alpha-l-Arabinofuranosidase from strawberry fruit : cloning of three cDNAs, characterization of their expression and analysis of enzymatic activity in cultivars with contrasting firmness
Softening of fleshy fruits during ripening is associated to catabolism of cell wall components. In strawberry, pectin degradation, as well as loss of neutral sugars (mainly arabinose), increases during ripening, and probably contributes to fruit softening. In this work, we report the activity of alp...
