Apple seeds (Malus domestica Borkh. cv Golden Delicious) were stratified at 5 and 15 degrees C for various lengths, weighed, and soluble protein of axis and cotyledon tissue was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Only seeds treated at 5 degrees C germinated; seeds treated at 15 degrees C did not germinate. Optimal germination required 63 days of stratificatio...

Abstract In an experimental vignette study, the respondents were asked to decide whether college applicants should be credited with a bonus or malus on admission grade, for example due their migration background, social origin, effort. The results show that dimensions of educational inequality tend considered in direction compensation. Hence, there is evidence certain legitimacy measures sense ...

Galactomannans (GMs) extracted from seeds of a native Brazilian specie designated Cassia fastuosa (cassia) and from Cyamopsis tetragonolobus (guar gum – a commercial GM) were mixed with agar, in the proportion of 3/3 g.L (w/w), and used as a gelling agent in Marubakaido apple rootstock (Malus prunifolia Borkh) micropropagation. The rheological measurements of the gels showed a good interaction ...

The bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) transcription factor family is the second largest in plants. It occurs in all three eukaryotic kingdoms, and plays important roles in regulating growth and development. However, family members have not previously been studied in apple. Here, we identified 188 MdbHLH proteins in apple "Golden Delicious" (Malus × domestica Borkh.), which could be classified into ...

Abstract Purpose The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by the construction industry account for an enormous share of total global CO 2 emissions. numerous activities therefore continue to reduce remaining carbon budget. One lever reduction these GHG lies in procurement process buildings. For this reason, a model was developed that takes embodied and operational into tendering awarding phase...

This paper proposes a discrete-time risk model that has a centain type of correlation between premiums and claim amounts. It is motivated by the well-known No Claims Discount system or bonus-malus system in the car insurance industry. Such a system penalises policyholders at fault in accidents by surcharges, and rewards claim-free years by discounts. For simplicity, only two levels of premium a...

In this study, the resources of traditional Chinese medicine were exploited reasonably, which was mainly composed active components malus hupehensis and four kinds plant components, such as Pueraria lobata, tangerine peel, jujube corn sweet core. The preparation process product has been solved, preliminary efficacy experiments have carried out, proved to be able relieve symptoms alcohol discomf...

Apples are one of the most popular crops in world, grown for fresh consumption, processing, and ornamental purposes. In present study, seeds thirty crab apple (Malus spp.) genotypes were analyzed to evaluate tocopherol composition find a crop-specific profile. The mean proportion (%) (T) homologues (α, β, γ, δ) was as follows: α-T (45.8%), β-T (21.8%), γ-T (24.3%), δ-T (8.1%) with content 22.41...

Sixty rhizosphere soil samples of apple seedlings and rootstock were collected from six nurseries of Khuzdar and Kalat districts of Balochistan. Six different plant nematodes were found associated with the seedlings and rootstock. The most predominant nematode was Xiphinema americanum, whereas the nematode found from a single locality was Tylenchus butteus. A matrix of similarities with respect...

The aim of this study was to determine the composition and content of phenolic compounds in the ethanol extracts of apple leaves and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of these extracts. The total phenolic content was determined spectrophotometrically, as well as the total flavonoid content in the ethanol extracts of apple leaves and the antioxidant activity of these extracts, by the ABTS, DP...
