- Association PE activity per pear was positively correlated with total weight in 1962 (r = 0.93) in Pyrus communis.
- Association PE activity per pear was positively correlated with total weight in 1963 (r = 0.87) in Pyrus communis.
- Association PE activity in Pyrus communis was positively correlated with protein in 1962 (r = 0.84).
- Association PE activity in Pyrus communis was positively correlated with protein in 1963 (r = 0.91).
- Observation The amount of PE activity per gram fresh weight and per milligram protein in Pyrus communis decreased during maturation.
- Observation The specific activity of the enzyme in Pyrus communis decreased during maturation.
- Observation The percent recovery of PE in Pyrus communis decreased as the fruit matured and ripened on the tree.
- Intervention effect Polyvinylpyrrolidone in the extraction procedure counteracted the decline in PE recovery on ripening.
- Mechanism Small changes in PE activity could not account for the changes in pectin esterification in Pyrus communis.
- Observation PG assays on Pyrus communis gave variable results.
- Observation Weak PG activity was observed in the immature fruit of Pyrus communis in 1962 and 1963.
- Observation No PG activity was observed in Pyrus communis in 1966, even in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone.
