Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Tomato fruits were infiltrated with 4% calcium chloride to investigate the effect of calcium on polygalacturonase,lipoxygenase and expansin during tomato fruit softening. Results showed that lipoxygenase activity and LeLOXB expression were decreased obviously by calcium at the early stage,and that polygalacturonase activity and the expression of PG/LeEXP1 were inhibited at the late staget. The relationship between fruit softening and calcium, polygalacturonase,lipoxygenase, expansin was discussed.
