Mitochondria from grape berries were extracted and purified in order to examine
mitochondrial activity with respect to anaerobiosis and ethanol concentration. Malate and …

Active mitochondrial preparations obtained from grapefruit throughout the growing season
were shown to be capable of oxidizing intermediates of the citric acid cycle. The appearance …

A number of factors in the isolation of good quality mitochondria from tomato fruit wall tissue
have been critically examined. Particles from tomatoes at a number of stages during …

The metabolic changes of mature grape berries during periods of anoxia and upon return to
air were examined using two cultivars. Glutamate declined during anoxia, together with a …

The properties of mitochondria from ripening fruits have been studied by several workers in
an effort to account for the climacteric rise in respiration (8, 15, 20). The climacteric rise in …

Mitochondrial fatty acid composition and mitochondrial antioxidative metabolism were
studied in relation to chilling injury (CI) in the fruit pulp of two pineapple (Ananas comosus) …

One theory on the mechanism of chilling injury of tropical and subtropical fruits is that
aerobic respira tion is impaired at chilling temperatures and injury occurs from consequent …

Fruit ripening is a genetically programmed process which leads to an assortment of
physiological and metabolic changes that irreversibly alter its characteristics. Depending on …

In studying metabolic processes in mitochondria isolated from fruits we were guided by the
dual objective:(a) the characterization of the biochemical reactions, and (b) the search for a …

The presence of enzymes of the ascorbate–glutathione cycle was studied in mitochondria
purified from green and red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) fruits. All four enzymes …
