This study aims to evaluate the pomological and physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activity phenolic profile of three cultivars hawthorn. A total nine compounds were identified in C. orientalis subsp. fruits by using RP-HPLC-DAD system. These comprised acids (i.e., gallic, chlorogenic, caffeic, syringic p-coumaric acids) flavonoids catechin, epicatechin, rutin procyanidin-B2). The maj...

The duration of dormancy regulates seasonal timing in many organisms and may be modulated by day length and temperature. Though photoperiodic modulation has been well studied, temperature modulation of dormancy has received less attention. Here, we leverage genetic variation in diapause in the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella, to test whether gene expression during winter or following spr...
