Mannosyl- and xylosyl-containing glycans promote tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit ripening

Priem, B. | Gross, K.C.
The oligosaccharide glycans mannosyl alpha 1-6(mannosyl alpha 1-3)mannosyl alpha 1-6(mannosyl alpha 1-3)mannosyl beta 1-4-N-acetylglucosamine and mannosyl alpha 1-6(mannosyl alpha 1-3)(xylosyl beta 1-2)mannosyl beta 1-4-N-acetylglucosaminyl(fucosyl alpha 1-3)W-acetylglucosamine were infiltrated into mature green tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv Rutgers). Coinfiltration of 1 nanogram per gram fresh weight of the glycans with 40 micrograms per gram fresh weight galactose, a level of galactose insufficient to promote ripening, stimulated ripening as measured by red coloration and ethylene production.
