The present study was carried out to investigate the microbiological quality and incidence of pathogenic bacteria found in green chilli and cabbage from different shops in Dhaka city. A total of 20 samples, 10 green chillies (Capsicum annuum) and 10 cabbages (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) were randomly collected from 20 sampling sites in central Dhaka. The numbers of total heterotrophic bact...

Cabbages (Brassica oleracea L.) are an important vegetable crop around world, and cold temperature is among the most significant abiotic stresses causing agricultural losses, especially in cabbage crops. Plant bZIP transcription factors play diverse roles in biotic/abiotic stress responses. In this study, 119 putative BolbZIP transcription factors were identified using amino acid sequences from...

There are five discernible phases in the evolution of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme for the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in Malaysia, namely: 1) Initial phase; 2) Intensification phase; 3) Crisis phase; 4) Disaster phase; and 5) IPM phase. This outline enables an understanding of the genesis of a farmer first approach to IPM. All five p...

Anthocyanins are the chemical components that give the intense color to many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, red cabbages and purple sweet potatoes. Extensive studies have indicated that anthocyanins have strong antioxidant activities. To investigate the mechanism of anthocyanidins as an anticancer food source, six kinds of anthocyanidins representing the aglycons of most anthocyani...

Abstract The packaging industry is one of the most important parts agricultural products processing. A popular method increasing shelf life modified atmosphere (MAP). main objective this paper was to increase adaptability and flexibility machines for different vegetables including lettuces, broccolis, cabbages, cauliflowers, etc. To achieve goal, a supervisory control data acquisition (SCADA)-b...

Excess pesticide residues on cabbage are harmful to humans. In this study, we propose an innovative strategy for a quick and nondestructive qualitative test of lambda-cyhalothrin Chinese cabbage. Spectral profiles leaf samples with different concentrations surface were collected Agilent Cary 630 FTIR Spectrometer. Standard normal variate (SNV), multiplicative scatter correlation (MSC), principl...
