the different factors such as harvest time, product handling, temperature and storage duration can be influenced on the different properties of citrus fruits and has considerable economic consequences. therefore a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replications was performed to evaluate the effects of harvest times (start of color change, 50% of color change and f...

a completely randomized design (crd) with three replications was conducted at greenhouse of urmia university in 2013 to study the effect of different methyl jasmonate concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.5 mm) on the activity of enzymes polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase and total protein content in basil. activity of the enzymes and tot...

quality and flesh colour characteristics of blood oranges following harvest is related to and dependent upon temperature and storage conditions. to investigate the effects of different temperatures (8, 15 and 22ºc) and different storage period (0, 25, 50 and 75 days) on total soluble solids, titrable acidity, ph, ascorbic acid, total phenolic contents, antioxidant capacity, anthocyanin level, a...

6-methyl-2-phenyl-7h-oxazolo [3,2-b] [1,2,4] triazine (1) undersent ting transformation on treatment with ammonia and primary amines to afford the corresponding imidazol [1,2-b][1,2,4] triazine (2). treatment of (1) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding 3-aryl-4h-1,2,4- triazino [4,3-b][1,2,4] triazin-8 (1h)-one (3).

L-Phenylalanine is one of the essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in mammals in adequate amounts to meet the requirements for protein synthesis. Fungi and plants are able to synthesize phenylalanine via the shikimic acid pathway. L-Phenylalanine, derived from the shikimic acid pathway, is used directly for protein synthesis in plants or metabolized through the phenylpropanoid pathw...

Pond aquaculture is the major freshwater aquaculture method in China. Ammonia-oxidizing communities inhabiting pond sediments play an important role in controlling culture water quality. However, the distribution and activities of ammonia-oxidizing microbial communities along sediment profiles are poorly understood in this specific environment. Vertical variations in the abundance, transcriptio...

The internal rotation in ammonia borane (AB) was studied on the basis of natural orbitals for chemical valence (NOCV) and eigenvectors for Pauli repulsion (NOPR). We found that the total hyperconjugation stabilization (ca. 5 kcal mol(-1)), based on the charge transfer from the occupied σ (B-H) orbitals into the empty σ*(N-H), slightly favors the staggered conformation over the eclipsed one; how...

Atmospheric ammonia (NH3) has great environmental implications due to its important role in ecosystem and global nitrogen cycle, as well as contribution to secondary particle formation. Here, we report long-term continuous measurements of NH3 at different locations (i.e. urban, industrial and rural) in Shanghai, China, which provide an unprecedented portrait of temporal and spatial characterist...

To assess nickel-induced toxicity in plants, Zea mays seeds were germinated and cultured on nutrient solution with nickel concentrations of 50-200 μM for a period of two weeks. Observed biological makers included biomass, soluble and total protein contents, and the activities of guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in the l...

In order to study on different methods of application of polyamines (putrescine, spermine, spermidine) on some morphological, physiological, enzymatic and vase life of Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Dolce Vita’, experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 32 treatments, 3 replicates and each replication containing 5 vases, a total of 480 vases were executed.
