Metabolomics approach for phenolic compounds profiling of soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruit during postharvest storage.

Introduction: Soursop (Annona muricata L.) is a crop with medicinal properties and numerous bioactive compounds. Ripening is a complex process that regulates fruit quality and changes in metabolite content, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and organic acids.

Bacillus mojavensis enhances the antioxidant defense mechanism of soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruits during postharvest storage.

Rapid softening of soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruit results in postharvest losses. Bacillus genus is one of the most studied antagonistic biological control agents against postharvest diseases.

Transcriptome Analysis of Soursop ( L.) Fruit under Postharvest Storage Identifies Genes Families Involved in Ripening.

Soursop ( L.) is climacteric fruit with a short ripening period and postharvest shelf life, leading to a rapid softening. In this study, transcriptome analysis of soursop fruits was performed to identify key gene families involved in ripening under postharvest storage conditions (Day 0, Day 3 stored at 28 ± 2 °C, Day 6 at 28 ± 2 °C, Day 3 at 15 ± 2 °C, Day 6 at 15 ± 2 °C, Day 9 at 15 ± 2 °C).

Growth Promoting Activity of L. Leaf Extracts on .

Soursop leaves are a source of phytochemical compounds, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, hydrolyzable tannins, and acetogenins. These compounds can have several types of biological activities. Lactic acid bacteria can uptake phenolic compounds present in plants or fruits.

Differential Responses of Antioxidative System during the Interaction of Soursop Fruits ( L.) and at Postharvest Storage.

Soursop fruit ( L.) production is diminished by the attack of pathogens such as . However, the fruit-pathogen interaction at the biochemical and molecular levels is still unknown.

Functional analysis of tomato rhamnogalacturonan lyase gene Solyc11g011300 during fruit development and ripening.

Rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) is a domain of plant cell wall pectin. The rhamnogalacturonan lyase (RGL) enzyme (EC 4.2.

Functional analysis of a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) rhamnogalacturonan lyase promoter.

The enzyme rhamnogalacturonan lyase (RGL) cleaves α-1,4 glycosidic bonds located between rhamnose and galacturonic acid residues in the main chain of rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I), a component of the plant cell wall polymer pectin. Although the mode of action of RGL is well known, its physiological functions associated with fruit biology are less understood. Here, we generated transgenic tomato plants expressing the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene under the control of a -504 bp or a -776 bp fragment of the promoter of a tomato RGL gene, Solyc11g011300.
