Identification of reliable molecular markers that show differential expression between distinct groups of samples has remained a fundamental research problem in many large-scale profiling studies, such as those based on DNA microarray or mass-spectrometry technologies. Despite the availability of a wide spectrum of statistical procedures, the users of the high-throughput platforms are still fac...

poor packaging and improper management causes fruits get bruised and squeezed, allowingfor different types of rots to develop when the necessary favorable growth conditions available.tomato fruit is beset with problems of both field and storage rot. throughout the presentstudy, two biocontrol bacteria pseudomonas fluorescens utpf68, and bacillus subtilis utb96the large scale production of which...

Sweet chestnut fruits are popular commercialized as fresh or processed ready-to-eat products. The major post-harvest problems associated with stored fungal rots, which cause losses in fruit quality. aims of this work were to determine the incidence, abundance and diversity rots fungi three varieties (Longal, Judia Martaínha) Portugal, collected from an industrial plant, identify stages storage ...

The word “pumpkin” is derived from the Latin word pepo, which is a botanical term for fruit with a hard rind and fleshy interior. The commonly used scientific name for pumpkins is Cucurbita pepo. But some other cucurbits, such as Cucurbita moschata (e.g., ‘Dickenson’ and ‘Libby Select’, known as processing pumpkin) (Figure 1, B) and Cucurbita maxima, which are winter squash, are also known as p...

In this paper, we describe a different approach to the proof of the nonexistence of homogeneous rotation symmetric bent functions. As a result, we obtain some new results which support the conjecture made in this journal, i.e., there are no homogeneous rotation symmetric bent functions of degree > 2. Also we characterize homogeneous degree 2 rotation symmetric bent functions by using GCD of pol...

The heritability of thorax length in the cactophilic Drosophila buzzatii was determined for flies from each of 10 rotting cactus cladodes. For each rot, emerging flies were used as parents of progeny reared in the laboratory. The methods used were full sib analysis with the parents mated assortatively and also offspring-parent regression. From this, heritabilities were measured for the laborato...
