ABA signalling manipulation suppresses senescence of a leafy vegetable stored at room temperature

ABA signalling manipulation suppresses senescence of a leafy vegetable stored at room temperature

Postharvest senescence and associated stresses limit the shelf life and nutritional value of vegetables. Improved understanding of these processes creates options for better management. After harvest, controlled exposure to abiotic stresses and/or exogenous phytohormones can enhance nutraceutical, organoleptic and commercial longevity traits. With leaf senescence, abscisic acid (ABA) contents p...

Efficacy of ε-Poly-L-lysine as an Antibacterial Additive for Platelets Stored at Room Temperature

Bacteriology of unheated expressed breast milk stored at room temperature.

Thirty samples of unheated expressed breast milk (EBM) from thirty lactating mothers, stored at room temperature (RT) and in the refrigerator (at +4 degrees C), were examined for the degree of bacterial contamination at two hourly intervals upto eight hours. All the EBM samples contained bacteria, mostly of normal skin flora; Staphylococcus albus 76.7%; Streptococcus viridans 40%. Potential pat...

Efficacy of latanoprost when stored at room temperature.

We compared the ocular hypotensive effect for 24 hours and the tolerability of latanoprost stored at 4 degrees C and 30 degrees C. Seventeen healthy volunteers were included in this crossover trial. Latanoprost 0.005% (Xalatan) was stored at 4 degrees C or 30 degrees C for 4 weeks in the dark. The subjects enrolled to the study were randomly assigned to receive either latanoprost stored at 4 de...

Atom manipulation on an insulating surface at room temperature.

Atomic manipulation enables us to fabricate a unique structure at the atomic scale. So far, many atomic manipulations have been reported on conductive surfaces, mainly at low temperature with scanning tunnelling microscopy, but atomic manipulation on an insulator at room temperature is still a long-standing challenge. Here we present a systematic atomic manipulation on an insulating surface by ...
