Stability of collusion in differentiated oligopolies is studied without symmetry restrictions on the available strategies. It is demonstrated that if the number of firms is sufficiently large, two-phase stick-and-carrot punishment schemes apply at the highest possible discount rate with respect to collusion on the joint profit-maximizing output. If stick-and-carrot punishment schemes are used, ...

Paenibacillus dauci sp. nov., a new kind of endophytic actinobacteria, is separated from the inner tissues of carrot sample, which forms intimated associations with carrot acting as biological control agents. Here we report a 5.37-Mb assembly of its genome sequence and other useful information, including the coding sequences (CDSs) responsible for biological processes such as antibiotic metabol...

Leaf blight of Carrot reduces food value. It was found that in the MIC carbendazim Alternaria dauci collected from Maharashtra and Karnataka were variable on both vitro & vivo. agar plates ranged 6-20% 5.5-18% carrot leaves. Isolate Ad-2 resistant showed 20% 18% Ad-11 sensitive 6% vitro&5.5 %

Two isofunctional aspartokinases (EC 2.7.2.4) exist in fresh root tissue of carrot (Daucus carota, cv. Oogata sanzun). The threoninesensitive portion constitutes about 70% of the activity; the lysinesensitive, less than 20%. Culture of slices of carrot tissue for 3 days reversed the ratio as the lysine-sensitive activity preferentially increased. Inhibition by threonine and lysine was additive ...

Pectin methylesterase (PME) from carrots (Daucus carrota L.) was extracted and purified by affinity chromatography on a CNBr-Sepharose 4B-PME inhibitor column. A single protein and PME activity peak was obtained. A biochemical characterization in terms of molar mass (MM), isoelectric points (pI), and kinetic parameters of carrot PME was performed. In a second step, the thermal and high-pressure...

Material and Methods The clinical history and the positive SPT with the birch extract were the condition for qualifications. 23 patients included in the first group were only birch allergic. 35 patients in the other group had birch pollen allergy and they reported symptoms after eating apple, celery, carrot, tomato, banana, peach, peanut and hazelnut. The skin tests were performed and serum IgE...

In the current study, changes in health-promoting substances (phenolics and flavonoids) and antioxidant activity of carrot and mango beverages during storage at 25 and 35°C for 30, 60 and 90 days were investigated. The total phenolic content was determined using Folin–Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant activity was based on the evaluation of free–radical scavenging activity (FRSA) using DPPH rad...

Polygalacturonase (PG) was purified from Erwinia carotovora EC. A hybrid cosmid, pSH711, that encodes PG activity but not pectate lyase activity was identified from an E. carotovora genomic library by an immunological screening method. A cell extract of Escherichia coli cells containing pSH711 was able to produce plant tissue maceration when spotted on carrot, potato, or turnip slices. In addit...
