The segment-polarity class of segmentation genes in Drosophila are primarily involved in the specification of sub-segmental units. In addition, some of the segment-polarity genes have been shown to specify cell fates within the central nervous system. One of these loci, gooseberry, consists of two divergently transcribed genes, gooseberry and gooseberry neuro, which share a paired box as well a...

Previous studies have shown that the segment polarity locus gooseberry, which contains two closely related transcripts gooseberry-proximal and gooseberry-distal, is required for proper development in both the epidermis and the central nervous system of Drosophila. In this study, the roles of the gooseberry proteins in the process of cell fate specification have been examined by generating two f...

the current investigation presents the role of gooseberry (phyllanthus acidus) seeds as an effective biosorbent for remediating chromium (vi)), a toxic heavy metal pollutant commonly found in effluents from tanneries and relevant industries. biosorption was affected by ph, temperature and initial metal concentration. furthermore, there is a need to understand the holistic effect of all variable...

BACKGROUND Fruit and vegetables have health and nutritional value, but can also be a source of toxic contaminants such as pesticide residues. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate presence of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetable crops from the central and eastern region of Poland in order to check the compliance of these products with the maximum residue levels' (MRLs) requirem...

The Drosophila segmentation gene paired, whose product is homologous to the Drosophila Gooseberry and mammalian Pax3 proteins, has three general functions: proper development of the larval cuticle, survival to adulthood and male fertility. Both DNA-binding domains, the conserved N-terminal paired-domain and prd-type homeodomain, are required within the same molecule for all general paired funct...

Drying kinetics of Cape gooseberry was studied and modeled during processing at four temperatures (60, 70, 80 and 90C). Desorption isotherm was obtained at 40C giving a monolayer moisture content of 0.086 g water/g d.m. Experimental drying curves showed that drying process took place only in the falling rate period. Several thin-layer drying models available in the literature were evaluated bas...

The volatile fractions of Cape gooseberry and blueberry were determined by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC×GC-TOFMS). The highest amount of alcohol (51.8%), ester (32.8%) and carboxylic acid (6.9%) was in blueberry in comparison with gooseberry and oppositely ketones (14.7%), al...
