Advances in Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) Research

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polyphenol Oxidases (PPOs) in Plants

Abstract

The polyphenol oxidase (PPO) gene family has been extensively studied in Poaceae, Solanaceae, and other plant species in which the PPO activity impacts the economically important aspects like quality and disease resistance. As discussed earlier, plant PPOs exhibit large variability in their size, structure probably due to lineage-specific expansion, and gene loss (Tran et al. 2012). Surprisingly, no PPO genes have been reported in certain species like Arabidopsis thaliana. Though majority of plant PPOs show certain conserved features including dicopper center with six ligating histidine residues, N-terminal transit peptide and a C-terminal region, rare variants have also been reported (Tran et al. 2012). Below, latest developments in PPO research involving genetics, genomics, microRNAs, mutagenesis, and others are discussed.
