Abstract:
... Kynurenine (1) and indole-3-acetic acid (2) are considered as potential precursors of 2-aminoacetophenone (3), which is regarded to be the aroma impact compound causing an "untypical aging off-flavor" (UTA) in Vitis vinifera wines. The mechanism of the formation of 3 was studied using model fermentation and model sulfuration media spiked with 1 or 2 as potential precursors. Possible degradation pr ...

Abstract:
... This review uses three examples to summarise our knowledge about the complexity and the evolution of circadian systems. The first example describes the ecology of unicellular algae, which use their circadian system to optimise the daily exploitation of resources that are spatially separated. The second example looks at the role of clocks in tissues and cells within a complex organism, and the thir ...

Abstract:
... In aiming to upgrade the traditional snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar Zargana Kavalas for earliness, yield and quality, we applied a long-term pedigree intra-cultivar selection program, based on plants grown in a widely spaced single-pattern honeycomb design. The program was applied under greenhouse and field conditions. Firstly, we examined the existing genetic variability in the cultiv ...

Abstract:
... Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) has two major H1 variants (H1A and H1B), which account for over 80% of chromatin linker histones, and four minor variants: H1C, H1D, H1E and H1F. We have shown previously [M. Prymakowska-Bosak et al. (1999) Plant Cell 11:2317-2329] that reversal of the natural proportion of major to minor H1 variants in transgenic tobacco plants results in a characteristic male-steri ...
