Characterization of Carbon Dioxide Stress-Induced Ethylene Biosynthesis in Cucumber {Cucumis sativus L.) Fruit
Mathooko, Francis M.; Inaba, Akitsugu; Nakamura, Reinosuke (JSPP, 1998)In the present study, we have investigated the mechanism through which carbon dioxide induces ethylene biosynthesis in cucumber {Cucumis sativus L.) fruit. A series of inhibitors were tested in order to determine the ... -
Differential expression of members of the β-galactosidase gene family during Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia L.) fruit growth and on-tree ripening
Tateishi, Akira; Nagashima, Kenji; Mwaniki, Mercy W.; Kubo, Yasutaka; Inaba, Akitsugu; Yamaki, Shohei; Inoue, Hiroaki (American Society for Horticultural Science, 2005) -
Expression Characteristics of CS-ACS1, CS-ACS2 and CS-ACS3, Three Members of the 1-AminocycIopropane-l-Carboxylate Synthase Gene Family in Cucumber {Cucumis sativus L.) Fruit under Carbon Dioxide Stress
Mathooko, Francis M.; Mwaniki, Mercy W.; Nakatsuka, Akira; Shiomi, Shinjiro; Kubo, Yasutaka; Inaba, Akitsugu; Nakamura, Reinosuke (Oxford University Press, 1999)We investigated the expression pattern of three 1-aminocydopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase genes, CS-ACS1, CS-ACS2 and CS-ACS3 in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruit under CO2 stress. CO2 stress-induced ethylene ... -
Expression of a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase gene in peach (Prunus persica L.) fruit in response to treatment with carbon dioxide and 1-methylcyclopropene: possible role of ethylene
Mathooko, Francis M.; Tsunashima, Yuki; Kubo, Yasutaka; Inaba, Akitsugu (2004)In this study we investigated the effect of exogenous ethylene treatment on ethylene production, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase activity and expression of an ACC oxidase (PP-ACO1) gene ... -
Inhibition of auxin-induced ethylene production in cucumber fruit discs by carbon dioxide
Mathooko, Francis, M; Kubo, Yasutaka; Inaba, Akitsugu; Nakamura, Reinosuke (Elsevier B.V., 2003-10-02)The induction of ethylene biosynthesis by indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and its regulation by CO2 was examined in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L., var. Sharp-1) fruit discs. Treatment of discs with IAA significantly stimulated ... -
Retention of Freshness in Fig Fruit by CO2-Enriched Atmosphere Treatment or Modified Atmosphere Packaging under Ambient Temperature
Mathooko, Francis M.; Sotokawa, Tetsuo; Kubol, Yasutaka; Inaba, Akitsugu; Nakamura, Reinosuke (THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE, 1993)At 20•C, freshness retention of figs (Ficus carica L. cv. Masui Dauphine) by CO2-enriched atmosphere treatment or modified atmosphere packaging were studied in an attempt to reduce deterioration during transportation. ...
