Irrigation with moderate salinity stress in a hydroponic system improves the inner and outer fruit quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon Mill. ‘House Momotaro’). We investigated the effects of 50 mM NaCl in a hydroponic solution on the levels of various metabolites, including soluble sugars, amino acids, and organic acids, and on the expression levels of salinity-responsive genes during fruit...

The whole, that which is compounded out of something, is one, not like a heap, but like a syllable. Now the syllable is not its elements; ba is not the same as b and a, nor is flesh the same as fire and earth (for when these are separated the wholes, i. e. the flesh and the syllable, no longer exist, but the elements of the syllable exist, and so do fire and earth); the syllable, then, is somet...

This response to Michael Stolberg argues that the occasional piece of evidence for sexual dimorphism in Renaissance anatomy does no damage to what I had earlier called the "one-sex model." There are three reasons for this: a considerable amount of such evidence had long been available; stray observations do not discredit worldviews; and new supporting evidence for the one-sex model was also ava...

Anthocyanins are a class of water-soluble flavonoids widely present in fruits and vegetables responsible for the red flesh formation peach fruit. Previously, several genes MYB family have been reported as transcriptional regulators anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway structural plants. In this study, through comparative transcriptome analysis white cultivars Harrow Blood Asama Hakuto, predicted tr...

Background: Quality and safety of potato is both cultivar postharvest management dependent. The precise assessment freshness are complex tasks requiring time-consuming, expensive, destructive techniques. Method: Potatoes from three commercial cultivars were stored for 5 months at °C. Color chlorophyll fluorescence recorded, Red-Green-Blue (R-G-B), Red-Green-Near infrared (R-G-NIR) Red-Blue-Near...

Table beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a source of the natural red-colored food dye (E162), highly demanded for broad spectrum its biological activity. The relevance this study dictated by lack knowledge about dynamics changes in crop’s betalain content during growing season, which impedes identifying optimal timing harvesting order to obtain dye. This paper presents results research into betacyanins...

<span lang="EN-US">Generally, chroma phase or hue offset issues within a scene are hard to detect, without reference context (i.e. some apriori<em> </em>knowledge about how certain objects the should actually<em> </em>appear in terms of their hue). Moreover, when it comes skin/flesh tones, deviation can be noticeable and markedly degrade viewer quality experience&l...
