Treatment of parsley cell cultures with a fungal elicitor triggered the induction of a lipoxygenase isoform which may be involved in the de novo synthesis of defence-response inducers, such as jasmonic acid or 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid.

The University of Illinois’ Graduate School of Library and Information Science (uiucGSLIS) participated in TREC’s knowledge base acceleration (KBA) track in 2013. Specifically, we submitted runs for the cumulative citation recommendation (CCR) task. CCR is a type of document filtering. The use-case is that our user U is an editor of a node T in a knowledge base such as Wikipedia (for example, t...

Over half of global food waste occurs in retail and households, highlighting the importance improving shelf life. Many factors affect life, including storage temperature, harvest time, processing method, packaging. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), such as nitrogen (N 2 ), has been used to improve life produce. This study aimed determine effect nitrogen-enriched on greenhouse- garden-grown k...

The survival and growth of Listeria monocytogenes on fresh lettuce (Lactuca sativa), cucumber (Cucumis sativus) epidermis and parsley (Petroselinum sativum) under different relative humidity (RH) conditions and storage temperatures was studied. Inoculated vegetable pieces were stored at 10C for 7 days, 20C for 5 days, and 30C for 24 h, and at 53 and 90% RH. L. monocytogenes was enumerated perio...

Large and rapid increases in the activities of two enzymes of general phenylpropanoid metabolism, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and 4-coumarate:CoA ligase, occurred in suspension-cultured parsley cells (Petroselinum hortense) treated with an elicitor preparation from Phytophthora megasperma var. sojae. Highest enzyme activities were obtained with an elicitor concentration similar to that required...

Parsley is a plant widely used in cooking as condiment and it has potential for pharmaceutical use due to flavonoids production, including the apiin, which antioxidant activity. The current study investigates influence of N fertilization on biomass soluble fractions, total apiin parsley plants at 28 56 days after germination (DAG). experiment was carried out greenhouse under different levels: n...
