Tomato fruits (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. Castlemart ) were collected from vines grown in the field at the University of California, Davis. Pericarp discs were cut from surface sterilized MG stage fruit (10). Droplets (10 n ) of test solutions (see below) were applied to the cut surface of discs and disc ethylene production was measured as described previously (11). The amounts of test materials used were based on colorimetric assay (6) of uronic acid content.

PI ant Material. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum. Mill, var Sunny) fruit were harvested from plants grown at the IFAS Horticultural Farm near Gainesville, FL. Fruit were selected at five stages of development immature green (undeveloped fruit, gel tissue firm), mature-green (gel formation initiated), turning, pink and ripe (red). Fruit were surface sterilized with 0.05 Na-hypochlorite and rinsed. Fruit were quartered, the pericarp and locular gel separated, and both stored at -20°C. 

The cDNA from N. plumbaginifolia was used to isolate cDNAs encoding ZE from pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Yolo Wonder) and from a wilt-related tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) (Bouvieret al., 1996, Burbidge et al., 1997). All three are members of the Solanaceae family. The N. plumbaginifolia ZE encodes a polypeptide of 663 amino acids with a mature protein estimated at 613 amino acids. As already noted, unlike the de-epoxidase, the native epoxidase has not been purified and therefore, the N-terminal amino acid has not been identified directly. The proposed N-terminal amino acid is based on a...

In nonlegumes, Mo deficiency hampers NOj" reduction and decreases the amounts of most amino acids. Addition of Mo to deficient plants has been found to increase the contents of glutamic acid, glutamine, a-alanine, serine, and aspartic acid in spinach Spinacea oleracea L.), cauliflower, tomato Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) (Mulder et al., 1959), and maize (Berducou and Mache, 1963). However, decreases in the contents of some amino acids and amides during later stages of growth of Mo-fertilized crops can result from their incorporation into proteins or from subsequent metabolic reactions such as transamination reactions or conversion to amides (Possingham, 1957).

The observation that molybdenum (Mo) uptake by plants decreases with increasing concentrations of sulfate was first reported for tomato plants Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) in solution culture (Stout and Meagher, 1948). Stout et al. (1951) confirmed that observation with tomato plants grown in tissue culture (Table 14.1) and with tomatoes and peas (Pisum sativum L.) in soil (Tables 14.2 and 14.3). They attributed the action of sulfate ions in suppressing Mo uptake to direct competition between two divalent anions of similar sizes.
