Berberis microphylla: A species with phenotypic plasticity in different climatic conditions [PDF]

, 2018
Berberis microphylla G. Forst., commonly called as "calafate" produces small fruits with high content of carbohydrates, phenols and antioxidants. The objective of this work was to characterize the vegetative and reproductive cycle of Berberis microphylla

Combined effects of prohexadione‐calcium and growing environment on sweet cherry fruit quality and postharvest performance

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a high‐value fruit crop, but its commercial success is often limited by poor pigmentation, reduced firmness, and short shelf life. This study evaluated the effects of preharvest applications of prohexadione‐calcium (1.5 L ha−1) on fruit quality and storage performance in lowland and hilly orchards ...

Phosphorus retention capacity in red ferralitic soil [PDF]

, 2014
In this study the main physical-chemical characteristics of red ferralitic soil to use as substrate in subsurface wetlands was determined. The P-removal was evaluated in a short-term isotherm batch experiment and in a column percolation experiment.

A novel use of purple tulip petal anthocyanins in pH‐sensitive polyvinyl alcohol films for the real‐time monitoring of shrimp freshness

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Shrimp is among the most perishable seafood commodities, and its freshness is still largely assessed through time‐consuming laboratory methods. pH‐responsive colorimetric films have received growing attention as they allow visual, real‐time quality monitoring without specialized equipment.

Targeted metabolomics reveals the optimal harvest time of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in an emerging high‐altitude tropical region

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change has driven the expansion of viticulture in high‐altitude tropical regions. The dynamics of grape ripening and its metabolic profile are influenced by climatic conditions. This study aimed to identify the optimal harvest period for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes cultivated in an emerging Brazilian high‐altitude region using

Solving the Monge-Amp\`ere Equations for the Inverse Reflector Problem

, 2014
The inverse reflector problem arises in geometrical nonimaging optics: Given a light source and a target, the question is how to design a reflecting free-form surface such that a desired light density distribution is generated on the target, e.g., a ...

Comparative analysis of microRNAs in bovine colostrum and neonatal calf blood

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non‐coding RNAs that participate in a wide range of biological processes. MiRNAs are present in high concentrations in colostrum, and these may be potentially transferred to newborn calves being fed colostrum.

Rare-Earth Nuclei: Radii, Isotope-Shifts and Deformation Properties in the Relativistic Mean Field Theory [PDF]

, 1995
A systematic study of the ground-state properties of even-even rare earth nuclei has been performed in the framework of the Relativistic Mean-Field (RMF) theory using the parameter set NL-SH.

Gene expression and metabolic variability in fungus‐resistant PIWI (‘Pilzwiderstandsfähig’) grape cultivars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Fungus‐resistant PIWI (Pilzwiderstandsfähig) grape cultivars are promising for reducing pesticide inputs in viticulture, but their enological potential is still poorly characterized. We performed a pilot, single‐vintage study integrating berry gene expression and phenolic composition in five Italian red PIWI cultivars (Cabernet ...
