fruits,   etc   ; animal tissues; mitochondria;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Isolated mitochondria have been widely used for the study of energetic functioning of these important cellular organelles in a physiological or pathophysiological state. This is due, on the one part, to the fact that isolated mitochondria are relatively easy to isolate from a great variety of animal tissues, and on the other part to the fact that their energetic functioning is relatively easy to s ...

Abstract:
... The current commercial technologies for mass harvesting fruit are based on the application of forced vibration to the tree, which is transmitted to the fruits causing their detachment. The dynamic behaviour of the plant under forced vibration is of special interest to improve the design and use of the machinery. The objective of this work is to determine the effect of fruit and leaves on the dynam ...

Abstract:
... Fruits exhibit highly diversified morphology, and are arguably one of the most highly specialised organs to have evolved in higher plants. Fruits range in morphological, biomechanical, and textural properties, often as adaptations for their respective dispersal strategy. While most plant species possess monomorphic (of a single type) fruit and seeds, here we focus on Aethionema arabicum (L.) Andrz ...
