‘Huangguan’ pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd. cv. Huangguan) is a widely planted cultivar in China. However, it susceptible to core browning after harvest. In this study, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) was applied at 200 mg L?1 one and two weeks prior harvest, its effects on fruit quality, ripening were investigated during storage ambient temperature (25 ± 1 °C). The results showed that there hig...

2014 A measurement of the 3 principal refractive indices of azoxy-4,4’ (di-undecyl 03B1-methyl cinnamate) is made in the vicinity of the 2nd order smectic-A to smectic-C phase transition. The experimental procedure is : first the index differences are measured using the conoscopic method, then the absolute value of one of the indices is determined using an Abbe refractometer. In the smectic-A p...

In the anhydrous salt formed from the reaction of morpholine with cinnamic acid, C4H10NO(+)·C9H7O2 (-), the acid side chain in the trans-cinnamate anion is significantly rotated out of the benzene plane [C-C-C- C torsion angle = 158.54 (17)°]. In the crystal, one of the the aminium H atoms is involved in an asymmetric three-centre cation-anion N-H⋯(O,O') R 1 (2)(4) hydrogen-bonding inter-action...

Potato soft rot, caused by the pathogenic bacterium Lelliottia amnigena (Enterobacter amnigenus), is a serious and widespread disease affecting global potato production. Both salicylic acid (SA) proline (Pro) play important roles in enhancing tuber resistance to rot. However, combined effects of SA Pro on defense responses tubers L. infection remain unknown. Hence, controlling newly emerging ro...

This study deals with synthesis of methyl cinnamate, butyl cinnamate, and p-methoxy methyl cinnamate and testing of their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial activity was examined towards 29 microorganisms using microdilution method. It is shown that antimicrobial activity of methyl cinnamate and p-methoxy methyl cinnamate was better than that of butyl cinnamate. Sarcina lutea, Bacil...
