Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) cv. Yellow Candy flowers were treated with ethanol solution (4%) in the absence or presence of 1 or 10 mM L-methionine, or ethanol or acetaldehyde solution (0.05%), in the absence or presence of 1 mM aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC). Spermidine in petals was measured over time in flowers treated with 4% ethanol or distilled water. Ethanol treatment si...

Wewished to further understand Transnational Knowledge Transfer (TKT) in a not-for-profit context. To accomplish this, we explored, verified, and mapped out the key factors affecting TKT using a fourcomponent framework in the context of publically funded knowledge transfer (KT) projects. The Delphi technique was used to explore, identify, and verify the relevant key factors; 24 major factors we...

Despite having an important role supporting assessment processes, criticism towards evaluation systems and the categorizations used are frequent. Considering the acceptance by the scientific community as an essential issue for using rankings or categorizations in research evaluation, the aim of this paper is testing the results of rankings of scholarly book publishers’ prestige, Scholarly Publi...

A set of statements was developed by the authors utilizing the literature on the definition and classification of cholesteatoma. A questionnaire was sent to the members of the EAONO, inviting them to state if they are in agreement with each of the statements and if not, then to provide comments or suggestions for revision. Responses were evaluated and modified using online questionnaire and sur...

nitric oxide (no) is a highly reactive signaling molecule and plays a variety of physiological roles in plants. the research on the application of no to postharvest preservation of flowers and fruits shows great promise in recent years. however, the physiological mechanism of exogenous no to affect cut flowers is not very clear, and no donor treatment protected plants from damage by increasing ...

Heat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) participate in a variety of plant physiological processes including the regulation associated with thermotolerance. Here, Hsf gene DcHsfA1d was identified from carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.). The open reading frame (ORF) 1 368 bp and encoded protein 455 amino acids molecular mass 51.039 kDa an isoelectric point 4.94. Sequence domain prediction revea...
