The objectives of this study were to determine 1) the effectiveness of calcium chloride when injected later than 2 d postmortem, 2) the effect of extended postinjection aging time, and 3) the tenderness response curve in calcium chloride-treated beef. In Exp. 1, the longissimus thoracis et lumborum was injected on either d 2 or 14 postmortem with 5% by weight of a 200 mM calcium chloride soluti...

In the present investigation the effect of cobalt chloride (CoCl ), ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor and 2 silver nitrate (AgNO ), ethylene perception inhibitor was studied on the seed germination of Vigna radiata. 3 While ethylene slightly promoted germination, both the inhibitors decreased the germination percentage. However, Ag was more effective in retarding germination than Co . A combined ...

Abscisic acid (ABA) significantly stimulated ethylene production in citrus (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck, cv Shamouti orange) leaf discs. The extent of stimulation was dependent upon the concentration of ABA (0.1-1 milimolar) and the duration of treatment (15-300 minutes). Aging the discs before applying ABA increased ABA-induced ethylene production due to enhancement of both ethylene-forming en...

In some earlier papers (I , 2, 3) on the production of peritoneal transudates in rabbits by the intravenous infusion of large quantities of sodium chloride solution or of mixtures of a sodium chloride and calcium chloride solution, or of these solutions with the addition of adrenalin, we found that both calcium chloride and adrenalin increased the amount of peritoneal transudate. We pointed out...

A Plackett-Burman factorial design with 15 experiments was conducted to evaluate the influence of seven factors on lipases production by Fusarium solani. The investigated were peptone, tryptone, yeast extract, calcium chloride, potassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, and copper sulphate. Five fixed variables (cotton oil, pH, temperature, agitation, time) maintained as a response enzymatic activ...

Problem statement: Nephrolithiasis or renal stone disease remains a significant health problem in the adult population. Nephrolithiasis is a recurrent disorder prominent in males. It is significant medical and surgical problem because of incidence, recurrence and severe consequences. The present day medical management of nephrolithiasis is either costly or not without side effects. Invasive pro...

The sodium-coupled glucose transporter-1 (SGLT1)-based oral rehydration solution (ORS) used in the management of acute diarrhea does not substantially reduce stool output, despite the fact that glucose stimulates the absorption of sodium and water. To explain this phenomenon, we investigated the possibility that glucose might also stimulate anion secretion. Transepithelial electrical measuremen...

Ethylene production was stimulated severalfold during the hypersensitive reaction of Samsun NN tobacco to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Exogenous methionine or S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) did not increase ethylene evolution from healthy or TMV-infected leaf discs, although both precursors were directly available for ethylene production. This indicates that ethylene production is not controlled at ...

in this experiment, effects of three polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) on postharvest life of plum fruit cv. ’shablon‘were studied. fruit was dipped in solution of polyamines with 1 and 2 mm and distilled water (control) for 5 min in a cold storage at 1.5±0.5°c and 80-85% rh. experiment was conducted in a factorial with a complete randomized design with 7 treatments and 6 storage...
