When harvesting Lycium barbarum L., excess amounts of detachments the half-ripe fruit, unripe flowers, and leaves significantly affect yield adversely subsequent processing, such as drying grading. Finite element method (FEM) simulations experiments were performed to harvest more ripe fruit less leaves. Three-dimensional (3D) models leaves, calyxes (flower calyx), stems stem), branches construc...

The use of natural products as medicinal agents presumably predates the earliest recorded history. Ocimum sanctum L., is a plant which is used in several traditional medicine systems to cure various diseases. In this study aerial parts of Ocimum sanctum were collected on august 2014 from Shahr-e-Rey in Iran. Fresh and dry partsof plants essential oils were extracted with hydro-distillation and ...

The present study was undertaken to develop potassium management recommendations that maximize yield and post harvest quality of tomato. Studies were conducted at Faculty of Agriculture, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, KPK, Pakistan during 2008-2009. A pot experiment was designed, which included six potassium fertilizer treatments (75, 150, 225, 300, 375, 450 Kg K2O ha ) with basal doses of...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the physical-chemical and physiological changes during maturation fruits seeds P. peruviana determine best stage for harvesting in Brazillian semi-arid conditions. were collected at five stages based on color epicarp: 1: light green fruit; 2: yellowish-green; 3: yellow with area that connects calyx; 4: yellow; 5: yellowish-orange. Physical phy...

INTRODUCTION This paper attempts to verify the anatomical veracity of the belief that in order to enter into a posterior calyx one must aim for the medial calyx during a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). METHODS Volume rendered and maximum intensity projection reconstructions of normal pelvicalyceal systems were assessed in various rotational planes. An experienced urologist decided the ap...

Marine sponges harbouring uncultured symbiotic bacteria are important sources of biologically active compounds. Since they would be interesting resources to explore unknown functional genes by means of a metagenomic approach, we constructed a metagenomic library of the Japanese marine sponge Discodermia calyx. The functional screening afforded the two clones producing porphyrins as red pigments...
