Virus-induced gene complementation reveals a transcription factor network in modulation of tomato fruit ripening [PDF]
Plant virus technology, in particular virus-induced gene silencing, is a widely used reverse- and forward-genetics tool in plant functional genomics. However the potential of virus technology to express genes to induce phenotypes or to complement mutants

Evidence of acidic Invertase as control step of sucrose level during ripening of two diploid banana fruit [PDF]
We previously shown that diploid dessert cultivars accumulate more sucrose during ripening on plant than diploid cooking cultivars, and that Acid Invertase (AIV) might be in this case important by correlating the ratio sucrose / glucose + fructose of ...

Convective Ripening and Initiation of Rainfall
This paper discusses the evolution of the droplet size distribution for a liquid-in-gas aerosol contained in a Rayleigh-B\'enard cell. It introduces a non-collisional model for broadening the droplet size distribution, termed 'convective ripening'.

Changes of ultrasound characteristics of mango juice during fruit ripening [PDF]
Attenuation and propagation velocity of ultrasound signals at 25 MHz were measured on clear mango juice samples using a pulse echo method. Ultrasound characteristics were determined with other physico-chemical characteristics on juice samples extracted ...

The Effects of After-ripening, Heat and Nitric Acid on Seed Dormancy of Four Local Cultivars of Padi (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]
Four local cultivars of padi, namely MR 71, MR 73, MR 77 and IR 42, have more than 80% dormant seeds when freshly harvested. After-npening, especially in the air-conditioned room was effective in overcoming their dormancy and increasing germination to ...

Parameters for apple quality: and an outline for a new quality concept - part 1 report [PDF]
In real life it is hard to distinguish between the two life processes, growth and differentiation. We cannot expect one measured parameter to represent only one aspect of vital quality.

Survival of Staphylococcus aureus during the manufacture and ripening of camembert cheese : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Food Technology, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Staphylococcal Food Poisoning (SFP) is the third most common cause of food poisoning internationally, caused by an enterotoxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus contamination in dairy products, including cheese, can lead to SFP.

Phase ordering with a global conservation law: Ostwald ripening and coalescence
Globally conserved phase ordering dynamics is investigated in systems with short range correlations in the initial condition. A Ginzburg-Landau equation with a global conservation law is employed as the phase field model.

Evolution of gene families involved in banana fruit development and ripening : W077 [PDF]
A reference genome sequence of banana was recently obtained from a Musa acuminata doubled-haploid accession (DH-Pahang, 523 Mb) and organized into eleven pseudomolecules. This genome opens brand new perspectives for the identification of genes underlying
