龙眼果实采后果肉自溶过程中细胞壁组分及其降解酶活性的变化

在(10±1)℃下贮藏的‘福眼’龙眼果实果肉自溶指数和自溶程度随着贮藏时间的延长而增加。果肉细胞壁干重、原果胶、纤维素、半纤维素和细胞壁蛋白含量不断减少。果肉果胶酯酶(PE)活性下降;多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)活性在贮藏6～12d以及纤维素酶活性在贮藏0～12d期间均明显增强,到第12天达到活性高峰,之后下降。但在贮藏0～24d期间,PE、PG和纤维素酶仍然保持较高活性,贮藏24d之后快速下降。β-半乳糖苷酶活性在贮藏0～24d期间略有下降,而在贮藏24d后,活性增强,尤其是贮藏30d后,活性急剧升高。     

多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)在苹果成熟过程中的作用

在未成熟的绿果内,多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)的活性几乎难以察觉。盛花后130天果实还很硬时,PG 活性只有0.58—0.64酶单位(每克果肉)。呼吸高峰后果实硬度开始下降时,PG活性急剧增加。在盛花后165天硬度下降到10.5(每磅/平方厘米)时,酶活性达到最大值。果实变绵后,PG 活性下降。与此同时果胶酸的组分也有明显变化:盛花后120—150天,总果胶酸含量稳定,以后则不断下降;而醇溶性的半乳糖醛酸含量迅速上升,在盛花后120天到165天内增加10多倍。说明果胶酸的分解引起了果实的软化。     

柿果实采后软化过程中细胞壁组分代谢和超微结构的变化

柿果实采后果胶酯酶活性迅速上升,其活性与果实硬度的下降呈明显的负相关。多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性增加缓慢,但其活性与果实硬度的下降无明显相关性。β-半乳糖苷酶活性迅速增加,其活性与果实硬度的下降呈明显的负相关。纤维素酶活性呈逐渐上升趋势,与果实硬度的下降也呈明显的负相关。伴随着细胞壁水解酶活性的增加,果实原果胶和纤维素含量迅速下降,而水溶性果胶含量则迅速上升。柿果刚采收时细胞壁结构完整,3d后细胞壁中胶层基本被溶解,甚至初生壁也局部发生降解。     

串番茄果实货架期间与耐贮性有关的生理特性的变化

串番茄品种随着货架期延长,果实硬度、果肉硬度、原果胶含量逐渐下降;可溶性果胶含量逐渐上升;多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)活性呈峰值变化,变化幅度小于普通番茄.     

苹果果实发育期间细胞壁组分变化特性

以 '富士'、'国光'、'红星'、'金冠'和'嘎拉'5个苹果品种为试材,分析了果实发育成熟过程细胞壁物质(CWM)、水溶性果胶(WSP)、共价结合果胶(CSP)、离子结合果胶(ISP)、纤维素及半纤维素各组分变化.结果表明:在苹果果实发育过程中,5个品种果实CWM含量变化均呈先升后降的变化规律,均以果实膨大期为其含量下降的转折点;果实总果胶含量均呈不断降低的趋势,其中CSP为主导成分,'富士'和'国光'果实CSP含量最高,WSP含量最低,'嘎拉'与'红星'果实3种果胶含量变化居中,'金冠'果实总果胶含量最低且变化小,但在近成熟期'红星'和'金冠'果实WSP呈明显的上升趋势.果实半纤维素含量也具相似的变化规律,'国光'、'富士'和'金冠'等3个品种的高峰值显著高于'嘎拉'和'红星';比较5个品种纤维素含量,'国光'果实在成熟期之前显著高于其他4品种,而其他4品种的纤维素含量变化比较平稳.     

枇杷冷藏过程中果肉木质化与细胞壁物质变化的关系

“大红袍”和“解放钟”枇杷果实在 1℃下贮藏时 ,细胞壁物质代谢异常 ,果肉硬度持续升高而出汁率逐渐降低 ,果胶酯酶 (PE)和多聚半乳糖醛酸酶 (PG)活性和水溶性果胶含量下降 ,原果胶含量、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)活性及木质素和纤维素含量不断增加。约经 3周贮藏后 ,果实出现果皮难剥、果肉质地变硬、粗糙少汁的异常劣变现象。在 12℃下贮藏的枇杷果实 ,细胞壁物质代谢正常 ,果肉硬度增加少 ,PE和PG活性及水溶性果胶含量较高 ,无原果胶增加现象 ,PAL活性呈下降趋势 ,木质素和纤维素含量变化不大 ,果实不出现木质化败坏。这些结果表明冷藏枇杷的木质化败坏可能是一种低温失调现象     

不同成熟度菠萝贮藏特性的差异

随着菠萝果皮由绿转黄,果肉硬度及可溶性固形物含量降低,可溶性糖醛酸含量增加,多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)活性持续升高,而果胶脂酶(PE)活性在过熟期达到高峰并开始下降。研究表明,同一菠萝不同部位果肉硬度、PG活性及可溶性糖醛酸含量差异较大。     

细胞壁代谢与琯溪蜜柚果实成熟过程汁胞粒化的关系

以易发生汁胞粒化的老龄树和不易发生汁胞粒化的适龄树的琯溪蜜柚（Citrus grandis（L．）Osbeck‘Guanximiyou’1果实为材料,研究了果实成熟过程中汁胞粒化发生与细胞壁代谢的关系。结果表明：老龄树果实的汁胞粒化指数随着果实成熟而上升。在汁胞粒化发生过程中,汁胞维持较低的细胞壁降解酶[果胶甲酯酶（PE）、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶（PG）、纤维素酶（Cx）]活性,保持较高的细胞壁物质（原果胶、纤维素、半纤维素）含量;尤其在汁胞粒化的起动阶段和加快阶段,纤维素、半纤维素含量极显著增加。相反,适龄树果实的汁胞粒化指数在果实成熟过程中变化不大,汁胞中细胞壁降解酶活性较高,促进原果胶、纤维素、半纤维素等细胞壁物质的降解,保持较低的细胞壁物质含量,使汁胞发育正常、柔软多汁。这说明PE、PG、Cx活性和原果胶、纤维素、半纤维素含量与錧溪蜜柚汁胞粒化密切相关。     

硅对盐胁迫下枣树组织培养苗细胞壁形成和相关酶活性的影响

盐胁迫（75mmol·L^-1 NaCl）下,枣树微茎段外植体成活率、生根率及枣苗的侧根条数和长度、苗高、单株重量均较对照显著减小;盐胁迫下加硅（Si）（0．75mmol·L^-1 KSiO3）,枣苗的前述指标与对照无显著性差异。盐胁迫下,枣组织培养生根苗细胞壁提取率显著下降,细胞壁中蛋白和低分子量果胶含量显著降低,EDTAU溶性果胶和碱溶性果胶含量显著提高,半纤维素和纤维素含量降低;盐胁迫下加Si,枣苗细胞壁提取率显著提高,细胞壁主要戍分的含量水平与对照相近。与盐胁迫下相比,盐胁迫下加Si,虽然枣苗果胶甲酯酶（PME）和多聚半乳糖醛酸酶（PG）活性升高未达显著性差异水平,但纤维素酶（Cx）活性显著降低,3种水解酶活性的比值均显著增大,细胞壁共价结合态H^＋-ATP酶活性显著升高。结果说明,提高培养基可溶性Si水平,可显著改善受盐胁迫枣苗细胞壁水解酶的活性平衡、组分含量的均衡及细胞壁内外溶质的适应性分配,从而为枣苗较好生长奠定了基础。     

香蕉果实成熟软化过程中细胞壁物质的变化

系统研究了香蕉果实软化过程中细胞壁物质―醇不溶性固形物(AIS)以及3种不同性质的果胶物质:水溶性果胶(WSP)、酸溶性果胶(HP)和碱溶性果胶(OHP)含量的变化。结果表明:随果实的成熟软化,AIS的含量不断降低,且在呼吸跃变时急剧降低;WSP的含量不断增加,HP和OHP的含量不断减少,且均表现出在早期变化量少,在果实硬度迅速降低时变化明显。该研究进一步证明细胞壁物质的变化是导致香蕉果实软化的主要原因。     

European, Chinese and Japanese pear fruits exhibit differential softening characteristics during ripening

Softening characteristics were investigated in three types of pear fruit, namely, European pear 'La France', Chinese pear 'Yali', and Japanese pear 'Nijisseiki'. 'La France' fruit softened dramatically and developed a melting texture during ripening, while 'Yali' fruit with and without propylene treatment showed no change in flesh firmness and texture during ripening. Non-treated 'Nijisseiki' did not show a detectable decrease in flesh firmness, whereas continuous propylene treatment caused a gradual decrease in firmness resulting in a mealy texture. In 'La France', the analysis of cell wall polysaccharides revealed distinct solubilization and depolymerization of pectin and hemicellulose during fruit softening. In 'Nijisseiki', propylene treatment led to the solubilization and depolymerization of pectic polysaccharides to a limited extent, but not of hemicellulose. In 'Yali', hemicellulose polysaccharides were depolymerized during ripening, but there was hardly any change in pectic polysaccharides except in the water-soluble fraction. PC-PG1 and PC-PG2, two polygalacturonase (PG) genes, were expressed in 'La France' fruit during ripening, while only PC-PG2 was expressed in 'Nijisseiki' and neither PC-PG1 or PC-PG2 was expressed in 'Yali'. The expression pattern of PC-XET1 was constitutive during ripening in all three pear types. PG activity measured by the reducing sugar assay increased in all three pears during ripening. However, viscometric measurements showed that the levels of endo-PG activity were high in 'La France', low in 'Nijisseiki', and undetectable in 'Yali' fruits. These results suggest that, in pears, cell wall degradation is correlated with a decrease in firmness during ripening and the modification of both pectin and hemicellulose are essential for the development of a melting texture. Furthermore, the data suggest that different softening behaviours during ripening among the three pear fruits may be caused by different endo-PG activity and different expression of PG genes.     

采后钙处理对梨果实钙的形态和果胶及相关代谢酶类影响的研究

研究了黄花梨经浸钙处理后,果实钙形态转变及果胶含量、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶（PG）和果胶甲酯酶（PME）活力的变化,以及果实硬度的变化。结果表明：浸钙处理的果实总钙含量显著提高,其硬度明显高于对照,且有利于细胞膜透性的保持;梨果实中的NaCl溶性钙最多,其次是水溶性钙,醋酸溶性钙和HCl溶性钙含量较少。在果实贮藏21d时,水溶性钙含量有一个上升的过程,而NaCl溶性钙则有一个下降的过程。浸钙处理后,除醋酸溶性钙外,果实中的水、NaCl和HCl溶性钙含量均有显著的提高。浸钙处理明显抑制了果胶的降解进程与PG的活力,但对PME抑制作用不明显。浸钙处理能提高果实硬度可能与浸钙处理抑制了PG活力有关。     

The relationship between fruit retention force at harvest and quality of feijoa after storage

Feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana, cvs Apollo and Gemini) fruits were removed from the tree and grouped into treatments according to retention force (RF) at harvest. Fruits with greater RF at harvest had higher titratable acidity and flesh firmness, lower soluble solids content and less locule clarity at harvest than fruits with lower RF. After 4 wk storage at 4 °C and 5 days shelflife at 20 °C titratable acidity, soluble solids and firmness in these fruits were similar across RF grades except that after shelflife the incidence of flesh and locule browning was greater in fruits harvested with low RF when compared with fruits picked with greater force. At harvest the total sugar and organic acids, and the sugar: acid ratio were similar irrespective of RF, whereas after storage and shelflife no consistent effect of RF existed. Taste panellists could not detect differences in the eating appeal of fruit harvested with high or with low retention force after storage and shelflife. Soluble solids, acidity and flesh firmness declined markedly over storage and shelflife irrespective of retention force at harvest and although these fruits were still acceptable for eating, they no longer had the characteristic flavour and texture of unstored feijoas.     

Effect of hydroxyl radical on the scission of cellular wall polysaccharides in vitro of banana fruit at various ripening stages

Fruit ripening is generally attributed to disassembly of cellular wall, particularly due to solubilisation and depolymerisation of pectin and hemicellulose. Experiments were conducted to test effects of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) on the scission of cellular wall polysaccharides from pulp tissues of banana fruit at different ripening stage. Cellular wall materials were isolated from pulp tissues of banana fruit at different ripening stages. Two pectic fractions, water soluble pectin (WSP) and acid soluble pectin (ASP), and two hemicellulosic fractions, 1 M KOH soluble hemicellulose (HC1) and 4 M KOH soluble hemicellulos (HC2), were obtained from the cellular wall materials from pulp tissues, respectively. Effects of ·OH induced by the Fenton reaction on the scission of pectin and hemicellulose in vitro were investigated. As fruit ripening progressed, the sugar components of the WSP, HC1 and HC2 attacked by ·OH showed obvious molecular-mass downshifts. Thus, ·OH caused the disassembly of polysaccharides (WSP, ASP, HC1 and HC2) from cellular walls of pulp tissues of banana fruit, demonstrated by the reduced molecular mass distribution. Moreover, ·OH production in pulp tissues increased significantly as banana fruit ripened, which further help account for the role of ·OH in accelerated fruit ripening.     

PG与番茄果实成熟的关系

系统比较了转多聚半乳糖醛酸酶（PG）反义基因和对照番茄果实成熟过程中绿熟、转色、粉顶、粉红、全红5个时期的PG活性和与其相关的生理、生化组分的动态变化。实验表明,转基因果与对照果相比,PG活性始终处于较低水平,PG活性强烈被抑制是在全红期;果实的硬度、贮藏寿命指数都高于对照果;番茄红素合成积累进程被延缓;可溶性果胶含量、电解质外渗百分率均低于对照果。外源乙烯刺激引起对照果PG活性剧增,而转基因果表现钝化。讨论了PG活性与果实成熟、耐贮性及软化的关系,及对外源乙烯刺激的敏感性。首次明确提出PG活性在对照果中极大地表达,在转基因果中强烈被抑制是在全红期 ,而不是在整个成熟期;PG活性在果实软化中起直接和重要作用;PG活性的高低与番茄红素的合成与积累有关。     

外源抗坏血酸处理对人工脱涩柿果的保鲜作用

该研究以广西中部地区的早熟品种‘牛心柿’(Diospyros kaki cv.Niuxin)的果实为材料,研究果实萼片施用5%抗坏血酸溶液处理对CO_2脱涩柿果采后贮藏期果实软化和细胞壁降解以及抗氧化体系等相关生理生化指标的影响。结果表明:抗坏血酸对人工脱涩后‘牛心柿’果实的保鲜效果明显,与空白和去离子水对照相比,外源抗坏血酸处理更好地延缓柿果实硬度的降低和总色差的升高。抗坏血酸处理后7~15 d,原果胶的下降速率和可溶性果胶的上升速率得以延缓,细胞壁降解酶PG和Cx活性均低于空白和对照。同时,外源抗坏血酸阻滞了整个贮藏期果实内源抗坏血酸的减少,并抑制了POD的活性和MDA的积累,果实自身抗氧化体系功能受到保护。此外,抗坏血酸处理还在一定程度上提高了果实还原糖的含量。因此,采后外源施用抗坏血酸不仅可以延长脱涩后鲜食柿果的货架期,而且还有助于提高果实的商品品质。
