Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals distinct ethylene – independent regulation of ripening in response to low temperature in kiwifruit
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Kiwifruit are classified as climacteric since exogenous ethylene (or its analogue propylene) induces rapid ripening accompanied by ethylene production under positive feedback regulation. However, most of the ripening–associated ...
Expression profiling of Trypanosoma congolense genes during development in the tsetse fly vector Glossina morsitans morsitans
(BioMed Central, 2018-12)
The tsetse transmitted parasitic flagellate Trypanosoma congolense causes animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) across sub-Saharan Africa. AAT negatively impacts agricultural, economic, nutritional and subsequently, health ...
Effect of Nanocomposite-Based Packaging on Microstructure and Energy Metabolism of Agaricus Bisporus
(Elsevier, 2018)
Rapid deterioration of postharvest Agaricus bisporus is a serious problem. Measures to improve the shelf-life are of great importance. Therefore, we used a nanocomposite-based packaging material (Nano-PM) containing ...
Influence of different storage conditions on physical and sensory properties of freeze-dried Agaricus bisporus slices.
(Elsevier, 2018)
Abstract
To explore the influences of storage conditions on freeze-dried Agaricus bisporus slices, the dynamic changes of physical and sensory properties under different conditions (37 °C, 85% RH; 25 °C, 55% RH; ambient ...
Molecular characterization of Echinococcus species in dogs from four regions of Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
Cystic echinococcosis is endemic both in livestock and humans in many parts of Kenya. However, very little data exists on Echinococcus infections in dogs, and therefore their role in maintaining the transmission cycles and ...
A fine-tuned vector-parasite dialogue in tsetse's cardia determines peritrophic matrix integrity and trypanosome transmission success
(PLoS Pathog, 2018)
Arthropod vectors have multiple physical and immunological barriers that impede the development and transmission of parasites to new vertebrate hosts. These barriers include the peritrophic matrix (PM), a chitinous barrier ...
