Photosynthesis is the basic process influencing crop productivity. It can be inhibited by drought. Seven sour cherry genotypes were challenged by drought to assess their photosynthetic efficiency in such conditions. All together with relative water content (RWC) as indicator of plant water status, maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and chlorophyll content (Chl a+b) differentiated i...

In most prokaryotes Asn-tRNA and Gln-tRNA are formed by amidation of aspartate and glutamate mischarged onto tRNA and tRNA, respectively. Coexistence in the organism of mischarged Asp-tRNA and Glu-tRNA and the homologous Asn-tRNA and Gln-tRNA does not, however, lead to erroneous incorporation of Asp and Glu into proteins, since EF-Tu discriminates the misacylated tRNAs from the correctly charge...

The gustatory and olfactory systems are the only two systems in which stimuli act directly on the receptor. There are five taste categories which have been identified as gustatory stimuli: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (MSG). Bitter and sour are known as aversive stimuli and help mammals avoid toxic and spoiled foods. Although both are similar in that they are aversive, they work throug...

Blind sour e separation (BSS) de omposes a multidimensional time series into a set of sour es, ea h with a one-dimensional time ourse and a xed spatial distribution. For EEG and MEG, the former orresponds to the simultaneously separated and temporally overlapping signals for ontinuous non-averaged data; the latter orresponds to the set of attenuations from the sour es to the sensors. These sens...

Abstra t | In this work, we investigate the joint sour ehannel oding issue of transmitting non-uniform independent and identi ally distributed (i.i.d.) sour es over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) hannels via Turbo odes. The sour e redundan y in the form of non-uniformity is exploited in the Turbo de oder via a modi ed extrinsi information. In ontrast to previous work, non-systemati re urs...

'Comice' is among the pear varieties most difficult to ripen after harvest. Ethylene, cold temperature, and intermediate (10 °C) temperature conditioning have been successfully used to stimulate the ability of 'Comice' pears to ripen. However, the sensory quality of pears stimulated to ripen by different conditioning treatments has not been evaluated. In this study, a descriptive sensory analys...

The peel components of Mandarin, Sour lemon and Sour orange were analyzed. Peel flavorcomponents were extracted using cold-press method and eluted using n-hexane. All compoundswere analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS. Twenty-seven, Twenty-four and Twenty-nine peelcomponents were identified in Mandarin, Sour lemon and Sour orange respectively. They includealdehydes, alcohols, esters, monoterpenes an...

The research paper provides the results of investigation of “Sour-milk feed supplement” for piglets based on natural association of microorganisms Lactomyces tibeticus. It was found that probiotic microorganisms that compose sour-milk feed supplement withstand the adverse actions of gastrointestinal tract and can be easily acclimatized in the intestinal tract of piglets. Administration of sour-...

We used a next-generation high-throughput sequencing platform to resequence the Xinguowei and Shouxing melon cultivars, the parents of Fengwei melon. We found 84% of the reads (under a coverage rate of "13×") placed on the reference genome DHL92. There were 2,550,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and 140,000 structural variations in the two genomes. We also identified 1,290 polymorphic genes ...
