Banana ‘Cavendish’ and avocado are grouped into climacteric fruits perishable in nature after harvest. The facts that both harvested when they still green make difficulties detecting fruit maturities. This occurs because the harvest criteria carried out physically, where with same physical may have different levels of physiological maturity. Thermal image (TI) is a non-invasive, non-contact non...

Studying changes in plant canopy can help to improve architecture and increase yields. Specifically, for sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), characterizing identifying relevant traits be helpful not only its productivity but better fit this crop the rotation from a system perspective. With purpose, morphological characteristics of 20 hybrids were measured during 2022 growing season Wamego, KS, U.S. (...

Aim of this experiment is to study the impact irrigation techniques on microclimate wheat crop in terms temperature and humidity. Randomized block design used (Triticum aestivum L.) variety Karan Narendra (DBW 222) at research farm ICAR-CSSRI, Karnal during Rabi 2021-22. In conventional practice treatment, higher fluctuation was observed 0.5-1°C cooler as compared other plots. Drip treatment sh...

Loss of pancreatic β-cell maturity occurs in diabetes and insulinomas. Although both physiological and pathological stresses are known to promote β-cell dedifferentiation, little is known about the molecules involved in this process. Here we demonstrate that activinB, a transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)-related ligand, is upregulated during tumorigenesis and drives the loss of insulin expres...

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that root morphology might be improved and consequently contributing to superior post-heading shoot growth and grain yield in late-stage vigor super rice. A pot experiment was carried out to compare yield attributes, shoot growth and physiological properties and root morphological traits between a late-stage vigor super rice cultivar (Y-liangyou 087) and ...

Research in preventive nutrition aims at elucidating mechanism by which our diet helps us to remain in good health through optimal physiological functions. However, despite decades of accumulated data in human nutrition and regular subsequent nutritional recommendations, obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics continue to progress worldwide each year leading to a regular decrease of the Healthy L...

Agaricus subrufescens Peck is a basidiomycete with immunomodulatory compounds and antitumor activities. This research evaluated the mycochemical composition of A. subrufescens, considering their morphological and physiological stage of maturity, with a particular focus on the development of a traceability process for the formulation of new nutritional products based on fungal foods. The stipes ...
