Carotenoids, which impart yellow, orange, and/or red colors to many fruits, have antioxidant health properties. A series of experiments were undertaken to establish horticultural relationships to carotenoids in watermelon and mango in cooperation with U.S. commodity boards. Watermelon was assayed to determine effects of germplasm, storage temperature, and fresh cut on lycopene and beta carotene...

Pre-embryogenic calli were obtained from the culture of fertilized immature ovules of muscadine ( Vitis rotundifolia Michx.) and seedless bunch grapes ( Vitis vinifera L.) on: 1) Murashige & Turcker (MT, 1969) basal medium supplemented with 4.4 μM 2, 4-D (2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and 1 μM BA (6-benzyladenine) with 6.0% (w/v) sucrose; 2) Chee and Pool (CP, 1978) basal medium supplemented...

Antioxidant potency of Indian grape cultivars varying in their skin color, seed and polyphenol content (Bangalore blue, Pandhari sahebi, Sharad seedless and Thompson seedless) and their components (whole grapes, pulp with skin and seeds) was examined as 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity using electron spin resonance spectrometry. The total polyphenols in Indian g...

Global warming will significantly affect grapevine growth and development. To analyze the effects of high temperature on leaf tissue structure grapevines in field, 19 representative cultivars were selected from germplasm resources garden Turpan Research Institute Agricultural Sciences, XAAS. Twelve indexes leaves, including thickness upper epidermis (TUE), palisade (TPT), vein (LV), spongy (TST...

In the first direction of this article, new Marhamat, Mustaqillik-18 and Jararik-12 varieties mulberry have economic value characteristics, such as leaf stem size, length, width, weight, net weight. addition, systems silkworms Liniya-101 Liniya-205 were cultivated with Tajik seedless mulberry. The second study was experiments on in vitro propagation tobacco, cost-effectiveness testing condition...

Abstract Grapes are important sources of phenolics, which recognized to possess high biological value. In this work, we evaluated the total phenol content (TPC), anthocyanin (TAC), antioxidant activity (AA) and volatile composition unstudied seedless table grape varieties (i.e., Autumn Crisp Pristine as white cultivars, Scarlotta Crimson red cultivars Adora Melody black cultivars). As a result,...

Let X/K be an absolutely simple abelian variety over a number field; we study whether the reductions Xp tend to be simple, too. We show that if End(X) is a definite quaternion algebra, then the reduction Xp is geometrically isogenous to the self-product of an absolutely simple abelian variety for p in a set of positive density, while if X is of Mumford type, then Xp is simple for almost all p. ...
