Cold storage is used to inhibit peach fruit ripening during shipment distant markets. However, this cold can negatively affect the quality of when it ripened, resulting in disorders such as wooliness, browning or leathering. In order understand individual and combined biological effects that factors have on quality, we taken a comparative EST transcript profiling approach identify genes are differentially expressed response these factors.We sequenced 50,625 Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs)...
Non-green plastids, such as chromoplasts, generally have much lower activity of gene expression than chloroplasts in photosynthetically active tissues. Suppression plastid genes non-green tissues occurs through a complex interplay transcriptional and translational control, with the contribution regulation transcript abundance versus being highly variable between genes. Here, we investigated whether low genome chromoplasts results from inherent limitations capacity, or can be overcome by...
The interaction between seeds and mycorrhizal fungi in germination developmental processes is complex far from being understood. efficiency assessment of at "in vitro" seed orchids will improve protocols for conservation horticultural purposes. Applying a culture-dependent approach, we isolated 45 endophytic fungi, roots 12 orchid species, growing two altitudinal levels the Ecuadorian mountains. From them, 26 Rhizoctonia-like axenical isolates were studied by nuclear ribosomal rDNA sequences...
De novo fatty acid biosynthesis in plants relies on a prokaryotic-type acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) that resides the plastid compartment. The enzyme is composed of four subunits, one which encoded genome, whereas other three subunits are by nuclear genes. gene (accD) encodes β-carboxyltransferase subunit ACCase and essential for cell viability. To facilitate functional analysis accD, we pursued transplastomic knockdown strategy tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). By introducing point mutations...
This study aimed to describe the bacterial microbiome associated with carapace of three species Galapagos giant tortoises (Chelonoidis porteri, Chelonoidis donfaustoi, and vandenburghi) determine potential effect whitish lesions caused by fungus Aphanoascella galapagosensis.
Fermentation is key to developing the organoleptic characteristics of cocoa beans, as dynamic changes in metabolites have a significant impact on flavors and aromas, hence modifications this process been investigated. In research, mucilage CCN-51 beans was replaced by mixture passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) plantain (Musa paradisiaca L.) pulp, controlled fermentation carried out after its spontaneous on-farm inoculation. The physicochemical correlations during five days were evaluated. At...
Abstract Background Expressed sequence tag (EST) analyses provide a rapid and economical means to identify candidate genes that may be involved in particular biological process. These ESTs are useful many Functional Genomics studies. However, the large quantity complexity of data generated during an EST sequencing project can make analysis this information daunting task. Results In attempt task friendlier, we have developed JUICE, open source management system (Apache + PHP MySQL on Linux),...
Summary In a non‐conventional lab‐scale fermentation of cocoa beans using probiotic microorganisms and substituting the pulp for fruit pulp, physicochemical, microbiological quality parameters were investigated. Two hundred grams fermented in controlled environmental chamber (temperature ramp rate 25°C 48 h; 35°C h 45°C 65% HR). pH, titratable acid, citric, lactic acetic acids, as well sugars ethanol measured. A cut test was also performed on 5 6 days. As time progressed, citric acid...
This article presents a comparative analysis of various indicators that evaluate the impact distributed generator (DG) connection in power distribution system. The goal is to select have an effective tool for studying and selecting alternatives size location DG. performed on IEEE 33 test system, considering mean hourly values generation load demand.
This paper shows how the ERTMS laboratory test may improve commissioning of new railway track projects. The results presented in this are based on a comparison between tests made using real line and laboratory. It is shown that very high efficiencies time money can be achieved for testing tracks, which verify field data avoids ERTM train-track integration. Through various comparative studies, it has been demonstrated suitable, realistic trustworthy environment replace field. Of course, some...
