Abstract:
... Fruit ripening of tomato is regulated by NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) domain proteins such as NOR-like1, SlNAC1, and SlNAC4. Acts as an up-stream regulator of NAC genes, the high abundance of miR164 might eliminate the impact of NAC on the ripening of fleshy fruit. In the present study, the STTM-miR164a (silencing miR164a by short tandem target mimic) and OE-miR164a (overexpression of miR164a) tom ...
... Short vase life is a main factor that limits herbaceous peony’s economic value. We found that in cut herbaceous peony, flower senescence was regulated by the combinatorial interactions among plant endogenous hormones. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactive effects are not well understood. In this study, we describe the identification of PlZFP, which influences flower senesc ...
... The flavor of ‘Yali’ pear fruits has substantially declined recently as a result of poor pollination tree selection. Xenia effect is a powerful mechanism for regulating aroma production. To study the effect of different pollens on aroma quality and the molecular basis of xenia effect in ‘Yali’ pear fruits, ‘Hongnanguo’ and ‘Xuehuali’ were used as pollinizers, and the hybrid fruits were named YH an ...
ethylene, etc ; aluminum oxide; combustion; energy; pollutants; porous media; temperature; volatile organic compounds; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Direct emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) not only pollute the environment, but also waste a lot of resources. To overcome above problem, this paper creatively proposed the solution by porous media combustion technology. In this study, ethylene with different N₂ content levels of 10%, 30%, and 50% (used to simulate VOCs) was experimentally burned in a self-designed porous medium burner ...

Abstract:
... Aroma is an important trait of ‘Nanguo’ pear (Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim.), and esters are the main aroma components in the fruit. Refrigeration prolongs the storage period of the fruit but results in evident loss of esters. Here, we treated the refrigerated fruit with 1000 μL L⁻¹ Ethephon solution and found that exogenous ethylene treatment raised the biosynthesis of ten individual esters, and up-re ...
... Hydrogels are widely used as sensors in the field of wearable devices. However, the hydrogels were rarely designed to endure the harsh outdoor environment in winter, including extremely low temperature, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and variable humidity. In addition, physical damage is also a challenge for hydrogels. In this study, a self-healing hydrogel with adhesion was prepared as a sensor for w ...
... Peganum harmala L. is a traditional medicinal plant used for centuries in folk medicine. It has a wide array of therapeutic attributes, which include hypoglycemic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The fruit decoction of this plant was claimed by Avicenna as traditional therapy for urolithiasis. Also, P. harmala seed showed a clinical reduction in kidney stone number and siz ...

Abstract:
... This study aimed to develop a low-density polyethylene-based multilayer active packaging film with three layers. The core layer was an active layer containing pumice and potassium permanganate, while the skin layer was the barrier layer impregnated with sodium chloride. The multilayer film showed an ethylene scavenging capacity of 1.6 μmol/(25 in²) within 8 d at 25 °C and was endowed with water ab ...
... In the current research, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using ethylene ethyl acrylate as compatibilizer are incorporated into low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to generate active nanocomposite films (ANFs) using melt blowing technique. The film properties such as colour, thickness, mechanical and thermal properties, surface morphology, and molecular composition were analy ...

Abstract:
... The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the impacts of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE) genes and programmed cell death (PCD) during ripening and senescence of apple fruit (Malus × domestica Borkh.). The ethylene antagonists 1-MCP (1 μL L⁻¹) was applied to apples after harvest. Both treated and control fruit were stored at 20 ± 2°C. The data show ...

Abstract:
... Fruit color is an important indicator of fruit quality, which is mainly determined by anthocyanin accumulation. Therefore, increasing anthocyanin content is an important way to improve the nutritional and commodity value of fruits. Anthocyanin synthesis is not only regulated by internal genetic factors but also affected by external factors such as light, temperature and nutritional levels, etc. In ...
... Banana, as a typical climacteric fruit, undergoes a ripening process which impacts fruit quality. The Nantianhuang (NTH) banana fruit is a new cultivar resistant to Fusarium wilt, whose physiological characteristics and regulation mechanisms of fruit ripening are not clear. Ripening physiology and the related genes of the NTH fruit were compared with the Brazilian banana (BX) and investigated in t ...

... This study investigated how pulsed light (PL) postharvest treatment influences acerola ripening physiology and quality, thus physiologically mature acerola ‘Okinawa’ were treated with PL (0.6 J.cm⁻²) and stored for 16 days at 10 °C. Compared to untreated, PL-treated acerola showed a 5% reduction in climacteric respiration with 78.65 mol CO₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ and a one-day delay in ethylene peak of 2.65 µL ...
... Persimmon fruits accumulate proanthocyanidins during development. Proanthocyanidins form insoluble complexes with saliva proteins, which promote a sensation of dryness in the mouth called astringency. Persimmon cultivars are classified according to pollination and the presence of astringency at harvest. The different characteristics between persimmon cultivars lead to different metabolic pathways ...
... Dopamine is a naturally occurring amine in plants and animals, having a strong antioxidative capacity. Different abiotic stressors, such as drought, salinity, and nutrient deficiency induce endogenous dopamine biosynthesis, while exogenous dopamine application confers tolerance to abiotic stress. Plants benefit from exogenous dopamine to promote photosynthetic pigment concentrations, stomatal cond ...

Abstract:
... Electrochemical dechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) to produce high-value ethylene is an efficient and economic strategy to reduce carbon emission. However, it is challenging to completely realize high-efficiency ethylene production due to the lack of high-performance catalysis. Herein, a directional freeze-casting and metal–organic framework-derived synergistic strategy was reported to con ...

Abstract:
... Ethylene production in engineered cyanobacteria offers a sustainable alternative to the traditional production from fossil resources. Protein fusions and anchoring strategies are promising routes to augment the stability of recombinant proteins. Here we attempted to anchor the ethylene-forming enzyme (Efe) to several photosystem-related proteins (including D1, PetF, and PsaE) in order to improve t ...

Abstract:
... Limited information is available regarding haskap berry maturity and corresponding postharvest characteristics. We assessed detached berry quality, respiration rate, and ethylene production at five stages of maturity and compared postharvest storage influence on berries harvested at half-blue and softening stages. Ethylene’s increase at successive stages suggests its involvement with berry maturat ...
... Following successful pollination, Dendrobium orchid flowers rapidly undergo senescence. In Dendrobium cv. Khao Chaimongkol, compatible pollination resulted in faster ethylene production and more rapid development of senescence symptoms, such as drooping, epinasty, venation and yellowing, compared with non-pollinated controls or pollination with incompatible pollinia. The DenACS1 and DenACO1 genes ...
