Carbohydrate Changes during Maturation of Cucumber Fruit: Implications for Sugar Metabolism and Transport

Changes in the carbohydrate profiles in the mesocarp, endocarp, and seeds of maturing cucumber (Cucumis sativus, L.) fruit were analyzed. Fruit maturity was measured by a decrease in endocarp pH, which was found to correlate with a loss in peel chlorophyll and an increase in citric acid content. Con...
