“…The short-term accumulation of this stress metabolite at elevated CO 2 in response to 1-MCP , and the long-term accumulation in non-1-MCP-treated fruit in response to elevated CO 2 (Fig. 4) are consistent with previous reports of GABA accumulation in bulky fruits (Merodio et al 1998;Makino et al 2008;Biais et al 2010;Deewatthanawong et al 2010b;Mae et al 2012;Deyman et al 2014b). Enhanced GABA levels occur in 1-MCP-treated 'Empire' apples within 15Á20 wk of storage at 38C, 2 kPa O 2 , 2 kPa CO 2 and coincide with onset of flesh browning (Lee et al 2012).…”

“…Evidence is available for GABA accumulation in the early phase of CA storage when disorders are absent. This includes CA-stored lettuce (Ke et al 1993), and fruits of tomato (Makino et al 2008;Deewatthanawong et al 2010b;Mae et al 2012), cherimoya (Merodio et al 1998) and melon (Biais et al 2010) during the first few days of exposure to elevated CO 2 . In broccoli florets treated with 20 kPa CO 2 for 1 wk, a twofold increase in free amino acid concentration, comprised mostly of GABA, precedes the appearance of discoloration disorders (Hansen et al 2001).…”

. 2015. Controlled atmosphere-related injury in 'Honeycrisp' apples is associated with g-aminobutyrate accumulation. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 879Á886. 'Honeycrisp' apples (Malus )domestica Borkh.), including fruit treated with the ethylene antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), can be susceptible to controlled atmosphere (CA)-related injury of the flesh tissue during storage. To better understand the biomarkers associated with this physiological disorder, we compared the temporal responses of the universal stress signature, g-aminobutyrate (GABA), and visual symptoms of CA-related injury in apples subjected to elevated CO 2 . Fruit were treated with or without 1-MCP prior to CA [2.5 kPa O 2 , 5 (elevated) or 0.03 (ambient) kPa CO 2 ] storage at either 3 or 208C for up to 24 wk. At 208C, 1-MCP-treated apples displayed symptoms of CA-related injury by 3 wk of elevated CO 2 storage; a similar 15% disorder incidence was apparent by 6 wk in non 1-MCP-treated fruit. A maximal incidence of 30% for this disorder occurred after 24 wk at 38C in fruit held at elevated CO 2 , regardless of 1-MCP treatment. At 208C, GABA levels were 48% higher within 6 wk of the transfer of 1-MCP-treated fruit to elevated CO 2 . At 38C, a 2.6-fold increase in GABA level occurred by week 6 of elevated CO 2 storage, and was maintained for an additional 18 wk thereafter; a similar change in GABA level was apparent in non 1-MCP-treated fruit, albeit delayed until week 18 of storage. These findings indicate that shifts in GABA are associated with the onset of visual symptoms of CA-related injury in 'Honeycrisp' fruit in response to elevated CO 2 , regardless of 1-MCP.Key words: g-aminobutyrate, apple, controlled atmosphere, controlled atmosphere-related injury, 1-methylcylopropene Chiu, G.

“…GABA concentrations may also depend on food storage and processing. Makino et al (2008) recently showed that GABA levels in tomatoes can be increased by storing under adjusted aerobic atmospheres. Microbial fermentation augments GABA in tea (Jeng et al, 2007) and in sour dough (Rizzello et al, 2008), and it has been suggested for application in dairy and other products (Park and Oh, 2007).…”

“…The second metabolites have been demonstrated to be accumulated in some plants, by stimulating the activity of enzymes [31]. Germination has been reported to stimulate the production of second metabolites in some cereal seeds such as buckwheat [32]. Seed priming is a promising treatment to improve the rate and uniformity of germination and is associated with increase of enzyme activity in rice seed germination [33].…”

Acid α-galactosidase is involved in D-chiro-inositol accumulation during tartary buckwheat germination

et al. 2015

Tartary buckwheat seed and especially its sprouts are rich in D-chiro-inositol (DCI). The research was to evaluate when DCI was most accumulated in tartary buckwheat sprouts. In addition, we explored the activity and expression pattern of α-galactosidase during tartary buckwheat seed germination. The results showed that DCI contents steadily increased at early stage of germination and reached the highest level of 33.42 µg/seed at 24 h during the 72 h trail. However, the total fagopyritol contents sharply decreased from 214.6 µg/seed to 46 µg/seed at the end of the germination. The activity of acid α-galactosidase increased gradually to the peak of 0.36 nkat/seed at 24 h after the primed seed imbibition. We cloned the gene fragment of α-galactosidase in tartary buckwheat for the first time. The deduced amino acid sequence is 93% identical to that of P. vulgaris. The quantitative PCR result of gene expression pattern was consistent with its enzyme activity during seed germination.
