fruity teas are popular due to variety in sensory properties as well as their nutritional and therapeutical characteristics. recently, the worldwide researches related to fruity teas have been considerably developed. in this work, effects of fruit type (apple, quince and pear) and brewing time (10 or 20 min) on some nutritional properties (mg, fe and ca contents, sugars and protein percent) as ...

With the growing area and production of pear, as well people for fruit quality requirements are growing. The traditional methods pear inspection expensive less accurate, cannot be done every pear. In response to current environment market demand, a rapid non-destructive method testing is explored, using near infrared spectroscopy establish prediction model crown main indicators pears soluble so...

BACKGROUND/AIMS In patients with non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the commonest cause and ambulatory pH is of great value in identifying these patients. However, parameters in the context of predicting therapeutic response are still unknown. By extending the monitoring period, we could better evaluate the best evidence for GERD association. Our aims were ...

The rainfastness of a microencapsulated sex pheromone formulation for codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), was evaluated in a series of laboratory experiments with detached apple, pear, and walnut leaves. Increasing the intensity and duration of simulated rainfall significantly increased the removal of microcapsules from both the top and bottom of apple leaves. The removal of microcapsules was s...

Bud dormancy in perennial plants is indispensable to survival over winter and to regrowth and development in the following year. However, the molecular pathways of endo-dormancy induction, maintenance, and release are still unclear, especially in fruit crops. To identify genes with roles in regulating endo-dormancy, 30 MIKC(C)-type MADS-box genes were identified in the pear genome and character...

PURPOSE In functional MRI (fMRI), faster acquisition via undersampling of data can improve the spatial-temporal resolution trade-off and increase statistical robustness through increased degrees-of-freedom. High-quality reconstruction of fMRI data from undersampled measurements requires proper modeling of the data. We present an fMRI reconstruction approach based on modeling the fMRI signal as ...

ABSTRACT The aggressiveness of an extensive collection of strains of Erwinia amylovora was analyzed using immature fruit and detached pear flower assays under controlled environmental conditions. The analysis was performed by means of a quantitative approach based on fitting data to mathematical models that relate infection incidence to pathogen dose and time. Probit and hyperbolic saturation m...

Abstract We analyzed the genome sequence of a Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) to facilitate its genetics and genomics as well breeding programs, in which variety 'Nijisseiki' with superior flesh texture has been used parent for most cultivars. De novo assembly long reads covered 136× generated 503.9 Mb contigs consisting 114 sequences an N50 value 7.6 Mb. Contigs were assigned genetic maps esta...

Plants belonging to the genus Opuntia spp. are the most abundant of the Cactaceae family, grown throughout America and the Mediterranean central area. Its fruit, known as cactus pear or prickly pear, is an oval berry grouped in different colors. Some studies have shown its antioxidant activities which may help in preventing chronic pathologies such as diabetes. The purpose of the study was to e...
