Comparison of cell wall chemical evolution during the development of fruits of two contrasting quality from two members of the Rosaceae family: Apple and sweet cherry

Pectic fractions soluble in water, oxalate, or hydrochloric acid were prepared from an alcohol-insoluble residue of cherry (Prunus avium L., `Bigarreau Napoléon') tissue. Galacturonic acid and neutral sugar contents were measured during the ripening and overripening of fruit. Fruit firmness was also determined. The changes occurring during fruit development gave prominence to three physiological stages and suggested the progressive degradation of the middle lamella and primary cell wall. The firmness measurement was related to the equilibrium between the relative parts of these pectic fractions.

Prunus Avium L

Proportions of cellular components in the midstylar transmitting tissue of Prunus avium L., sweet cherry, were determined using the point interception method on transmission electron micrographs. Changes were measured during the development of the style when comparing pistils collected 1 week before anthesis with unpollinated pistils at the anthesis stage. Transmitting tissue was also examined 20 h after cross- and self-pollination. The results illustrate complex patterns of cellular development including changes in vacuolation, cell wall – intercellular substances, and starch. Other cellular components were also quantified and are discussed. After pollination, further cell wall – intercellular substances increases occur but no differences were found between cross- and self-pollination.
