Transcriptome-Guided Identification of Pectin Methyl-Esterase-Related Enzymes and Novel Molecular Processes Effectuating the Hard-to-Cook Defect in Common Bean (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.)

The hard-to-cook defect in common beans is dictated by the ability to achieve cell separation during cooking. Hydrolysis of pectin methyl-esters by the pectin methyl-esterase (PME) enzyme influences cell separation. However, the contributions of the PME enzyme and the cell wall to the hard-to-cook d...
