B-maturity: Factors Affecting Physiological Maturity

Preharvest factors affecting physiological disorders of fruit

Development of disorders during postharvest ripening and storage of fruit depends on a range of preharvest factors. The most obvious of these is maturity of fruit at harvest. However, a number of other factors may be just as important in ripening-related disorders and in determining how fruit respond to low temperatures or other imposed postharvest conditions. Fruiting position on the tree and ...

Physiological and Biochemical Factors Affecting Carotenoid Utilization in Salmonid Fish

Physiological and biochemical factors affecting carotenoid utilization in salmonid fish. Gregory Ian Page Carotenoid utilization in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo sa/ar L.) has been investigated with respect to tissue distribution of carotenoids and the role of the liver on the bioavailability of the lipid soluble carotenoids, astaxanthin and canthaxanthi...

Physiological factors affecting frequency and rate of lambing.

T WO factors affect lambing rate: (1) frequency of lambing and (2) number of lambs born per pregnancy. Certain individual ewes have given birth to live normal lambs three times within a 12-mo. period. I t is thus apparent that under proper physiological conditions two lambings a year are possible. When the physiological processes involved and their mechanisms of action are more adequately under...

Certain physiological factors affecting organochlorine pesticide metabolism in ovine females.

Twenty-eight crossbred 2-year-old ewes were used · to determine the effects of pregnancy and lacta­ tion on the body storage of DDT and dieldrin and on their elimination in milk. Pregnancy did not significantly affect total DDT degradation in ewes, but significantly affected dieldrin metaoo­ lism. Body fat from pregnant animals averaged higher in dieldrin concentration at parturition than did t...
