Pink rib discoloration or pinking in the midribs of lettuce ( Lactuca sativa ) leaves is a stress-induced disorder that leads to crop loss worldwide. Maintaining recommended field and postharvest conditions reduces its incidence but does not eliminate issue. During past decade, research has identified tolerance this among types cultivars grown cooler climates. However, pink humid subtropical cl...

introduction water vapor is an essential climate element. through latent heat exchanges, the water vapor is considered as the principal way of energy transport through the global atmosphere and it is also a dominant greenhouse gas (held and soden, 2000). over the oceans, warmer surface temperatures may lead to increased evaporation and, therefore, greater specific humidity, but an approximately...

Activities of NAD(+)-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), sorbitol oxidase (SOX), sucrose synthase (SS), acid invertase (AI), and neutral invertase (NI) in 'Encore' peach (Prunus persica L.) fruits and developing shoot tips were assayed during the growing season to determine whether carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes could serve as indicators of sink strength. In fruit flesh, SS activity was ...

The combination of natural environment changes and human activities affects the growth grasslands. In order to quantitatively assess causes spatial temporal variation grasslands in Xilingol, this study assessed evolution patterns grassland health based on MOD13A1 long time series Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from 2000–2019 using trend analysis. geodetector model was used e...
