Daily cycles of light and darkness also promoted maintenance of glucosinolate content during post harvest storage of cabbage . Total glucosinolate content in the cabbage leaf disks stored under light/dark cycles remained stable with no significant fluctuation in levels over the 21 days of analysis . In comparison to total glucosinolate levels in light/dark-stored cabbage, the …

However, the production of H2O2 and phenolic compounds, and higher PPO activity in the translucent tissue were detected specifically in the VB tissues, not in other living non-VB cells after chilling . These data indicated that IB did not randomly occur in any living parenchyma cell but is specific to the phloem. Therefore, if the …

There are striking examples in tomato and other plants where identified genes regulate the development of fruit shape. For example, the OVATE gene in tomato regulates the phenotypic transition from round to pear-shaped fruit . If large-effect mutations underlie differences in strawberry fruit shape, the ordinal classification system proposed here should enable the discovery of …

New LED exit signs are inexpensive, with prices typically starting at around $20. The U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR program website provides a list of suppliers of LED exit signs. Tritium exit signs are an alternative to LED exit signs. The advertised lifetime of these signs is around 10 years and prices typically start at around $150 …

In the absence of a steam trap maintenance program, it is common to find up to 15% to 20% of steam traps malfunctioning in a steam distribution system . Energy savings for a regular system of steam trap checks and follow-up maintenance is conservatively estimated at 10% . One industrial case study indicates a payback …
Decide if you need to apply by noting the amount of insect and disease damage during the previous growing season. Treat at the onset of dormancy in late November until delayed dormancy, just before buds begin to open in February or early March. The exact timing during the dormant period can vary depending on the disease …
The SlIMP3 has potential as an important candidate gene for molecular breeding with the goal of improving shelf-life of tomato fruit. Interestingly, treating tomato fruits with myoinositol also improved cell wall bio-genesis, delayed softening, and extended shelf-life in fruits. Litchi fruit lost less water after myoinositol treatment . Collectively, all these results demonstrate that myoinositol has …
The Cnr mutation is also thought to be a gain of function mutation, although the mechanism has yet to be understood . The Cnr mutation results from hypermethylation upstream of the gene near the promoter and has been shown to inhibit the genome-wide demethylation cascade associated with normal tomato ripening . Previously, these TFs were …

Using the number of cities in which a tephritid species has been detected as a proxy for area infested, figure 2a shows that in 1960 there were only two California cities in which tephritids had been detected . However, by 1970 the number of cities with a tephritid detection had increased to 13, by 1990 …
Taking dried peaches made without sulfur as an example, Salmonella survived the entire 180 days of storage with the final level of 4.38 ± 0.08 log CFU/g when the storage temperature was 5 °C. When the storage temperature was 20 °C, Salmonella fell below the limit of detection after 90 days of storage although they …
