Phenolic extraction parameters and effects of wet and dried pomegranate peel were studied, aiming to increase the extraction sustainability with reduced cost. The chemical characteristics of the extracted components were also evaluated. The study in Chapter 3 investigated the potential of developing functional food fortified with a value-added ingredient from pomegranate peel extract, specifically Greek …

This strain has enabled the high production of multiple molecules of interest
A recent study utilized an industrially scalable delivery of self-replicating viral vectors to transform a variety of crop species, such as tomato, potato, and spinach, with successful alterations to reproduction, stature, and drought tolerance . This method could befurther developed for the introduction of biosynthetic pathways for bio-active phytochemicals into single generations of crop species. Advancements …

It is noteworthy that DEET per se is an oviposition deterrent
We then tested how CquiOR21 would respond to other commercially available repellents, i.e., PMD, IR3535, and picaridin. In these new preparations, CquiOR21/CquiOrcoexpressing oocytes responded to DEET and IR3535 with dose-dependent outward currents . Picaridin elicited minor outward currents at lower doses but robust outward currents at 1 mM dose. By contrast, PMD did not elicit …

Using log predicted the data better than establishment time as linear predictor
Coinfection by two genetically different isolates together in the same plant has been documented before , and there are reports of artificial mixed infection of a vector and of a single vector being able to transmit all four subspecies of X. fastidiosa . Moreover, it was shown that isolates from two different subspecies can cause disease …
