Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study is to investigate the chlorophyll catabolism pathway of wild-type red and stay-green mutants of Capiscum annuum (L.) fruits. In the wild-type red lines chlorophyll catabolism is concomitant with the start of carotenogenesis, whereas in the stay-green mutant lines the chlorophylls coexist with that process, even in over-ripe fruit. During the first stages of ripening, the chlorophyll...
