研究了温州蜜柑果实发育进程中糖含量变化与果糖激酶活性变化的关系及增施氮肥对果实果糖激酶活性和基因表达的影响.结果表明,随着果实的发育,可食组织果糖激酶活性逐渐降低,糖含量不断增加,果皮中蔗糖和葡萄糖含量在成熟期略有下降,果糖激酶活性略有升高.果实膨大期后增施氮肥的果实在成熟期可食组织及果皮中蔗糖和果糖所占比例均有所下降,葡萄糖比例升高,以单位蛋白质表示的果糖激酶活性也明显高于对照果实.Northern分析表明,增施氮肥能促进发育后期果实可食组织中Cufrkl基因的表达,但对Cufrk2的表达无明显作用.

采后两种不同果肉类型油桃软化相关酶活性的变化

以软质油桃“秦光”和非软质油桃“阿姆肯”为原料,研究了果实软化过程中果实硬度和果实软化相关酶活性变化。在果实硬度迅速下降期淀粉酶和蔗糖酶活性较高,以后酶活性下降。纤维素酶多聚半乳糖醛酸酶在果实软化前期活性很低,只在要果实呼吸跃变期这两种酶活性才明显升高。果胶果酯酶活性极低而且变化不大。“秦光”油桃的这几种酶酶活化性“阿姆肯”高,因而果实软化较快。

为研究高氧对抑制果实腐烂的作用及其与抗病相关酶活性诱导的关系,将杨梅果实采后在5℃用纯氧或空气(对照)处理12 d.结果表明,纯氧处理可显著抑制果实腐烂发生,贮藏12 d后对照果实的腐烂指数达到54%,而处理果实仅为17%.纯氧处理在贮藏前期可诱导杨梅果实几丁质酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性的升高,并在第6天时达到高峰.另外,纯氧处理增加了苯丙氨酸解氨酶和过氧化物酶的活性及总酚含量,并在整个贮藏期间一直高于对照水平.这些结果表明,高氧抑制杨梅果实腐烂的作用与诱导与抗病相关的酶的活性升高密切相关,抗病性诱导是高氧抑制杨梅果实腐烂的重要原因.     

网纹甜瓜发育果实糖分积累与蔗糖代谢参与酶的关系

随着网纹甜瓜果实的发育,果实中葡萄糖和果糖的含量增加,蔗糖的快速积累发生在果实发育的中后期,高蔗糖积累型果实中蔗糖积累速率明显快于低蔗糖积累型.蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性在果实发育的前期短暂下降, 而后稳步上升,在果实发育的中后期高蔗糖积累型果实中该酶的活性显著高于低蔗糖积累型果实;随着果实发育,蔗糖合成酶的分解活性降低而合成活性升高.酸性和中性转化酶在未成熟果实中活性较高,而在成熟果实中很低; 高蔗糖积累型果实中酸性转化酶活性显著低于同期低蔗糖积累型果实.合成蔗糖的酶活性小于分解蔗糖的酶活性时蔗糖几乎没有积累.根据这些结果推测,转化酶活性的下降、蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性的增加以及蔗糖合成酶分解活性的下降和合成活性的增加,是引起果实蔗糖积累的主要内在因子.

Effect of the Calcium on Polygalacturonase (PG) Activity and Synthesis at Different Ripening Stages of Tomato Fruits

It has been reported that PG is a key enzyme related to the tomato fruit ripening and that the application of calcium can dramatically decrease the PG activity and delay the ripening of fruits. In this paper the effects of calcium treament at various ripening stages on the transformation of absorbed calcium, PG activity and PG synthesis in tomato fruits were studicd. According to the analysis of calcium by atomic absorption spectroscopy, it was shown that the soluble and total calcium contents in pericarp of fruits treated with calcium at mature-green stage were increased significantly, and that more soluble calcium was transformed into bound calcium. Both the absorption and transformation of calcium decreased in fruits treated with calcium at later stage of ripening. The inhibition of calcium on PG activity was most effective by treatment at mature-green stage, but less effective at later stage of ripening. One reason for the decrease of calcium inhibition was probably due to the decline of calcium absorption as fruit ripening. The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of PG showed that PG with a molecular weight of 46.7 kD was absent in mature-green fruits, and PG synthesis occurred only at the later stage of ripening. It seems that the earlier the treatment was done the more effective of the calcium inhibition of PG synthesis. Based on the above results, it was concluded that the PG plays a major role in ripening and senescence of tomato fruits, and both PG synthesis and its activity were inhibited by calcium. In order to delay the ripening and senescence of tomato fruits, the treatment with calcium should be done at mature-green stage.     

钙对不同成熟期番茄果实的PG活性及其合成的影响

本文研究了钙处理不同成熟期番茄果实对果壁组织中钙含量与转化、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)活性与 PG 合成的影响。结果表明,钙处理绿熟期的番茄果实可使总钙和可溶性钙含量明显增加,并较多转化为结合钙;后期处理,进入和转化的钙都减少。同样,钙处理愈早,对果实 PG 活性的抑制愈强,绿熟期处理可完全抑制 PG 活性。凝胶电泳结合钌红染色,证明绿熟期果实无 PG,PG 是在果实成熟过程中新合成的。钙处理愈早,对 PG 合成的抑制愈强,绿熟期钙处理可完全抑制 PG 合成。

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 Role of Polygalacturonase (PG) in Tomato Fruit Ripening and Effects of Divalent Metal Ions and Ethylene on PG Activity

It has been reported that PG is a key enzyme related to the tomato fruit ripening. In this study tomato fruits were harvested at the mature-green stage and stored at room temperature. The cell ultrastructure of pericarp tissue was observed at different ripening stages, and the effects of treatments with ethylene and calcium on PG activity and fruit ripening were examined. The object of this study is to elucidate the role of PG in regulation of tomato fruit ripening by ethylene and calcium. PG activity, was undetectable at mature-green stage, but it rose rapidly as fruif ripening. The rise in PG activity was coincided with the dechnmg of fruit firmness during ripening of tomato fruits. The observation of cell ultrastructure showed that the most of grana in chloroplast were lost and the mitochondrial cristae decreased as fruit ripening. Striking changes of cell wall structure was most noted, beginning with dissolution of the middle lamella and eventual disruption of primary cell wall. A similar pattern of changes of cell wall and chloroplast have been observed in pericarp tissue treated with PG extract. In fruits treated with calcium and other divalent metal ions atmature-green stage, the lycopene content and PG activity decreased dramatically. Ethylene application enhanced the formation of lycopene and PG activity. The inhibition of Ca2+ on PG ac ivity was removed by ethylene. Based on the above results, it was demonstrated that PG played a major role in ripening of tomato fruits, and suggested that the regulation of fruit ripening by ethylene and Ca2+ was all mediated by PG. PG induced the hydrolysis of cell wall and released the other hydrolytic enzymes, then effected the ripening processes follow up.     

PG在番茄果实成熟中的作用及二价金属离子与乙烯对PG活性的影响

对采后番茄果实的电镜观察表明:当果实成熟衰老时,叶绿体数量减少,多数基粒结构丧失;成熟果实胞壁中胶层水解成中空的电子透明区,初生壁的纤丝也发生一定程度的水解,相邻细胞分离;外源 PG(多聚半乳糖醛酸酶)提取物处理绿熟期果实组织,也可引起胞壁结构和叶绿体发生与正常衰老相同的变化。Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)、Co~(2+)二价金属离子处理果实,可明显降低番茄红素含量和 PG 活性,延缓果实软化。外源乙烯处理果实,可促进番茄红素的形成,提高 PG活性,并能解除钙对 PG 活性的抑制。本文也对 PG 在乙烯和 Ca~(2+)调节果实成熟中的作用进行了讨论。     

Localization of calcium in the pericarp cells of tomato fruits during the development of blossom-end rot

Summary. Blossom-end rot (BER) of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruits is considered to be a physiological disorder caused by calcium deficiency. We attempted to clarify the localization of calcium in the pericarp cells and the ultrastructural changes during the development of BER. Calcium precipitates were observed as electron-dense deposits by an antimonate precipitation method. Some calcium precipitates were localized in the cytosol, nucleus, plastids, and vacuoles at an early developmental stage of normal fruits. Calcium precipitates were increased markedly on the plasma membrane during the rapid-fruit-growth stage compared with their level at the early stage. Cell collapse occurred in the water-soaked region at the rapid-fruit-growth stage in BER fruits. There were no visible calcium precipitates on the traces of plasma membrane near the cell wall of the collapsed cells. The amount of calcium precipitates on plasma membranes near collapsed cells was smaller than that in the cells of normal fruits and normal parts of BER fruits, and the amount on cells near collapsed cells was small. The amount of calcium precipitates on the plasma membranes increased as the distance from collapsed cells increased. On the other hand, calcium precipitates were visible normally in the cytosol, organelles, and vacuoles and even traces of them in collapsed cells. The distribution pattern of the calcium precipitates on the plasma membrane was thus considerably different between normal and BER fruits. On the basis of these observations, we concluded that calcium deficiency in plasma membranes caused cell collapses in BER tomato fruits.Correspondence and reprints: National Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science, National Agricultural Research Organization, Ano, Mie, 514-2392, Japan.     

Effects of foliar sprays containing calcium, magnesium and titanium on plum (Prunus domestica L.) fruit quality

An experiment was performed in which Ti⁴⁺-ascorbate was sprayed onto plum trees in several combinations with other commercial compounds containing Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ to study the effects on the commercial quality of fruits, with special focus on improving their resistance against postharvest handling damage.

All the treatments containing titanium increased the tree performance (branch elongation, flowering and fruit setting intensities) and fruit size. At harvest fruits from the Ti-treated trees showed improved resistance to compression and penetration, as well as a decrease in weight-loss during postharvest storage. A similar response was obtained for the external colour, though all the treatments seemed to delay somewhat the apparent ripening status. Nevertheless, the fruits from Ti-treated trees showed a better behaviour in the evolution of the colour parameters during storage than did the control fruits.

Titanium application significantly increased the calcium, iron, copper and zinc concentrations in peel and flesh. This improvement in the calcium absorption is explained as a consequence of the beneficial effect of titanium on the absorption, translocation and assimilation processes.
