Metabolism of Stone Fruits: Reciprocal Contribution Between Primary Metabolism and Cell Wall.

ABSTRACT: Cell wall turnover and modification in its composition are key factors during stone fruit development and patterning. Changes in cell wall disassembly and reassembly are essential for fruit growth and ripening. Modifications in cell wall composition, resulting in the formation of secondary cell walls, are necessary for producing the most distinctive trait of drupes: the lignified endocarp. The contribution of primary metabolism to cell wall synthesis has been investigated in detail, while the knowledge on the contribution of the cell wall to primary metabolites and related processes is still fragmented. In this review, starting from peculiarities of cell wall of drupes cells (in mesocarp and endocarp layers), we discuss the structure and composition of cell wall, processes related to its m
