| Abstract | The [beta] subunit of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit polygalacturonase 1 is a cell wall glycoprotein that binds to and apparently regulates the catalytic PG2 polypeptide in vivo. [beta] Subunit and polygalacturonase 2 (PG2) expression have been investigated in both wild-type and ripening inhibitor (rin) mutant fruit. During fruit development and ripening, [beta] subunit expression was unrelated to expression of the catalytic PG2 protein. In wild-type fruit, [beta] subunit mRNA and protein were first detected early in development and increased to maximal levels before PG2 mRNA and protein were detected. At the onset of ripening [beta] subunit mRNA decreased dramatically, but [beta] subunit protein levels remained stable. In rin fruit, which fail to ripen, [beta] subunit expression was similar to that in wild type, although PG2 mRNA and protein were not detected. These data suggest that [beta] subunit expression is ethylene independent and regulated primarily by developmental cues. This conclusion is supported by results from ethylene-treated immature (20 days after pollination) wild-type and rin fruit in which no significant differences were observed in [beta] subunit expression patterns in response to ethylene treatment. Surprisingly, RNA blot analysis indicated that catalytic PG2 mRNA was induced in immature rin fruit after 3 d of exogenous ethylene treatment. In addition, [beta] subunit mRNA and protein were also detected at lower levels in root, leaf, and flower tissues of both genotypes, suggesting a broader functional role for the protein. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
