Changes in fruit texture taking place during ripening, described as softening, are mainly due
to alterations in structure and/or composition of the cell wall. Several non-covalent …

Since an intake of fruits and vegetables displays important effects on the incidence of
several chronic and non-infectious diseases in humans, consumers' attention worldwide is …

The fruit of the strawberry Fragaria× ananassa has traditionally been classified as non-
climacteric because its ripening process is not governed by ethylene. However, previous …

Populus euphratica is a salt-tolerant tree species that develops leaf succulence after a
prolonged period of salinity stress. In the present study, a putative xyloglucan …

Fruit softening in Fragaria (strawberry) is proposed to be associated with the modification of
cell wall components such as xyloglucan by the action of cell wall‐modifying enzymes. This …

To investigate the physiological and molecular properties relating to cell wall carbohydrate
metabolism in fruit, the ultrastructure and polysaccharides compositions of the cell wall, as …

Fruit firmness is an important economical trait in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) where the
change of this trait is related to cell wall degradation. Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase …

The effect of postharvest dips of CaCl2 and/or naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on quality
parameters, cell wall composition and expression of cell wall-modifying genes of Fragaria …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays several physiological roles in plants. Despite the evidence,
the role of H2S on cell wall disassembly and its implications on fleshy fruit firmness remains …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a model plant for studying fruit development and
ripening. In this study, we found that down-regulation of a tomato bell-like homeodomain 4 …
