Molecular physiology of banana fruit ripening : improvement of fruit quality [PDF]

, 2008
It is now assumed that the quality of fruit is a complex trait in which a lot of mechanisms are involved, some of them being antagonistic. All of these mechanisms are the results the coercive action of differentially regulated genes.

Developing fencing policies in dryland ecosystems [PDF]

, 2015
The daily energy requirements of animals are determined by a combination of physical and physiological factors, but food availability may challenge the capacity to meet nutritional needs.

The effect of nanocoatings enriched with essential oils on ‘Rocha’ pear long storage [PDF]

, 2020
The effect of coating 'Rocha' pears with alginate-based nanoemulsions enriched with lemongrass essential oil (LG) or citral (Cit) was investigated. Fruit were treated with the nanoemulsions: sodium alginate 2% (w/w) + citral 1% (w/w) (Cit1%); sodium ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The Effects of Food on Circadian Rhythm: A Comprehensive Review

eFood
Circadian rhythms regulate essential physiological functions such as metabolism, hormone secretion, and sleep–wake cycles. While light entrains the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), food serves as a powerful zeitgeber (an external ...

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside extracted from the Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra Sieb. et Zucc.) alleviates antibiotic-associated diarrhea by regulating gut microbiota and down-regulating inflammatory factors in NF-κB pathway

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Chinese bayberry has been used to treat diarrhea in China for more than 2,000 years, but the mechanism is not clear. Due to the extensive use of antibiotics, antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is becoming more and more common in clinic, but there is no

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene-editing technology in fruit quality improvement

Food Quality and Safety, 2020
Fruits are an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet and it is particularly important for fibre, essential vitamins, and trace elements. Improvement in the quality of fruit and elongation of shelf life are crucial goals for researchers.

Molecular and Genetic Regulation of Sensory Quality of Climacteric Fruit [PDF]

, 2004
The sensory quality of fruit has become a major criterion in making the purchasing decision by consumers. Breeding programs have mainly been directed, from the post-harvest stand point, towards improving shelf-life.
