Mannosyl- and Xylosyl-Containing Glycans Promote Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Fruit Ripening

The oligosaccharide glycans mannosyl{alpha}1-6(mannosyl{alpha}1-3)mannosyl{alpha}1-6(mannosyl{alpha}1-3) mannosyl{beta}1-4-N-acetylglucosamine and mannosyl{alpha}1-6(mannosyl{alpha}1-3)(xylosyl{beta}1-2) mannosyl{beta}1-4-N-acetylglucosaminyl(fucosyl{alpha}1-3) N-acetylglucosamine were infiltrated into mature green tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv Rutgers). Coinfiltration of 1 nanogram per gram fresh weight of the glycans with 40 micrograms per gram fresh weight galactose, a level of galactose insufficient to promote ripening, stimulated ripening as measured by red coloration and ethylene production.
