Effect of Low Dose Irradiation on Expression of Genes Involved in Ethylene Biosynthesis of 'Granny Smith' Apples
<p>Superficial scald is a physiological disorder characterized by skin browning that appears during or after storage of ‘Granny Smith’ apples. The mechanism for scald development is not fully understood, but it is hypothesized that scald formation is related to increased ethylene production. In …

Effect of Harvest Time on the Incidence of Red Drupelet Reversion and Development of Tetraploid Linkage Maps in Blackberry
… prevalence of red drupelet reversion (RDR), a physiological disorder where the drupelets of a fully black berry begin to turn red after harvest. A two-year study was done at the UA System to discover if harvesting at different times of day and/or harvesting genotypes with different levels of …

Development of diagnostic tools to predict incidence of bitter pit during apple storage
Bitter pit is an important physiological disorder of many apple cultivars where the low uptake and poor distribution of calcium within the cortex of apples pervades. Controlled atmosphere storage and application of 1-MCP (SmartFreshSM) can delay the onset of bitter pit symptoms by delaying maturity …

Soil Properties That Influence the Occurrence of Hydrogen Sulfide Toxicity in Rice Fields
… season. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) toxicity is a physiological disorder where sulfate (SO42-) is excessively reduced to the toxic gas, H2S. This can reduce yield and, in severe cases, result in crop death. The main research objectives were to: i) understand chemical and physical characteristics in …

EEG activation patterns in the frontal lobes of stutterers and nonstutterers during working memory tasks
Developmental stuttering is a physiological disorder of speech motor control. Unlike acquired conditions, developmental stuttering is responsive to fluency-inducing conditions involving the manipulation or elimination of auditory feedback. It was hypothesized that stutterers experience interference …

The Relationship Between Mineral Nutrition and Late-Season Bunch Stem Necrosis of Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera L.) Grapevines
… and calcium appeared not to be involved in the disorder. The results illustrate that BSN-prone vineyards should be individually examined for nutrient imbalance or other stresses that may be contributing to BSN.
