Patterns of enzymatic activity of cell wall-modifying enzymes during growth and ripening of apples (2007, background): “…reported and 84 for some families, the activity fluctuations have been mea- 85 sured during fruit growth (Vincken et al., 1998) or ripen- 86 ing (reviewed by Johnston et al., 2002), although no work 87 has investigated a set of enzymatic activities together using 88 the same biological material.”
Md-ACS1 and Md-ACO1 genotyping of apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) breeding parents and suitability for marker-assisted selection (2008, background): “Many environmental factors, horticultural practices, and storage regimes can modify fruit softening behavior; however, a strong genetic basis exists as firmness at harvest and/or after storage varies greatly among cultivars (Saftner et al. 2002; Johnston et al. 2002).”
