during the recent decades, substantial changes are made in the borders and contents of physiology as a basic course for the students in medicine. here some strategies are presented to preserve the classical and integrative approaches in teaching physiology, while these approaches extent our knowledge to molecular, sub-cellular and cellular levels.

Lahlali, R., Brostaux, Y., and Jijakli, M. H. 2011. Control of apple blue mold by the antagonistic yeast Pichia anomala strain K: Screening of UV protectants for preharvest application. Plant Dis. 95:311-316. When applied preharvest, antagonistic yeasts that act as biocontrol agents of postharvest fruit diseases must survive the environmental conditions in the field. In particular, UV-B radiati...

Abstract Ozonated water has become an innovative, environmentally friendly tool for controlling the development of fungal diseases in vineyard or during grape postharvest conservation. However, little information is currently available on effects ozonated sprayings grapevine physiology and metabolism. Using microvine model, we studied transcriptomic response leaf fruit organs to this treatment....

The effect of postharvest application plant leaf powders on the physical quality and shelf life okra fruits during Storage in Makurdi was determined. Moringa Neem were used to coat fruits, which then kept at room temperature. experiment a 2 x 3 factorial combination treatments, fitted completely randomized design, replicated thrice. Data collected subjected Analysis variance (ANOVA) using GENST...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of 1-mcp and ethylene on extending the display quality and increasing vase life of cut carnation flowers in a completely randomized design with three replicationsat the laboratory of the postharvest physiology, tarbiat modares universityin 2014. first, cut flowers were treated with 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 µl l-1 of 1-mcp for 24 h and then exposed to...

Apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.), a kind of climacteric fruits, are favored by consumers for their flavor and texture, but they are highly perishable. Apricots soften rapidly after harvest. Once softened, they are easily damaged such as latent damage, which limits their marketing time [1, 2]. Therefore, a common practice for handling and storing apricots is early harvest and applying postharvest ...
