Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is an important non-climacteric fruit and rich in essential nutrients such as minerals and carotenoids. During fruit development and ripening, thousands of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from various metabolic pathways cause a series of physiological and biochemical changes. To better understand the underlying mechanism of fruit development, the So...

SWEETs (sugars will eventually be exported transporters) have various physiological and biochemical roles in plant growth, including pollen development, seed nourishment, nectar secretion, longer-distance sugar transportation. The SWEET genes were identified species, but they not yet been thoroughly characterized. Here, we discovered 21 putative from the Eriobotrya japonica Lindl. genome. For f...

Purpose: To optimize extraction of total triterpene acids from loquat leaf and evaluate their in vitro antioxidant activities. Methods: The independent variables were ethanol concentration, extraction time, and solvent ratio, while the dependent variable was content of total triterpene acids. Composite design and response surface method were used to optimize the extraction process, while antiox...

INTRODUCTION Foreign body ingestion is common among children and more common in boys and in children under the age of 3. It can present with a wide variety of symptoms like dysphagia and drooling or symptoms related to the upper aerodigestive tract. CASE REPORT A 20-month-old male presented with refractory croup and poor feeding since 2 weeks. Bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy was performed due ...

Loquat fruits, highly valued by consumers for their characteristic aroma and pleasant taste, have a short post-harvest life are susceptible to mechanical damage, loss of firmness, initial organoleptic characteristics. The aim this work was develop drying method suitable storing loquat fruits in polyamide/polyethylene (PA/PE) bags containing two gaseous mixtures (treatments): MAPN2 (100% N2) MAP...

Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) leaf extract exhibits bioactive properties against a variety of diseases. However, it remains unclear whether loquat can protect myoblasts from oxidative damage. To investigate the protective effect ethanol (LE) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced stress in C2C12 murine and LE on cellular differentiation cells. inhibited H2O2-induced cytotoxicity reduced both expressio...
