Post-harvest spoilage of Amla fruits is one the major problems which reduces economic quality fruits. The goal present study was to identify post-harvest fungal pathogens associated with based on morphological and molecular characteristics, growth characteristics fungi, their eco-friendly control measures. fungi were identified as Penicillium rolfsii Thom., herquei Bainier & Sartory, Aspergillu...

abstract reduction of post harvest losses in cut flowers and increasing their vase life, with consideration to high expenses of production is very necessary. one of the effective factors is presence of flowers near each other. this study was performed to investigate the interaction of some important cut flowers on their post harvest characteristics in vase solution (in combination or alone) in ...

The ascorbate content declined rapidly in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) florets, but not in the stem tissue, during post-harvest senescence. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX), ascorbate oxidase (AO), l-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GLDH), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and glutathione reductase (GR) were investigated in gene expression a...

Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...

Phytopathogenic fungi responsible for post-harvest diseases on fruit and vegetables cause important economic losses. We have previously reported that harmol (1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-7-ol) is active against the causal agents of green and gray molds Penicillium digitatum and Botrytis cinerea, respectively. Here, antifungal activity of harmol was characterized in terms of pH dependency and ...

Globally, soybeans are grown to meet the needs for animal and human nutrition, oil extraction, use in multiple industrial applications. Decades of soybean research, innovative farming methods, higher yielding resistant seed varieties have led increased crop yields. producers utilized enhanced processing methods produce nutritious high-quality meal extracted feed within food industry. Soybeans c...
