Moisture sorption isotherms and isosteric heat determination in Chilean papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens) [PDF]
The moisture sorption isotherms of Chilean papaya were determined at 5, 20, and 45 ºC, over a relative humidity range of 10-95%. The GAB, BET, Oswin, Halsey, Henderson, Smith, Caurie and Iglesias-Chirife models were applied to the sorption experimental ...

Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes in Vasconcellea pubescens A.DC. and Carica papaya L. [PDF]
AbstractThe chloroplast genome is an integral part of plant genomes in a species along with nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, contributing to adaptation, diversification, and evolution of plant lineages. In the family Caricaceae, only the Carica papaya chloroplast genome and its nuclear and mitochondrial genomes were sequenced, and no chloroplast ...

PARTIAL SEQUENCES OF THE GENE THAT CODIFIES FOR THE TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR VPHSFB1 IN Vasconcellea pubescens. FIRST REPORT [PDF]
Plant heat stress transcription factors (HSFs) are involved in the response to heat. In Arabidopsis thaliana the HSFs genes are completely identified, however there was no information available about these genes in Vasconcellea pubescens (Chamburo) until

The Diverse Iron Distribution in Eudicotyledoneae Seeds: From Arabidopsis to Quinoa [PDF]
Seeds accumulate iron during embryo maturation stages of embryogenesis. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as model plant, it has been described that mature embryos accumulate iron within a specific cell layer, the endodermis.

The mountain papaya may be a possible reservoir of the Kashmir bee virus [PDF]
Background The Kashmir bee virus (KBV) infects many species of Hymenoptera, including bees, wasps, and other pollinators, potentially contributing to honeybee population declines. KBV can cause death of bees.

Antifungal Effect of the Proteolytic Fraction P1G10 Stabilized by Alginate–Chitosan Polyelectrolyte Complexation Against Botrytis cinerea [PDF]
Botrytis cinerea is a major phytopathogen responsible for significant postharvest losses in plant-derived foods. The increasing resistance to synthetic fungicides has driven the search for sustainable alternatives, including enzyme-based biofungicides ...

Vacuum drying of Chilean papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens) fruit pulp: effect of drying temperature on kinetics and quality parameters. [PDF]
Chilean papaya is grown in Central Chile and is considered to be an important source of fiber, sugars, and antioxidants. The effect of different vacuum drying temperatures (40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 °C) on the composition of papaya pulp was evaluated. The inhibitory effect of papaya extracts on α-glucosidase activity, as a regulator of blood sugar, was ...
