Oxidative stress responses during cassava post-harvest physiological deterioration

Oxidative stress responses during cassava post-harvest physiological deterioration

Post-harvest deterioration of cassava occurs rapidly and renders the crop unpalatable and unmarketable. This is attributable to oxidative burst, altered regulation of genes and accumulation of secondary metabolites. Interactions between these enzymes and compounds, together with other data, are used to develop a model of some the principal events involved in the deterioration process.
