the after-Ripening Process

Avocado Fruit Development and Ripening Physiology

Regulation of climacteric respiration in ripening avocado fruit.

Ripening of avocado fruit is associated with a dramatic increase in respiration. In vivo(31)P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed large increases in ATP levels accompanying the increase in respiration. Both glycolytic enzymes, phosphofructokinase, and pyrophosphate: fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase were present in avocado fruit with the latter activity being highly stimulate...

Synthesis and processing of cellulase from ripening avocado fruit.

The biosynthesis and processing of cellulase from ripening avocado fruit was studied. The mature protein is a glycoprotein, as judged by concanavalin A binding, with a molecular weight of 54,200. Upon complete deglycosylation by treatment with trifluoromethane sulfonic acid the mature protein has a molecular weight of 52,800 whereas the immunoprecipitated in vitro translation product has a mole...

Ripening-related gene from avocado fruit : ethylene-inducible expression of the mRNA and polypeptide.

Fruit ripening involves a series of changes in gene expression regulated by the phytohormone ethylene. AVOe3, a ripening-related gene in avocado fruit (Persea americana Mill. cv Hass), was characterized with regard to its ethylene-regulated expression. The AVOe3 mRNA and immunopositive protein were induced in mature fruit within 12 hours of propylene treatment. The AVOe3 mRNA levels reached a m...
