Transcription start site (TSS) evolution remains largely undescribed in Drosophila, likely due to limited annotations in non-melanogaster species. In this study, we introduce a concise new method that selectively sequences from the 50-end of mRNA and used it to identify TSS in four Drosophila species, including Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, D. sechellia, and D. pseudoobscura. For verifi...

A detailed study was carried out with the postharvest mangoes (namely, the Langra and the Khirshapat) treated with different levels of Bavistin DF (BDF) solution (namely, 250, 500, and 750 ppm) for obtaining results on biochemical changes as well as storability of postharvest mango. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replicates. The results of the experim...

Background: Edible coating is an effective and widely used approach for preservation of quality fruits. The physiological changes remain intact with edible that leads to maintain the nutritional quality. current study endeavor develop appropriate material may be applied over fruits as freshness indicators. Methods: Chitosan nanoemulsion was prepared ultrasonication guava samples were dipped in ...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective observational study. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of tandem spinal stenosis (TSS) in patients with cervical myelopathy including ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine (C-OPLL). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Concurrent cervical and lumbar spinal canal stenosis is generally reported as TSS. Mos...

This study was conducted on the interactive effects of Coating Methods (CM) and Storage Periods (SP) on Nantes carrot during ambient storage at temperature of 25°C and 65% relative humidity. Four CM [Carboxy Methyl Cellulose + Cellophane Film (CMC + CF), Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC), Cellophane Film (CF) and No-Coating (NC)] and five SP (0, 4, 8, 11 and 14-days) were investigated for some qua...

Sweet cherry is one of the most appreciated fruit by consumers since it is an early season fruit and has an excellent quality. In this study effect of active nano composite formed from chitosan (as a matrix material), nano cellulose fiber (1% concentration) and Thyme oils (Tymus Vulgaris L) at 1% concentration on fruits quality was investigated. Treated fruits were stored at 1°C for 5 weeks and...

This paper aimed to evaluate the effects of storage periods on the conservation of Pachyrhizus ahipa roots at different temperatures and packaging materials. The roots were harvested, washed, packed in PVC, plastic bags, without wrappings (control) and stored in polystyrene trays in refrigerators, or cold chambers, or at room temperature. Total titratable acidity (TTA), total soluble solids (TS...

BACKGROUND Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a subtropical fruit with attractive characteristic of white to creamy semitranslucent flesh and red color in pericap, but it was easily subjected to the infection of Peronophythora litchii and lost its market values. Experiments were conducted to understand the effect of [Carbamic acid, (1,2,3-thiadiazole-4-ylcarbonyl)-hexyl ester, CTE] on the growt...

softening and microbial activity are the most common problems of kiwifruit during storage. in order to improve these problems, pre- harvest treatments of putrescine and spermidine were studied on shelf life of kiwifruit cv. hayward. foliar spraying of different concentrations of purescine (0, 1 and 2 mm) and spermidine (0, 1 and 2 mm) has been done at 40 and 20 days before harvest. different ch...

a study of two years was carried out on apples, red delicious cv. in comeh of semirom region. the objective of this research was to assess the effect of pre-harvest calcium phosphate (seniphos) spraying and summer pruning on the skin color and quality characteristics of the fruit. study was carried out using a complete randomized block design with 3 replications. trees were subjected to pre-har...
