Isolation and expression of two pectate lyase genes during fruit ripening of banana (<i>Musa acuminata</i>)

Two cDNAs, designated MWPL1 and MWPL2, encoding putative pectate lyases (Pel; EC 4.2.2.2), which catalyze the cleavage by β ‐elimination of α ‐1→4‐linked galacturonosyl residues of pectins found mostly in middle lamella and primary cell wall in plants, were isolated from ripening fruit of banana ( M...
