introduction: this investigation was undertaken to examine the effect of 4centigrade degree temperature on development and implantation rate of mouse embryos. materials and methods: femal mice (4-6 week old) were induced to superovulate and were mated. two cell embryos were flushed from excited oviducts, 46 – 48 h after the infection of hcg, and were cultured to eight – cell stage in m16 medium...

background and objective: the current study was undertaken to check in vitro different characteristics of lactobacillus plantarum as potential probiotic. these characteristics include viability of probiotic and ph during cold storage, tolerance to acid and bile, and antibiotic resistance. material and methods: samples of yogurt were stored at 4°c and analyzed in time 0, 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days ...

Influences on viability and germination of seeds have been studied intensively for many years, particularly for the numer-ous commercially important agricultural, ornamental, and timber species. High germinating seed lots may differ substantially in field emergence when sown at the same time in the same field, and/or may differ in performance after storage in the same environment or transport t...

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...

Recent populations of the red sunflower seed weevil, Smicronyx fulvus LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), have been inconsistent or declining, particularly in North Dakota. Consequently, research on weevil biology, including development of resistant germplasm, has been limited. To determine whether cold storage of diapausing larvae could be improved, nonconstant temperature treatments (fluctua...
