Abstract

A full-length cDNA clone encoding apple (Malus domesticus) polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was isolated from a fruit peel cDNA library. Southern analysis indicated that apple PPO is encoded by a divergent multigene family. By northern analysis, PPO mRNA was only detected in a fruit sample taken one week after full bloom. PPO mRNA accumulated in wounded tissues, and also in peel tissue showing the symptoms of superficial scald, a post-harvest disorder. The induction of PPO mRNA provides the first evidence for transcriptional control of PPO expression after wounding or the manifestation of a physiological disorder.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 June 2022.
All research outputs
#4,667,162
of 22,663,969 outputs
Outputs from Plant Molecular Biology
#390
of 2,841 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,122
of 76,076 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Molecular Biology
#18
of 71 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,969 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,841 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 76,076 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 71 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
