Heritability of resistance to gummy stem blight (Didymella bryoniae (Auersw.) Rehm.) was measured in two diverse cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) populations [North Carolina elite slicer 1 (NCES1) and North Carolina wide base pickle (NCWBP)]. Heritability was estimated using parent–offspring regression and half-sib family analysis in North Carolina field tests during 1991 and 1992. NCES1 is a slic...

The skin before being tanned has a drawback that is it very easy to be attacked by microorganisms. Thus, necessary develop antimicrobial through the application of nanoparticles. Antibacterial and antifungal activities, contact angle, mechanical properties goat pickle leather after modification with silver nanoparticles methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) in situ ex method had been conducted. Silver ...

In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler PICKLE (PKL) determines expression of genes associated with developmental identity. PKL promotes the epigenetic mark trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) that facilitates repression of tissue-specific genes in plants. It has previously been proposed that PKL acts indirectly to promote H3K27me3 by promoting...

Fermented foods, which are widely consumed around the world, of great importance for human health. Standard production should be carried out in order to extend shelf life fermented products and increase their positive effects on Therefore, there is a need starter cultures that can used products. In this study, antifungal activity 9 yeast isolates, antibiotic resistance, growth at different temp...

Background: The pickle, a traditional fermented product, is popular among Iranians. Much research has been conducted worldwide on this food group. Due to a lack of related data in Iran, this study was conducted to isolate and identify dominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in pickles and salted pickles. Materials and methods: Seventy samples were collected from different regions of Iran. The isola...

The adaptation of CRISPR/Cas9 systems for pooled library genetic knockout screens in mammalian cells has substantially advanced the state of the art in human functional genomics. Screening panels of cell lines for genes whose knockout imposes a significant fitness defect has dramatically expanded our catalog of high-confidence essential genes, and has already proven useful in identifying tumor-...
