The aim of the study was to optimize ethylic fermentation process mucilage juice cacao by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. effected inoculating S. on 0.2 g activated yeast/liter for essay E1, and 0.5 yeast/L E2. Results reveal that increasing pH value in acidic zone raised rate inoculated with than g/L juice. amounts soluble extract transformed yield were greater (90.60%) E1 compared those E2 (8...

Perfect timing of germination is required to encounter optimal conditions for plant survival and is the result of a complex interaction between molecular processes, seed characteristics, and environmental cues. To detangle these processes, we made use of natural genetic variation present in an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Bayreuth × Shahdara recombinant inbred line population. For a detai...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Repair of damage to DNA of seed embryos sustained during long periods of quiescence under dry desert conditions is important for subsequent germination. The possibility that repair of embryo DNA can be facilitated by small amounts of water derived from dew temporarily captured at night by pectinaceous surface pellicles was tested. These pellicles are secreted during early se...

Compared with bulk soil, rhizosphere has different properties because of the existence root mucilage, which affects physical, chemical, and microbial processes. The slow response to changes in water potential buffers content leads be wetter than soil during drying. By affecting connectivity liquid gas phases, mucilage can also influence solute transport diffusion. Overview literature previous m...

Abstract Aims High viscosity, low surface tension and hydrophobicity are specific properties of maize root mucilage which contribute to modulate the spatial configuration liquid phase in soil pores. Several processes rhizosphere, particularly nutrient absorption, exudation microbial activity, may cause strong temporal variations chemistry solution rhizosphere. Although physical have been repeat...
