Oxidation of ascorbic acid by metal ions like copper was prevented by addition of anthocyanin
(cyanidin derivative). Previous reports attributed the ability of flavonoids to protect …

… Carotenoid concentrations were then calculated using a linear regression y = ax + b, where
y = concentration and x = area of the five-point standard curve. The regression equation and …

… Since a temporal difference in the synthesis of carotenoids in the outer pericarp and inner
pericarp was observed in the hp1 mutant (Y. Sreelakshmi and R. Sharma, unpublished data), …

Several Penjar accessions of tomato grown in the Mediterranean exhibit prolonged shelf life
and harbor alcobaca mutation. To uncover the metabolic basis underlying shelf life, we …

… In (b)–(e), the values indicated on the Y axis are DPA required for transition from one phase
to the next phase, and the dashed lines denote corresponding DPA values of wild types. …

The identification of mutations in targeted genes has been significantly simplified by the
advent of TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions In Genomes), speeding up the functional …

… Similarly, identification of SNPs in eIF4E in Capsicum accessions led to identification of
five new eIF4E variants that were related to Potato virus Y-resistance responses [19]. In rice, a …

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in growth and disease resistance in plants. It also acts
as a secondary messenger in signaling pathways for several plant hormones. Despite its …

The polycotyledon mutant of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv Ailsa Craig) showed
altered development during embryogenesis and during vegetative and reproductive phases. …

… The linearity of each folate standard was evaluated by plotting the peak area at different
concentrations and sample concentrations were calculated from the equation y = mx + c. R 2 …
