background and objectives: apple is the most important horticultural crops that is allocated large share of world trade in agricultural products. principles of sustainable fruit production systems are based on optimal use of natural resources (light, water, soil fertility) where the input (labour, energy, fuel, other material) and output (yield) are well balanced and the resources remain renewa...

We are carrying out a research in the field of Human Computer Interaction and developing a natural language dialogue system in Hungarian. In the beginning chapters we briefly describe the architecture of our dialogue system, BotCom with examples of its semantic processing capabilities. We give examples of how the system is handling the topics of the discussion, how the dialogue history is being...

In the framework of searching for new pectin sources to partially compensate for domestic and regional demands, the peel (albedo) of the “non-comestible” fruit of Poncirus trifoliata was investigated using a relatively simple experimental design for optimization, in which only the variable was the extraction pH (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0) on the basis of our previous studies on diverse pectin sources. ...

We describe improvements to two databases that give access to information on genomic sequence similarities, functional elements in DNA and experimental results that demonstrate those functions. GALA, the database of Genome ALignments and Annotations, is now a set of interlinked relational databases for five vertebrate species, human, chimpanzee, mouse, rat and chicken. For each species, GALA re...

XGH (xylogalacturonan hydrolase; GH 28) is an enzyme that is capable of degrading XGA (xylogalacturonan), which is a polymer of alpha-D-galacturonic acid, highly substituted with beta-D-xylose. XGA is present in cell walls of various plants and exudates, such as gum tragacanth. XGA oligosaccharides were derived from an XGH digestion of gum tragacanth, then fractionated, and analysed for their s...

The article presents data on study of the productivity potato early ripening varieties (Legenda, Russia; Red Scarlet, Netherlands) and middle-early (Irbitskiy Gala, Germany) grown aeroponic installations in artificial lighting conditions: three-tier adaptive installation (“Syntol” production) single-tier produced by “Biological systems” plant. Potato plants were characterized active growth deve...

• Homogalacturonan pectins mainly inhibit TLR2-1. Pectins with a low DM or intermediate high DB inhibited TLR2-1 strongest. TLR2 bound strongest to an DB. inhibiting also IL-6 secretion from macrophages. have anti-inflammatory effects via Toll-like receptor (TLR) inhibition in degree of methyl-esterification-(DM)-dependent manner. However, vary distribution methyl-esters over the galacturonic-a...
