Intact wild-type tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Moneymaker) seeds do not complete germination to the same percentage or at the same speed as intact ABA-deficient sitiens (sit") mutant seeds when seeds of both genotypes are imbibed on polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions of -0 .3 to —1.5 MPa osmotic potential. However, if the thicker testas of wild-type seeds are removed (stripped) from the ...

it is well known that sugar beet is sensitive to salinity stress at the germination stage. three separate experiments were conducted to study the effects of salinity on seed germination, plant establishment, and yield of sugar beet genotypes for screening purposes. these included: (a) a laboratory study using four water salinity levels (with ec values < 0.1 as the control, 16, 20, and 24 ds m-1...

Different soil management systems can change the sugarcane yield and quality parameters for sugar/ethanol production. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects subsoiling on inter-row ratoons after second harvest productivity technological quality. Productivity estimated in tonnes per hectare (TSH), were apparent sucrose percentage (Pol) total sugar recoverable (TRS). measured hectare...

A reduction of the blood sugar content, analogous to that produced by insulin, was noted by Blotner and Murphy (1) after administration of whole liver and certain of the liver fractions ineffective in the treatment of pernicious anemia. Fractions G, an effective liver extract prepared by Cohn and his collaborators (2), appeared to contain little if any blood sugar reducing substances. An observ...

Methods: Sucrose detection thresholds in 7to 14-year-old children were tested individually using a validated, two-alternative, forced-choice, paired-comparison tracking method. Five genetic variants of taste genes were assayed: TAS1R3 and GNAT3 (sweet genes; one variant each) and the bitter receptor gene TAS2R38 (three variants). All children were measured for body weight and height. A subset o...

This study aimed to optimize and validate an analytical methodology for determination of 1hydroxypyrene in urine of workers involved in harvesting sugar cane. The method used for determining 1hydroxypyrene in human urine is the enzymatic hydrolysis, extraction and clean-up by solid phase extraction (SPE) and quantified by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC ...

Efficient enzymatic syntheses of isosteric phosphono analogues of sugar nucleotides have been accomplished using a thymidylyltransferase.

This paper presents the results of studies made on the blood sugar content of human beings subjected to the different influencing fact.ors incidental to surgical procedures of various kinds. The series of studies made offers an opportunity for comparing the results obtained in human beings with those obtained on animals. In the studies made by means of animal experimentation, it has been found ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of lime application on the mass and sugar losses reduction from 2004 to 2005 in karaj. four lime concentrations of 0, 3, 4 and 5 percent (factor a) and storage durations of 30 and 60 days (factor b) were arranged as factorial experiment in rcbd with four replications. the commercial variety of shirin was drilled in early may and storage roots w...
