This study investigated γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) formation during natural lactic fermentation of cucumbers. Two lots cucumbers were fermented or acidified in duplicate 4 % sodium chloride (NaCl) brine and analyzed for GABA content over 6 months storage. was present fresh pickling at 0.83 ± 0.16 mM 0.56 0.30 mM, respectively. Additional generated (1.21 0.35 mM) remained stable time further pro...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enhance plant stress tolerance, but it is unclear whether AM affect heat tolerance in cucumbers. This study aimed to analyze how an fungus, Diversispora versiformis, affected growth, chlorophyll, five osmolytes, and plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) shock protein 70 (Hsp70) gene expression cucumber leaves after a short-term (80 h) stress. Heat treatment...

Cucumbers productivity and fruit quality depend on seedlings’ quality. The success of seedling cultivation largely depends the choice a suitable substrate. Therefore aim this research is to determine effect peat-vermicompost substrates cucumber crop yield. was carried out in greenhouse covered with double polymeric film Institute Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture Forestry...

Five species of Caudinidae occur in New Zealandwaters. Two new species are described: Paracaudina alta sp. nov.; Paracaudina reductia sp. nov. Two species reported previously are discussed: Paracaudina chilensis (Müller) and Paracaudina coriacea (Hutton). A lectotype has been established for P. coriacea (Hutton). Hedingia albicans var. glabra (Théel) is raised out of synonymy with Hedingia albi...
