• Cell wall metabolism in fruit softening and quality and its manipulation in transgenic plants (2001, background): “In unripe avocado fruit, polyuronides are highly methylesterified and resistant to attack by PG but become highly depolymerized late in ripening, and the degree of pectin methylesterification appears to entirely explain the limitations to PG activity early in ripening (Wakabayashi et al., 2000).”
