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 Regulation of Wound-Induced 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Synthase Activity and Gene Expression in Mesocarp Tissue of Winter Squash Fruit by Carbon Dioxide and Diazocyclopentadiene"
Mathooko, Francis; Ono, Tetsu; Kubo, Yasutaka; Inaba, Akitsugu; Nakamura, Reinosuke (Africa Jounals Online, 2001)Ethylene biosythesis in higher plants induced by various stimuli may be regulated by several factors, among them ethylene action inhibitors. This study investigates the regulation of wound-induced ethylene production, ... -
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 ... -
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. ...
