Cover Caption: The Ripening of Kiwifruit
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. See pp. 933–941 for more details. Photo taken by Dr. Zhong-Hui Zhang (Wuhan Botanical Garden, CAS) shows the variation of kiwifruits (cover design: Ying Wang).
