Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a worldwide problem for wheat production and transgene antisense-thioredoxin-s (anti-trx-s) facilitates outstanding resistance. To understand the molecular details of PHS resistance, we analyzed the metabonomes of the transgenic and wild-type (control) wheat seeds at various stages using NMR and GC-FID/MS. 60 metabolites were dominant in these seeds including suga...

Methyl bromide is a widely used fumigant for both pre-plant and post-harvest pest and pathogen control. The Montreal Protocol and the US Clean Air Act mandate a phase-out of the import and manufacture of methyl bromide, beginning in 2001 and culminating with a complete ban, except for quarantine and certain pre-shipment uses and exempted critical uses, in January 2005. In 1995, ARS built on its...

In four tests conducted in loamy-sand soils in northern Florida, cotton lint yield increased and post-harvest soil populations of Meloidogyne incognita were more effectively suppressed by 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) than aldicarb when both nematicides were evaluated over a range of recommended rates. Significant positive relationships existed between lint yield and rates of 1,3-D in three tests...

some yeast species play important roles in biological control of some fruits’ post harvest infections. for instant, candida, rhodotorula and pichia species employed in biological control of such post harvest diseases as blue mold (penicillium expansum), and also grey mold (botrytis mali) in apple. species identification of yeasts is some most essential part of the related research activities. d...

Trials were conducted to determine effects of AQUI-STM sedation during harvest (rested-harvest) on physiological responses and fillet quality of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Rested-harvest is defined as application of an anesthetic immediately before harvest to reduce fish activity associated with a normal harvest. Doses of 25–35 ppm AQUI-STM were effective for rested-harvest of catfis...

Post-harvest fungi attacks in storage can reduce the quality of Arabica coffee. The study aimed to determine level infection and types post-harvest coffee beans their quality. research was carried out at Phytopathology Laboratory Plant Pests Diseases Department Seed Technology Agronomy Department, Agriculture Faculty, Universitas Andalas, Padang, from June August 2021. detected using blotter me...

Iron biofortification of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is a promising approach to combat iron deficiency (ID) in the millet-consuming communities of developing countries. To evaluate the potential of iron-biofortified millet to provide additional bioavailable iron compared with regular millet and post-harvest iron-fortified millet, an iron absorption study was conducted in 20 Beninese women...
