Combined treatment with gibberellin (GA) and prohydrojasmon (PDJ) is effective at reducing peel puffing in satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.). However, the effect of this on volatiles remains unknown. In mandarin, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) a key flavor compound. study, effects combined GA PDJ content volatiles, DMS, S-methylmethionine (SMM), precursor juice sacs were investigated. Mixtures (1,...

A colorimetric method is presented for the quanti tat ive determination of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in water, wort, and beer. The method is based on the formation of a complex between DMS and sodium nitroprusside. The DMS-sodium nitroprusside complex which is formed under alkaline conditions turns pink when the solution is acidified. The pink complex has an absorption maximum at 520 nm. Details o...

tomato is the most important agricultural crops in bushehr province. this experiment was conducted on a randomized complete block design (r.c.b.d.) with 15 treatments cultivars and 4 replications in the borazjan research station during two consecutive cropping seasons (1995-97) to find tomato cultivars with high yield and quality and suitable for the region. cultivars had been selected among 60...

Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) is an important compound in global atmospheric chemistry and climate change. Traceable international standards are essential for measuring accurately the long-term global trend in ambient DMS. However, developing accurate gas standards for sub-nanomole per mole (nmol/mol) mole fractions of DMS in a cylinder is challenging, because DMS is reactive and unstable. In this st...

We describe the important role that the conjectures and questions posed at the end of the two editions of Gerald Sacks’s Degrees of Unsolvability have had in the development of recursion theory over the past thirty years. Gerald Sacks has had a major influence on the development of logic, particularly recursion theory, over the past thirty years through his research, writing and teaching. Here,...

The concentrations of the volatile organic sulfur compounds methanethiol, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and the viable population capable of DMS utilization in laminated microbial ecosystems were evaluated. Significant levels of DMS and dimethyl disulfide (maximum concentrations of 220 and 24 nmol cm3 of sediment-1, respectively) could be detected only at the top 20 mm of the m...

Production and consumption of dimethylsulfide (DMS) were studied in surface waters of the northwest Atlantic between latitude 32° and 45° N during May 1998. The kinetics of DMS production by the whole planktonic community were studied in short-term (3 h) experiments using additions of dissolved dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSPd) (0 to 3000 nM). Measurements of DMS production and DMSPd consumpti...
