Descrição bioquímica e fisiológica da maturação dos frutos de tomateiro
Palavras-chave:
amadurecimento dos frutos, atividade respiratória, produção de etileno, pectinametilesterase e poligalacturonase, mudança bioquímica no amadurecimentoResumo
Tomato plants, cv. Veegan, were grown in a greenhouse. Uniform production of fruits per plant was attained by restricting the fruit load per cluster. The fruits were picked at various intervals after anthesis from 10-110% of development. Fruit respiration and ethylene evolution were determined daily. The respiratory peak and ethylene production tend to occur at different times after harvest.
