At Krymsk Experiment Breeding Station of VIR, as a result collecting, studying, and selective use myrobalan plum genetic diversity, the intraspecific taxonomy species Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. was clarified. Donors traits significant for breeding were identified and, with their use, adaptable cultivars plum, Russian clonal rootstocks stone fruit plants developed. Intraspecific classification P. i...

Anthocyanins are important pigments and are responsible for red coloration in plums. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying anthocyanin accumulation in plum fruits. In this study, the RNA-seq technique was used to analyze the transcriptomic changes during fruit ripening in the red-fleshed plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cultivar 'Furongli'. Over 161 million high-qualit...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that acupuncture can alleviate the symptoms of Tourette syndrome (TS), but the evidence is insufficient. So far, there have been no reports on plum-blossom needle therapy for TS. Here we present a protocol for a randomized controlled trial using plum-blossom needle therapy to treat TS. METHODS/DESIGN Sixty patients will be randomly allocated into eit...

A male patient aged 50 years presented to the emergency department with a complaint of dysphagia after ingestion of a whole plum without chewing. His history revealed a diagnosis of schizophrenia 15 years ago. This was the patient’s second presentation to hospital with this complaint. At the first-step hospital, his relatives and the physicians did not believe the patient due to his schizophren...

Genetically modified pigs that express fluorescent proteins such as green and red fluorescent proteins have become indispensable biomedical research tools in recent years. Cell or tissue transplantation studies using fluorescent markers should be conducted, wherein the xeno-antigenicity of the fluorescent proteins does not affect engraftment or graft survival. Thus, we aimed to create a transge...

APPROACH Traditional approaches to the problem of extracting data from texts have emphasized hand-crafted linguisti c knowledge. In contrast, BBN's PLUM system (Probabilistic Language Understanding Model) was developed as par t of an ARPA-funded research effort on integrating probabilistic language models with more traditional linguisti c techniques. Our research and development goals are : • m...

Acrylamide concentrations in prune products--baby strained prunes (range = 75-265 µg kg(-1)), baby apple/prune juice (33-61 µg kg(-1)), prune juice (186-916 µg kg(-1)) and prunes (58-332 µg kg(-1))--on the Canadian market were determined. The formation of acrylamide in a simulated plum juice was also investigated under 'drying conditions' in an open vessel at temperatures <100°C for 24 h and un...

in this research, the production of plum pastille-like with starch and gelatin was studied. thirteen formulation of plum pastille-like were prepared according to a second-order composite rotatable design (with five central points). response surface methodology (rsm) was used to optimize product formulation with: gelatin concentration ranging from 3.85 to 6.925 % (w/w), and starch concentration ...

The ability to dynamically adapt an unstructured mesh is a powerful tool for solving computational problems with evolving physical features; however, an eecient parallel implementation is rather dii-cult. To address this problem, we have developed PLUM, an automatic portable framework for performing adaptive numerical computations in a message-passing environment. PLUM requires that all data be...
