Abstract excerpt
Changes in the cellulose-hemicellulose fraction take place during ripening of strawberry fruit and are associated with the activity of a set of proteins and hydrolytic enzymes. Expansins are proteins located in the cell wall with no catalytic activity. In this context, FaEXPA1 was previously reported to have a high accumulation rate during fruit ripening in three different strawberry cultivars. In order to...
