This review of simple indolizidine and quinolizidine alkaloids (ie, those in which the parent
bicyclic systems are in general not embedded in polycyclic arrays) is an update of the …

In a globalized economy, the control of fruit ripening is of strategic importance because
excessive softening limits shelf life. Efforts have been made to reduce fruit softening in …

Cell wall is a strong and complex net whose function is to provide turgor, pathogens attack
protection and to give structural support to the cell. In growing and expanding cells, the cell …

As a part of the study to explore the possible strategy for enhancing the shelf life of mango
fruits, we investigated the changes in biochemical parameters and activities of ripening …

Excessive softening of fruits during the ripening process leads to deterioration. This is of
significant global importance as softening-mediated deterioration leads to huge postharvest …

N-glycans and N-glycan processing enzymes are key players in regulating the ripening of
tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruits, a model for fleshy fruit ripening. β-DN …

α-Mannosidase (α-Man), a fruit ripening-specific N-glycan processing enzyme, is involved in
ripening-associated fruit softening process. However, the regulation of fruit-ripening specific …

Endophytes play an important role in shaping plant growth and immunity. However, the
mechanisms for endophyte-induced disease resistance in host plants remain unclear. Here …

Proteomic analysis of the stigmatic exudate of Lilium longiflorum and Olea europaea led to
the identification of 51 and 57 proteins, respectively, most of which are described for the first …

Momordica charantia seeds contain a galactose specific lectin and mixture of glycosidases.
These bind to lectin-affigel at pH 5.0 and are all eluted at pH 8.0. From the mixture, α …
