Abstract:
... Processing melon into spirits has important environmental and economic value. However, the flavour of melon spirits is undesirable and has yet to be studied. In this study, a combination of odour activity value, gas chromatography–olfactometry detection frequency analysis, aroma reconstitution, and omission tests showed that key aroma compounds (Group 1), including 3,6-nonadien-1-ol and 3-nonen-1- ...

Abstract:
... Melon-based carbon nitride (CN) is a semiconductor photocatalyst with a conduction band position suitable for photocatalytic H₂O₂ production. However, the thermodynamic inability to adsorb O₂ molecules greatly limits its photocatalytic efficiency for H₂O₂ production. In this paper, P-doped CN with good performance for H₂O₂ production was synthesized by a simple one-step calcination method. The exp ...

We report a high-density genetic map of melon and nine major QTLs with physical region ranging from 43.47 kb to 1.89 Mb. Importantly, two seed-related trait QTLs were repeatedly detected in two environments, and the mapping region was narrowed to 522 kb according to a regional linkage analysis. A total of 40 an ...

However, little is known about miR160 and ARF in cucumber fruit expansion. Here, 4 Csa-MIR160 family members and 17 CsARFs were identified through a genome-wide search. Csa-miR160 showed a closer relationship with those in melon. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CsA ...
