High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are important seed storage proteins in wheat (Triticum aestivum) that determine wheat dough elasticity and processing quality. Clarification of the defined effectiveness of HMW-GSs is very important to breeding efforts aimed at improving wheat quality. To date, there have no report on the expression silencing and quality effects of 1Bx20 and 1By...

Cereal Chem. 83(4):418–423 Protein and protein fractions were measured in 49 hard winter wheat flours to investigate their relationship to breadmaking properties, particularly loaf volume, which varied from 760 to 1,055 cm and crumb grain score of 1.0–5.0 from 100 g of flour straight-dough bread. Protein composition varied with flour protein content because total soluble protein (SP) and gliadi...

making it a good fusion tag for many proteins. Verkhusha and colleagues performed a mutagenesis screen on the monomeric red fluorescent protein mCherry, to identify red photoactivatable variants. The resulting PAmCherry proteins have many desirable properties, including lack of green fluorescence and high single-molecule brightness, making them suited for two-color photoactivated localization m...

bermudagrass [cynodon dactylon (l.) pers.] is a perennial grass and has been long used as a medicinal herb in iranian traditional medicine to treat varied ailments. different parts of bermudagrass such as leaves, stolons, rhizomes and culms are rich sources of metabolites such as proteins, carbohydrates, mineral constituents, β-sitosterol, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides and triterpenoides. g...

OBJECTIVE To inventory instruments assessing the process of shared decision making and appraise their measurement quality, taking into account the methodological quality of their validation studies. METHODS In a systematic review we searched seven databases (PubMed, Embase, Emcare, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Academic Search Premier) for studies investigating instruments measuring the...

ABSTRACT: Edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gellan gum (G) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of Malus domestica cv Golab apples. WPC and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (Gly) were tested. Postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

Today’s viewers consume video content from a variety of connected devices, including smart phones, tablets, notebooks, TVs, and PCs. This imposes significant challenges for managing video traffic efficiently to ensure an acceptable quality-of-experience (QoE) for the end users as the perceptual quality of video content strongly depends on the properties of the display device and the viewing con...

Background: Drying is the one of the oldest methods for increasing the shelf life of food products. The objective of the present study was evaluation of effect of different drying temperatures on drying time and storage quality parameters of in-shell hazelnut. Methods: Hazelnuts were dried as a thin layer at three temperatures (40, 50, and 60 °C). The time required for drying and quality param...

Rationale Protein studies in archaeology and paleontology have been dominated by stable isotope to understand diet trophic levels, but recent applications of proteomic techniques resulted a more complete understanding protein diagenesis than isotopes alone. In analyses, samples are retained or discarded based on their properties. Proteomics can directly determine what proteins present within th...

Royal jelly (RJ), a highly nutritious natural product, has gained recognition for its remarkable health-promoting properties, leading to widespread use in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Extensive investigations have revealed that RJ possesses broad spectrum of therapeutic effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-aging, antibacterial activities. Dist...
