Carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit ripening is modulated by the auxin-ethylene balance [PDF]
, 2015 Background : Tomato fruit ripening is controlled by ethylene and is characterized by a shift in color from green to red, a strong accumulation of lycopene, and a decrease in β-xanthophylls and chlorophylls.

Recent progress in the identification and determination of freshwater phytoplankton in the natural environment [PDF]
, 1997 The biomass of the phytoplankton and its composition is one of the most important factors in water quality control. Determination of the phytoplankton assemblage is usually done by microscopic analysis (Utermöhl's method). Quantitative estimations of the

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...
