The circadian clock serves to coordinate metabolism and physiology with the diurnal cycles derived from daily rotation of earth. In Brassicaceae, rhythms contribute temporal variation in diverse phytochemicals and, hence, both resistance biotic stress edible crop health value. Understanding specialized metabolites present Brassica crops can improve selection future breeding strategies. this rev...

Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound capable of inducing physiological and metabolic changes that enhance the tolerance plants to saline stress associated with using hydroponic system enable use water in semi-arid regions. In this context, assay aimed evaluate impact foliar application SA on mitigating salt effects Japanese cucumber cultivated system. The experiment was carried out protec...

Ethylene regulates many processes in plant growth, development, and senescence. Two enzymes, ACC synthase and ACC oxidase, are responsible for ethylene biosynthesis from its precursor S-adenosyl Met (Yang and Hoffman, 1984), and blocking the synthesis of these enzymes in antisense RNA experiments results in reduced ethylene synthesis (Hamilton et al., 1990; Oeller et al., 1991). Functional iden...

an analysis of the stages of crop growth presents an important step in the improvement of production management. through growth analysis, planning for planting systems, fertilization, pruning operations, harvest time as well as obtaining economical yield can be more accessible. therefore, a development of mathematical models simulating plant growth would be helpful in improving crop management,...

Optical sensor data can be used to determine changes in anthocyanins, chlorophyll and soluble solids content (SSC) apple production. In this study, visible near-infrared spectra (729 975 nm) were transformed SSC values by advanced multivariate calibration models i.e., partial least square regression (PLSR) order test the substitution of destructive chemical analyses through non-destructive opti...

Sweet cherry, a non-climacteric fruit, is usually cold-stored during post-harvest to prevent over-ripening. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of abscisic acid (ABA) on fruit growth and ripening of this fruit, considering as well its putative implication in over-ripening and effects on quality. We measured the endogenous concentrations of ABA during the ripening of sweet cherries (Pr...

MANAGEMENT of post-harvest residues, produced during the green-cane harvesting of sugarcane in Louisiana, has become an increasingly important issue for producers, particularly in areas where burning of the residues is banned or restricted. If the residues, which range from 4–8 tonnes per hectare, are not removed prior to the emergence of the subsequent ratoon crop in the spring, yields may be ...
