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 ...
Molecular basis of cell wall degradation during fruit ripening and senescence

Owino, Willis O; Ambuko, Jane L; Mathooko, Francis M (Stewart Postharvest Review, 2005)

Purpose of review: This review highlights progress made in the recent past in understanding the molecular basis of cell wall changes during fruit ripening and senescence. Recent findings: Gene expression studies in several ...
