Characterization of leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) activity in sweet pepper fruits during ripening and its inhibition by nitration and reducing events
Key messagePepper fruits contain two leucine aminopeptidase (
LAP ) genes which are differentially modulated during ripening and by nitric oxide. The...
