Cover Caption: Textural changes during the ripening determine the shelf life of fruits. Kiwifruit softens during ripening, which is accompanied by cell-wall swelling. Xyloglucan (XG) is one of the cell-wall polymers, and its depolymerization is implicated as an early process in ripening-associated cell wall disassembly. After extensive removal of symplastic starch, the XG is partially purified from hemicellulosic II fractions. XG is strongly associated with glucomannan and arabinoxylan.
