Delay of Cucumber Senescence and Life‐Extending Capabilities on Caenorhabditis elegans With the Postharvest Application of Sorbitol and Methyl Salicylate

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Methyl salicylate and sorbitol were taken as coating agents. Caenorhabditis elegans was taken as an animal model. The coated agents were applied in C. elegans. The life span study in C. elegans proves the authenticity of MS and SL. MS and SL extended the post‐harvest life of cucumber for 14 days.

Intraspecific Hybridization between Non-spiny and Spiny Brinjal for Developing Non-Spiny Brinjal without Deletion of Spiny Brinjal Qualities

Comparative study of M. oleifera and M. ovalifolia survival rates in Central Namibia, 2020
An objective to develop Non-spiny brinjal without deletion of quality characters of spiny brinjal for consumers preference and also avoid hitting of spines to harvesters. Spiny brinjal (VRM-1Mullukathiri) is a pure line selection from Elavambadi village of Vellore district of Tamil Nadu. Spines are present in the leaf, stem and calyx of the fruit.
