Chemical thinning of 'Conference' pears [PDF]

, 2010
The increasing difference in the market value of small and larger sized ‘Conference’ pears (>65 mm) and the high labour costs for hand thinning, makes it interesting for growers to find a cheaper and reliable method for thinning pear trees. In 2007, 2008

EFFECTS OF CROP LOAD AND HARVEST ON APPLE RIPENING [PDF]

HortScience, 1990
Studies were conducted in 1989 to determine the effects of crop load and percent harvested on apple ripening. Twenty-seven `Golden Delicious' trees were selected and partitioned into 9 blocks. The crop load on one tree in each block was adjusted to 3.4, 6.9, or 15.0 fruit cm-1 trunk circumference in late June.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Assisted pollination by means of an electrostatic system in the production and quality of sweet cherries cv. 'Regina'

Folia Horticulturae
Poor pollination limits the fruit set and productivity of self-incompatible cultivars of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.). This study sought to evaluate the improvement in fruit production and quality from assisted pollination using an electrostatic system

Yield And Quality Of Starfruit (Averrhoa Carambola Cv. B10) Under Protected Cultivation [PDF]

, 2007
Starfruit (Averrhoa carambola) is an important export fruit with an annual export value of RM30 million. The fruit is mainly exported to Europe. A critical constraint to the future expansion of the starfruit industry is its high labour requirement ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Performance of starfruit cv. B10 under netted structure. I. Effect of crop load on plant physiological performance and yield [PDF]

, 2008
Plant physiological performance and yield of starfruit at several crop loads under netted structure were studied in the starfruit farm at MARDI, Serdang, Selangor. The crop load consisted of three treatments ranging from less than 100 to about 600 fruits

Potential loss of nutrients from different rearing strategies for fattening pigs on pasture [PDF]

, 2006
Nutrient load and distribution on pasture were investigated with fattening pigs that: 1) spend a proportion of or their entire life on pasture, 2) were fed either restrictively or ad libitum, and 3) were weaned at different times of the year. The N and P

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...
