Molecular cloning and characterization of Polygalacturonase-Inhibiting Protein and Cinnamoyl-Coa Reductase genes and their association with fruit storage conditions in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

TLDR
Although the prospects of exploiting such a strategy for crop improvement are limited, the results provide further insight into the control of the quality over the storage period at the molecular level.

Effects of freezing conditions on quality changes in blueberries

TL;DR: Although the freezing speed for samples immersed in liquid nitrogen was faster than other treatments, samples treated at -80‬C showed better quality regarding vacuole water holding, drip loss, and original pectin content retention.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice

TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.

The leucine-rich repeat: a versatile binding motif.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of ribonuclease inhibitor protein has revealed that leucine-rich repeats correspond to beta-alpha structural units, which are arranged so that they form a parallel beta-sheet with one surface exposed to solvent, so that the protein acquires an unusual, nonglobular shape.

Reverse transcriptase template switching: a SMART approach for full-length cDNA library construction.

TL;DR: A fast, simple method for constructing full-length cDNA libraries using SMART technology, which uses the template-switching activity of Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase to synthesize and anchor first-strand cDNA in one step.
