For ornamental plants grown for their flowers, increased flower set can be beneficial and similarly improved flower and subsequent fruit set can be an advantage in vegetable production, provided that fruit size and quality are not compromised. Flower and/or fruit set was improved in tomatoes, petun...
Absence of JH at a particular time window in pre-adult instar(s) allows for metamorphosis, that is, development to adult. In the adult, the CA become active again and the JH plays an important role in reproduction of certain insects (review by Wyatt and Davey, 1996). JH controls also ...
In the early development of Chieh-qua fruit, there are differences in gene expression at different stages before and after pollination and during fruit expansion, indicating that fruit expansion starts after pollination, and transcription factors play an important role in the expansion process. These ...
It is a sequen- tial process that starts with gathering key information about risk factors with a questionnaire; subsequently, simple physical measurements and blood samples for biochemical analysis are collected. The WHO STEPS includes a representative sample of the study population, which allows the...

(15 min. per sample) revealed that one candidate (Solyc08g075210) generated an acetylated compound that is acetoxytomatine (m/z1092.54; C52H85NO23) when incubated with hydroxytomatine (m/z1050.50; C50H83NO22) and acetyl-CoA as acyl donor (Fig.2b). The acetoxytomatine peak observed...

PpEIL3 showed an almost equal ability to activate either P0 or P1 promoters but with a dramatically reduced ability to activate both P2 and P3 deletion constructs (Figure 7B). This indicated that PpEIL3 interacted with the PERE-like motif (ATTCAAA). Similarly, PpERF.F2 showed the strongest...
The present work investigates whether fruit size of large fruited-cultivars could be promoted by an alteration of the cell ploidy profile in contrast to small fruited-cultivars. For this, we measured the ploidy levels and cell size of olive fruit to clarify events that had occurred at the cel...
