Starch is the main form of carbon storage in bananas (Musa acuminata, cv. Nanicão) and β-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2) could contribute to starch mobilization during ripening by depolymerizing the α-glucan chains released by the endo-hydrolytic enzymes. This paper reports the cloning of a full-length β-amylase cDNA, along with the activity and expression profiles after treatment with ethylene or its antagonist 1-MCP. According to the results, banana β-amylase activity is highly correlated to a decrease in starch, being primary up-regulated by de novo synthesis. In fruit treated with 1-MCP the amount of β-amylase protein was almost undetectable, even though there was a strong induction of transcription, as a result of the recovering capability for autocatalytic production of ethylene.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
