The effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially hydroxyl radical ((center dot)OH), on cellular wall disassembly in vitro and in vivo, and aril breakdown in longan fruit, were investigated. (center dot)OH caused the disassembly of cell wall material (CWM) in vitro, demonstrated by the increases of total sugars and uronic acid released, and the downshift in molecular mass of CDTA soluble pectin (CSP) and Na(2)CO(3) soluble pectin (CO(3)-SP). In addition, (center dot)OH resulted in decreased CO(3)-SP content and increased CSP content in CWM suspension, suggesting the conversion of CO(3)-SP to CSP. Application of exogenous (center dot)OH accelerated aril breakdown in longan fruit while the process was delayed by t-cysteine center dot HCl, a ROS scavenger. Furthermore, lower CWM content and decreased molecular mass of pectins were observed in (center dot)OH-treated fruit. These results indicated that (center dot)OH contributed to the degradation of cell wall polysaccharides, resulting in aril breakdown in longan fruit. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
