Polyamines induced by hot water treatments reduce chilling injury and decay in pepper fruit
Treatment of peppers with hot water (53°C) for 4 min was found to be effective in alleviating chilling injury and reducing decay after 14 and 28 days of storage at 8°C. Treatment at 45°C for 15 min was less effective in maintaining pepper quality during storage. Packaging with low density polyethylene film significantly reduced weight loss and chilling injury during low temperature storage. Low...
متن کاملSeed Number and an Asymmetry Index of 'McIntosh' Apples
In ‘McIntosh’ apples (Malus domestica Borkh.), the number of well-formed seeds and the number of fertilized ovules (well-formed plus aborted seeds) were correlated to yield an index of asymmetry for individual fruit. In spite of different flowering and pollination conditions in 1990 and 1991, the index of asymmetry decreased curvilinearly with increases in the number of well-formed seeds and of...
متن کاملInvolvement of polyamines in the chilling tolerance of cucumber cultivars.
The possible involvement of polyamines (PAs) in the chilling tolerance of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv Jinchun No. 3 and cv Suyo) was investigated. Plants with the first expanded leaves were exposed to 3 degrees C or 15 degrees C in the dark for 24 h (chilling), and then transferred to 28 degrees C/22 degrees C under a 12-h photoperiod for another 24 h (rewarming). Chilling-tolerant cv Jinch...

متن کاملPurification and characterization of galactinol synthase from mature zucchini squash leaves.
Galactinol synthase catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of raffinose sugars. Previous attempts to purify the enzyme have proven difficult and have resulted in low quantities of unpurified enzyme. Galactinol synthase was purified 752-fold from mature zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L. cv Burpee Hybrid) leaves using sequential liquid chromatography on DE 52, Octyl-Sepharose CL-4B, and...
