Effects of exogenously applied methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and sucrose on vase life and non-structural carbohydrate concentration in petals and leaves of cut ‘First Red’ roses were investigated. Roses were placed in sealed plastic containers and received MeJA vapour treatment (0.1 μL MeJA L-1) for 24 h at 20°C. Flowers were then placed in individual bottles containing 0 or 2% (v/v) sucrose solution...

background: cries of the newborn could be due to pain, thirst, hungry and fear from new environment. in our study we evaluated the effect of the sucrose drops on pacifying the children prior to a painful intervention or procedure with regards to the fasting condition of the children. methods: this triple blind clinical trial was conducted on 60 otherwise healthy children aged less than 1 year w...

the aim of this study was to establish and optimise a simplified method of halved grain culture, in order to utilise it to evaluate the ability of isolated sinks (developing wheat grains) in sucrose uptake and conversion (defined by sink strength) under unlimited source conditions. both sucrose uptake and starch synthesis increased linearly over the incubation periods used in this study. a ...

effect of different co2 concentrations on sucrose metabolizing enzymes and on carbohydrate metabolism was studied for eight blackgram (vigna mungo l. hepper) genotypes grown in open top chambers under ambient (380 µmol mol-1) vs. elevated co2 (550 and 700 µmol mol-1) levels. the higher acid invertase activity over neutral invertase indicated the major role of acid invertase in sucrose breakdown...

Background: Development of safe radioprotector is a challenging task. In this study radioprotective effect of sucrose has been demonstrated in calf thymus DNA (CtDNA). Sucrose is a free radical scavenger and also acts as osmolyte and therefore can influence the water activity around DNA and effects of radiation on DNA. Hoechst 33258 was used to probe the possible alteration in physicochemical p...

in order to examine the effects of essential oils and silver nanoparticles as anantimicrobial preservative in the solutions of alstroemeri cv. sukari cut flowers, anexperiment was conducted with 11 treatments and 3 replications in a completelyrandomized design. in this study, we used essences of carvacrol, thymol and zataria oilwithconcentrations of 50 and 100 mg l-1 and silver nanoparticles wi...

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of differentpreservative solutions to improve the keeping quality of tuberose (polianthes tuberosa cv. single). these preservative solutions (treatments) were: t1= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3, t2= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3 + 25 mg/l citric acid, t3= 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs, t4 = 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs+ 25 mg/l citric acid, t5= 2% sucro...
