Symplasmic Plastidial Catabolism

from The Free Bin

The gang shares some random facts! Abe Lincoln makes a Mai Tai. A fish waits in a Slovakian bathtub. Jason waits at the bottom of a lake. The sun explodes. A bloody text message arrives in Sweden. A banana glows. Napoleon is routed. A switch on an amplifier ignites controversy. In this episode: Tiessen A. (2018). The fluorescent blue glow of banana fruits is not due to symplasmic plastidial catabolism but arises from insoluble phenols estherified to the cell wall. Plant science : an international journal of experimental plant biology, 275, 75–83. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plantsci.2018.07.006 "The Great Standby Switch Myth" (from Sweetwater Sound)
