Although aerobic methane (CH4) release from plants leads to an intense scientific and public controversy in the recent years, the potential functions of endogenous CH4 production in plants are still largely unknown. Here, we reported that polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced osmotic stress significantly increased CH4 production and soluble sugar contents in maize (Zea mays L.) root tissues. These ...

Samples from eleven species of Lamiaceae were collected from different light environments in Venezuela for laboratory analysis. The studied species were: Plectranthus scutellarioides (Ps), Scutellaria purpurascens (Sp), Hyptis pectinata (Hp)), H. sinuata (Hs). Leonorus japonicus (Lj), Plecthranthus amboinicus (Pa) Ocimum hasilicum (Ocb), O. campechianum (Occ) Origanum majorana (Orm), Rosmarinus...

this study was carried out in the general commission for scientific agricultural research (gcsar) at der ez zour agricultural research center, during 2009- 2010 growing seasons. the role of na+, k+, na+/k+, carbohydrates accumulation of leaves, and sugar content of roots on the osmotic adjustment was studied in 10 sugar beet genotypes (five were monogerms and five were multigerms), under salini...

Sugar content is the major determinant of both fruit quality and consumer acceptance in melon (Cucumis melo L), and is a primary target for crop improvement. Near-isogenic lines (NILs) derived from the intraspecific cross between a "Piel de Sapo" (PS) type and the exotic cultivar "Songwhan Charmi" (SC), and several populations generated from the cross of PS × Ames 24294 ("Trigonus"), a wild mel...

The study was conducted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 7 treatments replicated thrice. were T1 (pomegranate juice 1ltr + 0.5 g yeast 500 sugar), T2 1g 500g T3 1.5g T4 2g T5 2.5g T6 3g T7 3.5g sugar). pomegranate fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. cider assessed for the physico-chemical changes that occurred throughout its 90 days of storage, as well sensory quality a 9-point ...

Vitamin B-17 (nitriloside) is a designation proposed to include a large group of water-soluble, essentially non-toxic, sugary, compounds found in over 800 plants, many of which are edible. These factors are collectively known as Beta-cyanophoric glycosides. They comprise molecules made of sugar, hydrogen cyanide, a benzene ring or an acetone. Though the intact molecule is for all practical purp...

A one-pot, three-minute, gram-scale synthesis of novel sp3-nanocrystalline, water-soluble, and fluorescent carbon dots (FCDs), from simple and cheap sugar starting materials is described. Mechanism studies showed that NH2-FCD formation proceeds via a crucial imine intermediate derived from reaction between a sugar hemiacetal and an amine. Moreover, we successfully demonstrate the utility of lac...

Abstract Vacuolar Phosphate Transporter1 (VPT1)-mediated phosphate uptake in the vacuoles is essential to plant development and fruit ripening. Interestingly, here we find that VPT1 may transport sugar response soluble status of fruits. The VvVPT1 protein isolated from grape (Vitis vinifera) berries was tonoplast-localized contains SPX (Syg1/Pho81/XPR1) MFS (major facilitator superfamily) domai...
