Combined spraying of gibberellin (GA) and prohydrojasmon (PDJ) was an effective method to prevent the physiological disorder peel puffing in citrus fruit. However, GA PDJ combined treatment inhibited carotenoid biosynthesis during fruit ripening process, which led mature with poor color. In present study, improve coloration PDJ-treated fruit, effects postharvest treatments two auxins, indole-3-...

Abstract The planting of new types table citrus is an interesting alternative for growers in the state Paraná, as this domestic market continues to grow and needs innovation. Thus, aim study was evaluate acceptance storage a hybrid region Londrina / PR, Fremont IAC 543 mandarin (Citrus clementina hort. ex Tan x C. reticulataBlanco). Treatments were: fruits with without wax coating at room tempe...

This paper studied the similarity and dissimilarity for stress patterns between standard and various dialects of Mandarin, focusing on pitch and duration pattern comparison. We analyzed the distribution, pitch and duration patterns for stressed dissyllabic words in Cantonese, Cantonese-spoken Mandarin and Standard Mandarin. For isolated dissyllabic words, it was shown that there was a preferenc...

Previous research has mainly considered the impact of tone-language experience on ability to discriminate linguistic pitch, but proficient bilingual listening requires differential processing of sound variation in each language context. Here, we ask whether Mandarin-English bilinguals, for whom pitch indicates word distinctions in one language but not the other, can process pitch differently in...

This study compared tone sensitivity in monolingual and bilingual infants in a novel word learning task. Tone language learning infants (Experiment 1, Mandarin monolingual; Experiment 2, Mandarin-English bilingual) were tested with Mandarin (native) or Thai (non-native) lexical tone pairs which contrasted static vs. dynamic (high vs. rising) tones or dynamic vs. dynamic (rising vs. falling) ton...

This study investigated the effects of two parameters (i.e., interruption rate, and duty cycle of interruption) on the perception of periodically interrupted Mandarin speech. Normal-hearing listeners were instructed to identify consonant/vowel/tone/word from isolated Mandarin words and recognize Mandarin sentences when they were temporally interrupted by square wave. Results showed that consist...

Present research investigation was aimed at morphological and biochemical assessment of Passiflora quadrangularis L. commonly known as giant granadilla locally called vegetable squash grown crop by the Adi tribe Arunachal Pradesh. Seven genotypes collected during survey were characterized for different traits. Results showed that average fruit weight 432.57g/fruit, with juice content 100.11 mL/...
