Expansins are cell-wall-localized proteins that induce loosening of isolated plant cell walls in vitro in a pH-dependent manner, but exhibit no detectable hydrolase or transglycosylase activity. Three putative expansin cDNAs, Vlexp1, Vlexp2, and Vlexp3 were isolated from a cDNA library made from mature berries of the Kyoho grape. Expression profiles of the 3 genes were analyzed throughout berry...

Berry fruits are recognized, worldwide, as "superfoods" due to the high content of bioactive natural products and the health benefits deriving from their consumption. Berry leaves are byproducts of berry cultivation; their traditional therapeutic use against several diseases, such as the common cold, inflammation, diabetes, and ocular dysfunction, has been almost forgotten nowadays. Nevertheles...

The phytochemical constituents which comprise many edible berry fruits have increasingly been linked to modulation of biomarkers associated with conditions of diabetes, overweight/obesity, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), all components of metabolic syndrome. While many wild berries have long been valued in traditional medicine as health protective, it is only recently that the ability of berr...

In the presence of spin-orbit coupling and inversion symmetry of the lateral confinement potential a single electron does not exhibit matrix Berry phases in quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots. In such a system we investigate whether many-body correlation effects can lead to finite matrix Berry phases. We find that the transformation properties of many-electron wavefunctions under ...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the physical changes of seven different colored table grape varieties in samples taken at periods until ripening time. The cultivars used study are Alphonse Lavallée, Royal, Tekirdağ Çekirdeksizi, Michael Palieri, Karaerik, Bilecik İrikara and Horoz Karası. Grape were harvested for four weeks (20.08.2019, 27.08.2019, 02.09.2019 09.09.2019) every week app...

A study was performed to determine the response and ability recover cultivar Storgozia after extreme meteorological phenomenon mesocyclone registered in May 2018, accompanied by intense hail hurricane wind. The damage impact on actual fertility elements, growing strength degree of shoots ripening, yield quantitative qualitative indicators, grape's chemical composition had been determined for ac...
