Mature green tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv ;Rutgers') were infiltrated with 0.5 milliliters of sterilized, distilled water alone, or containing enough glucose or galactose to allow for a concentration of 400 micrograms per gram fresh weight after infiltration. All fruit showed a transient peak of ethylene production within 6 hours due to the slight wounding by vacuum infiltrati...

We have analyzed DNA methylation of plastid DNA from fully ripened red fruits, green mature fruits, and green leaves of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. Firstmore). Essentially identical restriction profiles were obtained between chromoplast and chloroplast DNAs by EcoRI digestion. BstNI/EcoRII and HpaII/MspI are pairs of isoschizomers that can discriminate between methylated and unmethylat...

There is a close relationship between the rate of the uterine cervix opening during parturition and the presence or absence of a completely ripened cervix. In order to learn the basic pattern of the ripening of cervix, histological and histochemical studies were performed on the human uterine cervix during pregnancy. It was noted that the collagen bundles disintegrated into fine fibers and also...
