A core collection of modified strawberry germplasm as a resource tool for funghi infection and fruit texture studies
(2013-09-24)Strawberry has been extensively used as a model organism for functional genomics of genes related with fungi infection (Amil-Ruiz et al, 2011) and fruit ripening, specially fruit texture (Posé et al, 2011). These studies ... -
Cell wall disassembly is delayed by rhamnogalacturonate lyase gene silencing: potential role in fruit firmness
(2019-07-23)Strawberry fruits greatly reduce their quality due to softening during ripening with economically important losses. Texture changes of fleshy fruits during ripening are mainly due to middle lamellae dissolution, cell-to-cell ... -
Down-regulation of a pectin acetylesterase gene modifies strawberry fruit cell wall pectin stracture and increases fruit firmness
(2015-06-29)Antisense-mediated down-regulation of several fruit-specific genes has previously demonstrated how the cell wall disassembly in strawberry fruit is mediated by a series of enzymes that act sequentially (Posé et al. 2011). ... -
Rhamnogalacturonase lyase gene downregulation in strawberry and its potential on mechanical fruit properties
(2017-07-04)Strawberry softening is one of the main factors that reduces fruit quality and leads to economically important losses. Textural changes during fruit ripening are mainly due to the dissolution of middle lamellae, a reduction ... -
Unravelling the nanostructure of strawberry fruit pectins by atomic force microscopy
(2016-07-01)Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows the analysis of individual polymers at nanostructural level with a minimal sample preparation. This technique has been used to analyse the pectin disassembly process during the ripening ... -
Using antibodies to understand the complexities of plant cell walls
(2017-06-26)The rigid structures at the surface of plant cells are some of the most structurally complex & mechanically robust sets of biomaterials in nature. Given the dominance of plants on land, these cell walls are highly abundant ...
