Disassembly of the fruit cell wall by the ripening-associated polygalacturonase and expansin influences tomato cracking

Disassembly of the fruit cell wall by the ripening-associated polygalacturonase and expansin influences tomato cracking

Crop genetics: Keeping tomato skins together Researchers in the USA reveal a link between cell wall composition and splitting skin in ripe tomatoes, known as cracking. To unravel the mechanism behind cracking, a team led by Elizabeth Mitcham of the University of California, Davis, compared wild-type...
