Abstract excerpt
Fruit ripening in tomato is a highly coordinated developmental process accompanied with fruit softening, which is closely associated with cell wall degradation and remodeling. Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs) are known to play an essential role in cell wall xyloglucan metabolism. Tomato XTH5 exhibits xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (XET) activity in vitro, but the understanding of its biological...
