This paper presents the pathological and biochemical changes among the freshly harvested potato tubers, freshly harvested infected tubers, cold stored healthy tubers and cold stored rotted tubers. In the study, fresh and infected samples of potato tubers were taken from the farmer’s field to understand the pathological and biochemical diversity. After the examination, potatoes were kept in the ...

Although many studies of ectothermic vertebrates have documented compensatory changes in cold hardiness associated with changes of season, much less attention has been paid to adjustment of physiological functions and survival limits following more acute exposure to cold. We investigated the ability of hatchling painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) to increase cold hardiness in response to brief e...
