Superoxide Dismutase in Ripening Fruits [PDF]
The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in extracts of preclimacteric apple, banana, avocado, and tomato fruits were not greatly different than in extracts of postclimacteric fruits. The results indicate that no major quantitative change in SOD occurs in fruits with or preceding the onset of senescence.

Recent Developments on the Role of Ethylene in the Ripening of Climacteric Fruit [PDF]
It has long been recognised that ethylene plays a major role in the ripening process of climacteric fruit. A more thorough analysis, however, has revealed that a number of biochemical and molecular processes associated with climacteric fruit ripening ...

Fruit firmness measurement is a good way to monitor fruit softening and to predict bruising damage during harvest and postharvest handling. Ripening protocols traditionally utilize a destructive penetrometer-type fruit firmness measure to monitor ...

Iron nanoparticle formation in a metal-organic matrix: from ripening to gluttony [PDF]
A simple method for the fabrication of metal nanoparticles is introduced. Heating metal-organic crystals in vacuum results in the formation of well defined metal particles embedded in a carbon matrix. The method is demonstrated for iron-phthalocyanine. At 500C homogeneously distributed iron nanoparticles with a reasonably narrow size distribution form ...

Natural selection as coarsening [PDF]
Analogies between evolutionary dynamics and statistical mechanics, such as Fisher's second-law-like "fundamental theorem of natural selection" and Wright's "fitness landscapes", have had a deep and fruitful influence on the development of evolutionary theory. Here I discuss a new conceptual link between evolution and statistical physics.

Methylation of nucleotides, notably in the forms of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in DNA and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNA, carries important information for gene regulation. 5mC has been elucidated to participate in the regulation of fruit ripening, whereas

Vision-Based Cranberry Crop Ripening Assessment [PDF]
Agricultural domains are being transformed by recent advances in AI and computer vision that support quantitative visual evaluation. Using drone imaging, we develop a framework for characterizing the ripening process of cranberry crops. Our method consists of drone-based time-series collection over a cranberry growing season, photometric calibration ...

The mitochondrial elongation factor LeEF-Tsmt is regulated during tomato fruit ripening and upon wounding and ethylene treatment [PDF]
A gene encoding an elongation factor LeEF-Tsmt that participates in the protein synthesis process in mitochondria shows strong expression in ripening fruit as compared to other organs.
