Cell wall disassembly in ripening fruit
Abstract
Fruit softening during ripening involves a coordinated series of modifications to the polysaccharide components of the primary cell wall and middle lamella, resulting in a weakening of the structure. Degradation of polysaccharides and alterations in the bonding between polymers cause an increase in cell separation and a softening and swelling of the wall, which, combined with alterations in turgor, bring about fruit softening and textural changes. A wide range in the extent of cell wall pectic modifications has been observed between species, whereas the depolymerisation of xyloglucan is relatively limited and more consistent. The earliest events to be initiated are usually a loss of pectic galactan side chains and the depolymerisation of matrix glycans, which may begin before ripening, followed by a loss of pectic arabinan side chains and pectin solubilisation. The depolymerisation of pectins may begin during early to mid-ripening, but is usually most pronounced late in ripening. However, some of these events may be absent or occur at very low levels in some species. Cell wall swelling may be related to a loosening of the xyloglucan–cellulose network and to pectin solubilisation, and these processes combined with the loss of pectic side chains increase wall porosity. An increase in wall porosity later in ripening may allow increased access of degradative enzymes to their substrates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
