[A protein inhibitor of polygalacturonase in apple fruits treated with aminoethoxyvinylglycine and cobalt chloride].
Ethylene evolution changes were monitored during storage of apple fruits (Malus domestica Borkh., winter variety Mantuanskoe) treated with aminoethoxyvinylglycine and CoCl2. The storage of fruits was shown to be accompanied by changes in the activity of a protein inhibitor of polygalacturonase (PIPG). This inhibitor has been previously isolated from apple fruit tissues. The protein inhibitor of polygalacturonase was also shown to inhibit the activity of an enzyme produced by certain nonpathogenic fungi. The role of PIPG in apple fruit resistance to these fungi is discussed.
