Vacuolar processing enzymes (VPEs) have received considerable attention due to their caspase-1-like activity and ability to regulate programmed cell death (PCD), which plays an essential role in the development of stenospermocarpic seedless grapes ovules. To characterize VPEs and the relationship between stenospermocarpic grapes and the VPE gene family, we identified 3 Vitis vinifera VPE genes ...

Abstract The present study was conducted with the objective of utilizing new varieties guava (BAARI Payera-4) fruit in production carbonated drinks and also evaluation different properties such as physico-chemical sensory characteristics respect to juice concentrations (10%, 15%, 20% juice) TSS (10°, 12° 15° Brix), respectively. This variety is selected for preparation because its refreshing ac...

The seedless barberry, ‘Bidaneh,’ is one of the most important cultivated small fruits in Iran. This cultivar propagated only by suckers, and so, establishment large-scale orchards not...

Previous research in our lab first established a determinative role for a genetically regulated process of programmed cell death (PCD), in the leaf scorch and cane death symptoms in Pierce’s disease (PD) and then developed a functional screen for PCD-suppressing plant genes from a cDNA library of grape genes. The functional screen identified six candidate DNA sequences potentially able to suppr...
