Background: Papaya (Carica papaya) has a maximum loss of postharvest shelf life. Due to the higher respiration activity, these are prone ripening within short time frame; as result, pathogens develop quickly and lead enormous problems for papaya producers. Hence minimize this preserve nutritional qualities, present study was conducted utilize pulp prepare delicious chutney with tomato (Lycopers...

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit ripening is initiated by an increase in ethylene hormone concentration. E8 gene transcription is fruit-specific and is activated at the onset of ripening and in unripe fruit treated with exogenous ethylene. To understand how E8 gene transcription is controlled during ripening, we analyzed the effect of deletions of flanking DNA sequences on E8 gene express...

Ornithine decarboxylase and arginine decarboxylase activities were measured in roots and buds of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Pearson ms-35) and potato (Solanum tuberosum cv. Desire) plants. In both tomato and potato, the activity of ornithine decarboxylase was the highest at the root tip, decreasing proximally. The same was true for potato buds. In vegetative buds of tomato, the h...
