Physiological and proteomic approaches to address the active role of ozone in kiwifruit post-harvest ripening
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Post-harvest ozone application has recently been shown to inhibit the onset of senescence symptoms on fleshy fruit and vegetables; however, the exact mechanism of action is yet unknown. To characterize the impact of ozone ...
NMR characterization and dynamics of vanadium(V) complexes with tripod (hydroquinonate/phenolate) iminodiacetate ligands in aqueous solution
(IUPAC, 2009)
Reaction of NH 4VO 3 with (phenolate/hydroquinonate) iminodiacetate tripod ligands in aqueous solution in the pH range 7-8 results in the isolation of three new dioxido vanadium(V) complexes, one dinuclear (NH 4) 4{(V VO) ...
Survival of Pseudoperonospora cubensis sporangia exposed to solar radiation
(Wiley, 2010)
To determine the effects of solar radiation on the survival of sporangia of Pseudoperonospora cubensis, the cause of cucurbit downy mildew, detached sporangia of P. cubensis were either exposed to the sun or placed in the ...
The effect of postharvest ripening on strawberry bioactive composition and antioxidant potential
(Society of Chemical Industry, 2011)
Background: The aim of the present work was to evaluate the phytochemical profile and the antioxidant activity of strawberry fruit (cv. Camarosa) upon postharvest ripening at room temperature (20 °C) and to correlate them ...
Proteomics in the fruit tree science arena: new insights into fruit defense, development and ripening
(John Wiley, 2013)
Fruit tree crops are agricultural commodities of high economic importance, while fruits also represent one of the most vital components of the human diet. Therefore, a great effort has been made to understand the molecular ...
Irrigation Water Pricing in Southern Europe and Cyprus: The effects of the EU Common Agricultural Policy and the Water Framework Directive
(2009)
The agricultural policy adopted by the European Union until recently has contributed to economically inefficient, environmentally unsustainable and socially inequitable management of irrigation water in Southern Europe. ...
Oxidative and nitrosative-based signaling and associated post-translational modifications orchestrate the acclimation of citrus plants to salinity stress
(Wiley, 2012)
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are involved in a plethora of cellular responses in plants; however, our knowledge on the outcomes of oxidative and nitrosative signaling is still unclear. To better understand how ...
PH-potentiometric investigation towards chelating tendencies of p -hydroquinone and phenol iminodiacetate copper(II) complexes
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
Copper ions in the active sites of several proteins/enzymes interact with phenols and quinones, and this interaction is associated to the reactivity of the enzymes. In this study the speciation of the Cu 2+ with iminodiacetic ...
Priming against environmental challenges and proteomics in plants: update and agricultural perspectives
(Frontiers, 2013)
Priming is the cellular state in which the harmful effects of abiotic stress factors in plants are hindered by pre-exposure to a stimulus, thus resulting in greater survival. It is becoming increasingly evident that priming ...
Exploring the phytochemical content and the antioxidant potential of Citrus fruits grown in Cyprus
(Elsevier, 2012)
The physicochemical and phytochemical profile as well as the antioxidant properties of the most important Citrus fruits grown in Cyprus [orange (Citrus sinensis, cv. ‘Valencia’), grapefruit (Citrus paradisi, cvs. ‘White ...
