Physicochemical and molecular analysis of cell wall metabolism between two navel oranges (<i>Citrus sinensis</i>) with different mastication traits

Abstract

The present work showed that the inferior melting character of FJWC attributed to the lower WSP, higher TP or protopectins, higher cellulose and hemicellulose than those in the pulp of FJ72-1 at harvest time. Lower expression levels of PG, PME and Cel at harvest time might be associated with the inferior melting character.
