摘要

This article examines biochemical alterations and gene expression changes during tomato fruit physiology. The chroma index increases from mature green (41.27) to red ripe (48.36) stages, and the texture softens from mature green (43.56 N) to red ripe (24.75 N). Reducing sugar and total carotenoid levels rise at the red ripe stage. Free radical content was elevated in the early stages (7 nM) of ripening and declined at the later stages (4 nM). The specific activity of α-mannosidase and β-N-acetyl hexosaminidase was high at the breaker (0.077 & 0.075 U/mg, respectively) stages, while polygalacturonase activity was high at red ripe (1.173 U/mg) stage. qPCR experiments revealed that the α-mannosidase was upregulated during the breaker (1.2 fold) stages of tomato ripening, the β-N-acetyl Hexosaminidase was upregulated throughout the breaker (2 fold), and pink (1.2 fold) stages of tomato ripening, and the β-xylosidase was upregulated significantly during the breaker stage (3.9 fold) of tomato ripening. The current findings revealed that the α-Mannosidase (0.77), β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (0.99), xylosidase (0.85), ethylene-responsive factors (0.86), aminocylco propane carboxylic oxidase (0.90), and pectin methylesterase (0.83), were significantly associated with textural softening. Polygalacturonase (0.75) positively correlated to reducing sugar formation, aminocylco propane carboxylic synthase 4 (0.96) expression correlates with chroma changes during tomato fruit ripening. These correlations illustrate the complex interplay between gene expression and the physical and biochemical changes occurring during tomato fruit ripening.
