in this study, we assessed the relative contribution of organic and inorganic solutes to osmotic adjustment (oa) in three almond rootstocks subjected to four levels of soil salinity. the results showed that leaf water and osmotic potentials were affected by salinity in gf677 and bitter almond, but less so in gn15, suggesting a higher selectivity for k+ and ca2+ against na+ in this latter rootst...

The aim of this study was to determine organic acids and individual sugars as well as carotenoids in fruit of Kumquat[Fortunella margarita (Lour.) Swingle] on different rootstocks.  On other hand, the purpose of this study was to identify the rootstock that could produce the highest amount of sugars. The content of individual sugars and organic acids in fruits were determined by HPLC, ...

optimization of the isolation methods and utilization of the sugars present in the hydrolysates obtained from pre-hydrolyses of various lignocellulosic materials for production of new chemicals and energy is currently accounted for novel methods of biorefinery all over the world. in this study, effect of temperature (90 and 100 oc), koh concentration (2, 4 and 6 %) and polyoxyethylene (80) sorb...

in order to investigate the effect of temperature and time of blanching process on the generation and extraction of reducing sugars and kinetics of color changes during blanching, the potato strips packaged in the polyethylene (hdpe with 10 micron thickness) film or without polyethylene packaging, were immersed in distilled water at temperature range of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 ºc for 120 minutes....

Measurement error in self-reported sugars intake may explain the lack of consistency in the epidemiologic evidence on the association between sugars and disease risk. This review describes the development and applications of a biomarker of sugars intake, informs its future use and recommends directions for future research. Recently, 24 h urinary sucrose and fructose were suggested as a predicti...

in order to estimate the reducing sugar in tubers of potato by using a manual glucose determiner, an experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design with three replications. in this research reducing sugar of four cultivars of potato – agria, sante, with two methods: enzymatic and a manual glucose determiner. the results picaso and kizer – that maintained...

oriental hybrid lily “arabian red” mother scales were stored in moist cocopeat and perlite (1:1) for 3 or 5 months at 25 ̊c. the numbers of scale bulblets per mother scale were nearly identical in two durations. increasing storage duration promoted the growth of roots (number and length) and no. scales per scale bulblets. and, diameters of scale bulblets were more in longer storage duration (5 m...

Investigations have demonstrated that ratio of sugars to organic acids affects the particular taste of citrus fruit and carotenoids are essential for prevent of the disease.  It seems that some rootstocks enhance the ripening of fruits and stimulatethe biosynthesis of sugars and carotenoids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on sugars, organic acids andcarotenoids o...

Nucleotide sugars are the universal sugar donors for the formation of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, glycolipids, and glycosylated secondary metabolites. At least 100 genes encode proteins involved in the formation of nucleotide sugars. These nucleotide sugars are formed using the carbohydrate derived from photosynthesis, the sugar generated by hydrolyzing translocated sucrose, ...
