The chemical contituents are concerned in the quality of tomato fruit in respect to color, texture, flavor, nutritive value, and wholesomeness. In general, high sugar contents, redness of color, and firm texture are associated with prominence of rich flavor. Biochemical changes as influenced by gro~rth, maturation, and environment of tomato fruit are discussed.

Influence of lysine and zinc administration on lead-sensitive biochemical parameters and the accumulation of lead during exposure to lead were investigated in rats. The lead exposure inhibited blood δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydrogenase (δ-ALAD) activity, increased blood zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP), urinary δ-aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA), serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (AST), serum pyruvic...

Effect of hexane extract of Ferula jaeschkeana has been studied on the histological and biochemical constituents of the uterus of ovariectomized rats. Its administration caused remarkable increase in the height of luminal epithelium and the number of uterine glands. Its per se treatment also caused significant increase in the glycogen and protein contents and the activity of acid and alkaline p...

In the present study, bioaccumulation of REEs in Zea mays L. (corn plant) has been analyzed. The role of Rare Earth Element (REEs) in physiology and biochemistry of corn plant have been studied. Physiological characters like peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, biochemical analysis of chlorophyll, carotenoids and phenol contents have also been carried out. The plant growt...

Some physiological and biochemical changes were measured between embryogenic and non-embryogenic callus obtained from Cardiospermum halicacabum. Combination of auxin with cytokinin was more favourable for high amount of callus formation. 2,4-D played a key role in triggering somatic embryo formation. Embryogenic callus had more total carbohydrate and starch contents, total free amino acids, nuc...

Studies of human spatial behavior and life spaces are useful because they allow a better understanding of the relationship between people and environment. In an era when there is growing public pressure to understand this relationship, studies of life spaces may provide insight into the environmental sensitivity of different groups of people. In this article, we propose a method for characteriz...

This paper is the sequel of the paper [4], in which we established the arithmetic volume function of C-hermitian Q-invertible sheaves and proved its continuity. The continuity of the volume function has a lot of applications as treated in [4]. In this paper, we would like to consider its continuous extension over R. CONTENTS Introduction 1 1. A multi-indexed version of the fundamental estimatio...

An extension of Wetzel* s theory is proposed to explain electron precursor phenomena in pressure driven shock tubes. The theory is based on the assumption, which hae been experimentally verified, that radiation from the hot gas behind the shock front is responsible for the precursor effect. A point radiator, located at the shock front and moving with the shock velocity, is assumed. It is shown ...

A study was carried out to determine the effect of crude protein level in diets on Serum Biochemical Indexes and Gastrointestinal Micro flora of yellow quails. Four diets with different crude protein levels 17.75%, 19.95%, 21.85%, 24.08% were used to feed 192 yellow quails during 50-day-old to 95-day-old in this experiment. The quails were randomly assigned to 4 groups by similar body weight, e...

Pod shattering resistance index (SRI) is a key factor affecting the mechanical harvesting of rapeseed. Research on the differences in pod shattering resistance levels of various rapeseed varieties can provide a theoretical basis for varietal breeding and application in mechanical harvesting. The indicators on pod shattering resistance including pod morphology and wall components were evaluated ...
