Abstract Rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) belongs to the pectin family and is found in many
plant cell wall types at different growth stages. It plays a significant role in cell wall and plant …

Plant cell walls consist of carbohydrate, protein, and aromatic compounds and are essential
to the proper growth and development of plants. The carbohydrate components make up∼ …

Recent progress in the identification and characterization of pectin biosynthetic proteins and
the discovery of pectin domain–containing proteoglycans are changing our view of how …

Excessive softening during fleshy fruit ripening leads to physical damage and infection that
reduce quality and cause massive supply chain losses. Changes in cell wall (CW) …

Excessive softening is the main factor limiting fruit shelf life and storage. Transgenic plants
modified in the expression of cell wall modifying proteins have been used to investigate the …

In the present paper, 26 food waste streams were selected according to their exploitation
potential and investigated in terms of pectin content. The isolated pectin, subdivided into …

Fruit softening during ripening involves a coordinated series of modifications to the
polysaccharide components of the primary cell wall and middle lamella, resulting in a …

Fruits constitute a commercially important and nutritionally indispensable food commodity.
Being a part of a balanced diet, fruits play a vital role in human nutrition by supplying the …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a globally important crop with an economic value in the
tens of billions of dollars, and a significant supplier of essential vitamins, minerals, and …

Textural changes that lead to softening of fruits are accompanied by loss of neutral sugars,
solubilisation and depolymerisation of the polysaccharides of the cell wall, and …
