Invertases (INVs) and pectin methylesterases (PMEs) are essential enzymes coordinating
carbohydrate metabolism, stress responses, and sugar signaling. INVs catalyzes the …

Plant cell walls are complex and dynamic structures that play important roles in growth and
development, as well as in response to stresses. Pectin is a major polysaccharide of cell …

Understanding the changes affecting the plant cell wall is a key element in addressing its
functional role in plant growth and in the response to stress. Pectins, which are the main …

Pectin is one of the constituents of the cell wall, distributed in the primary cell wall and
middle lamella, affecting the rheological properties and the cell wall stickiness. Pectin …

Pectin methylesterase inhibitor (PMEI) inhibits pectin methylesterase (PME) activity at post-
translation level, which plays core roles in vegetative and reproductive processes and …

Postharvest losses and quality changes of fruit and vegetables, along the value chain, are a
result of microbial activity and negative impacts of ethylene. It has become important to …

As an important pectin enzyme, pectin methylesterase (PME) can hydrolyze methyl esters,
release methanol and reduce esterification. It is essential in regulating pollen tube …

Durian (Durio zibethinus), which yields the fruit known as the “King of Fruits,” is an important
economic crop in Southeast Asia. Several durian cultivars have been developed in this …

Pectin is secreted in a highly methylesterified form and partially de-methylesterified in the
cell wall by pectin methylesterases (PMEs). PME activity is expressed during plant growth …

Pectin methylesterase is a pectin modifying enzyme that plays a key role in plant physiology.
It is also an important quality-related enzyme in plant-based food products. The pectin …
