pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Optical Techniques for Fruit Firmness Assessment

open access: yes, 2015
This thesis describes the design and development of a new high-speed multispectral imaging (MSI) system compatible with a commercial grading line. The purpose of this system was to carry out spatially resolved spectroscopy to assess fruit firmness ...

Optical properties of apple skin and flesh in the wavelength range from 350 to 2200 nm

open access: yes, 2008
Optical measurement of fruit quality is challenging due to the presence of a skin around the fruit flesh and the multiple scattering by the structured tissues.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Identification of the apple firmness: two case studies

open access: yes, 2001
Firmness tests were performed with peeled and entire fruits of Elstar and Jonagold apple cultivars for identification and comparison. The normal distribution of the tested population was acceptable (level: 95%).

Postharvest Quality of ‘Keepsake’ Apple Fruit

open access: yesHortTechnology
Storage information regarding ‘Keepsake’ apple fruit is lacking. The objective of this research was to investigate the postharvest characteristics of ‘Keepsake’ apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.), which is a parent of ‘Honeycrisp’. Apples were obtained from

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Assessing firmness in mango comparing broadband and miniature spectrophotometers

open access: yes, 2021
The aim of this study was to compare a laboratory-based and a pocket-sized near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometer (SCiO) to predict mango fruit firmness. Three batches of mango fruit were measured to explore batch specific and global models.
