  1. The effects of radiation on pregermination plant seeds

    Using pregermination plant seeds as a model for proliferative tissue, we have investigated the effects of gamma radiation and hyperthermia on barley and alfalfa. Barley seeds soaked for up to 16h prior to irradiation were given doses of gamma radiation up to 100 Gy, and alfalfa seeds soaked for up …

  2. The Use of Lactic Acid Bacteria to Control the Growth of Foodborne Pathogens on Fresh-Cut Fruits and Sprout Vegetables

    … <em>Salmonella </em>spp. on apple slices and alfalfa sprouts and it’s influence on product quality. Apple slices inoculated with <em>E. coli </em>O157:H7, <em>L. monocytogenes, </em>and <em>Salmonella </em>spp. (each at 10<sup>4 </sup>CFU/g) were treated with <em>Lb. plantarum</em> alone and …

  3. Inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on raw vegetable sprouts

    … The results showed that spraying radish seeds soaked in 200 ppm chlorine solution with 0.04% calcinated calcium solution had potential in inhibiting growth of E. coli O157:H7. The study also demonstrated that 20,000 ppm chlorine wash was not sufficient to completely eliminate E. coli …

  4. Characterization of the Sinorhizobum Meliloti Chotaxis System

    … meliloti and its legume host Medicago sativa (alfalfa), the fourth largest USA crop used for animal feed. Advancing research for this symbiosis model can provide solutions to enhance yield while minimizing environmental impacts. Chapter 2 focuses on the deviation of the S. meliloti chemotaxis …

  5. Elucidation of the Specificity of S. meliloti Chemoreceptors for Host Derived Attractants

    … Melilotus, and Trigonella. Medicago sativa (alfalfa) is an agriculturally important legume that hosts S. meliloti and allows the bacterium to invade the plant root and begin fixing nitrogen. Prior to invasion, S. meliloti exists as a free living bacterium and must navigate through the soil to …
