DIFFERING PATTERNS OF PECTIN DISASSEMBLY AND PERICARP SOFTENING IN RIPENING AND CHILL-INJURED TOMATO FRUIT WITH DOWNREGULATED POLYGALACTURONASE ACTIVITY

Pectin disassembly was examined in transgenic tomato fruit with reduced polygalacturonase (PG). Mature-green tomato fruit were stored at 5 and 12C for 21 days and subsequently transferred to 18C for an additional 5 days. Pericarp softened during storage at 12C and the softening rate increased after...
