TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the stability of polyphenolics, antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities of peduncle and fruit by in-vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion method and found that most of the polyphenolic compounds (gallic acid, catechin, rutin and quercetin) are easily bioaccessible in the fruit than peduncle.
Abstract: Phoenix loureirii is a dwarf date palm belongs to the family Arecaceae. Regular consumption of peduncle and fruit of this plant helps to improve our health system. The present study aims to investigate the stability of polyphenolics, antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities of peduncle and fruit by in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion method. The fruit methanol extract showed higher total phenolic (46.17 g GAE/100 g extract), flavonoid (79.25 g RE/100 g extract) and pro-anthocyanidin (0.24 g CE/100 g extract) contents than peduncle. In vitro digestion method proved that most of the polyphenolic compounds (gallic acid, catechin, rutin and quercetin) are easily bioaccessible in the fruit than peduncle. The stability of antioxidants (DPPH , ABTS + , phosphomolybdenum and FRAP) and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities were found maximum after gastric digestion than pancreatic digestion. In conclusion, polyphenolic compounds are not completely degraded and made easily accessible to exert their biological effects in the gastro-intestinal tract.

TL;DR: It is shown that three weakly electric mormyrid fish specimens collected at three widely separated localities in Gabon, Africa over a 13-year period represent an unrecognized lineage within the subfamily Mormyrinae and its phylogenetic position with respect to other taxa is determined.
Abstract: We use mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data to show that three weakly electric mormyrid fish specimens collected at three widely separated localities in Gabon, Africa over a 13-year period represent an unrecognized lineage within the subfamily Mormyrinae and determine its phylogenetic position with respect to other taxa. We describe these three specimens as a new genus containing two new species. Cryptomyrus, new genus, is readily distinguished from all other mormyrid genera by a combination of features of squamation, morphometrics, and dental attributes. Cryptomyrus ogoouensis, new species, is differentiated from its single congener, Cryptomyrus ona, new species, by the possession of an anal-fin origin located well in advance of the dorsal fin, a narrow caudal peduncle and caudal-fin lobes nearly as long as the peduncle. In Cryptomyrus ona, the anal-fin origin is located only slightly in advance of the dorsal fin, the caudal peduncle is deep and the caudal-fin lobes considerably shorter than the peduncle. Continued discovery of new taxa within the "Lower Guinea Clade" of Mormyridae highlights the incompleteness of our knowledge of fish diversity in West-Central Africa. We present a revised key to the mormyrid genera of Lower Guinea.

TL;DR: In this study, F2 populations were developed from a cross between two inbred lines, 1101 with a long peduncle and 1694 with a short peduncle, providing insights into the inheritance and molecular mechanism of the variation of FPL in cucumber.
Abstract: Mechanized harvesting of cucumbers offers significant advantages compared to manual labor as both shortages and costs of labor increase. However the efficient use of machines depends on breeding plants with longer peduncles, but the genetic and molecular basis of fruit peduncle development in cucumber is not well understood. In this study, F2 populations were developed from a cross between two inbred lines, 1101 with a long peduncle and 1694 with a short peduncle. These were grown at two field sites, Hainan, with a tropical marine climate, in December 2014, and Beijing, with a warm temperate climate, in May 2015. Electron microscope examination of the pith cells in the peduncles of the two parental lines showed that line 1101 had significantly greater numbers of smaller cells compared to line 1694. The inheritance of cucumber fruit peduncle length (FPL) was investigated by the mixed major gene and polygene inheritance model. Genetic analysis indicated that FPL in cucumber is quantitatively inherited and controlled by one additive major gene and additive-dominant polygenes (D-2 model). A total of 1460 pairs of SSR (simple sequence repeat) primers were analyzed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Two similar genetic maps with 78 SSR markers which covered 720.6 cM in seven linkage groups were constructed based on two F2 populations. QTL analysis from the data collected at the two field sites showed that there are two minor QTLs on chromosome 1, named qfpl1.1 and qfpl1.2, and one major QTL on chromosome 6, named qfpl6.1. The marker UW021226, which was the closest one to qfpl6.1, had an accuracy rate of 79.0% when tested against plants selected from populations of the two parents. The results from this study provide insights into the inheritance and molecular mechanism of the variation of FPL in cucumber, and further research will be carried out to fine map qfpl6.1 to develop more accurate markers for MAS breeding.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for preparing functional tea with peduncle of nipa fruticans and functional tea prepared thereby is presented, which has an advantage of promoting the health of a tea drinker as the tea has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing functional tea with peduncle of nipa fruticans and functional tea prepared thereby. More specifically, the method for preparing functional tea with peduncle of nipa fruticans comprises the steps of: cutting peduncle of nipa fruticans; heating the cut peduncle in boiling water for 20 to 40 minutes; tearing off the heated penduncle in a longitudinal direction; firstly removing moisture from the torn penduncle; inputting the penduncle from which moisture was firstly removed to allow the same to have salinity of 8 to 12%; aging the salted penduncle for 40 to 60 hours; secondarily removing moisture from the aged penduncle; removing salt from the penduncle from which moisture was secondly removed by putting the same in water; thirdly removing moisture from the penduncle from which salt is removed; drying the penduncle from which moisture was thirdly removed; and roasting the dried penduncle. The functional teach according to the present invention has an advantage of promoting the health of a tea drinker as the tea has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

TL;DR: This study provides new information on the ecology of poorly known species, which are ubiquitous and suspected to play an important ecological role in deep-water ecosystems.
Abstract: Spatial and temporal shifts in biometric features were examined in three common deep-water pennatulacean corals (sea pens) from the Northwest Atlantic: Anthoptilum grandiflorum, Halipteris finmarchica and Pennatula aculeata. These three species show different morphological characters and adaptations to their environment. Analyses of colony length, ratio of peduncle to colony length, weight/length ratio, polyp size and density as well as sclerite shape, location and abundance indicate that their phenotype is modulated by environmental factors (e.g. food availability, currents and sediment type) and antipredator strategies. Moreover, the three species had different carbon and nitrogen stable isotope signatures that could be explain primarily by their different polyp diameters and colony shapes, suggesting that they rely on slightly different food sources (varying proportions of phytodetritus and zooplankton). Finally, sclerites were found only in H. finmarchica and P. aculeata and are not known to occur in A. grandiflorum, except for minute oval bodies inside the peduncle. The Mg/Ca ratio of sclerites differed between the two species and, for P. aculeata, among types of sclerites, evoking different biomineralization pathways related to their functional roles (structural support or defence). Overall, this study provides new information on the ecology of poorly known species, which are ubiquitous and suspected to play an important ecological role in deep-water ecosystems.

TL;DR: Konya et al. as mentioned in this paper reported on the development of a practical-type container with improved shape and material, and measured the container's basic performance, such as temperature following capability and peduncle grip force, and conducted vibration and dropping tests to examine its practical utility.
Abstract: We have previously reported on the design of individual packaging containers for strawberries to prevent the degradation of quality. The container is bivalve-shaped and the two “shells” of the bivalve grip the peduncle of the fruit, thereby allowing packaging without the fruit coming into contact with the packaging material. We observed that the rate of weight loss and the extent of damage were lower for strawberries packed in individual containers than for strawberries packed in conventional packages. Thus, these containers preserve the quality of strawberries more efficiently (Konya et al. 2015). This review reports on the development of a practical-type container with improved shape and material. We measured the container’s basic performance, such as temperature following capability and peduncle grip force, and also conducted vibration and dropping tests to examine its practical utility. As a result, we observed that the practical-type container is resistant to vibration during transport, but vulnerable to dropping when the peduncle is positioned at the top. Thus, in case of long haul or transshipment transportation, the peduncle should be positioned at the bottom. Discipline: Postharvest technology Additional key words: damage, grip, peduncle, quality

TL;DR: There is no clear abscission zone between the peduncle and the coffee fruit and physiological differences between maturation stages were observed and can largely explain the different detachment forces required at different stages.
Abstract: In order to investigate the existence of a possible abscission zone in the binding region between the peduncle and the coffee fruit, as well as the biochemical events involved in fruit ripening, we studied peduncles and fruits of Coffea arabica L. cv. “Icatu amarelo”. Coffee fruits were harvested at different maturation stages by using specific intervals of detachment force. It was observed a breakdown in the cells of the connecting region between peduncles and fruits throughout the maturation process. This disruption is probably caused by increased activity of the cell wall-loosening enzymes (polygalacturonase and cellulase) as well as by higher levels of lipid peroxidation in the final maturation stages. In general, physiological differences between maturation stages were observed and can largely explain the different detachment forces required at different stages. In conclusion, there is no clear abscission zone between the peduncle and the coffee fruit cv. “Icatu amarelo”. Nevertheless, the decrease in the detachment force throughout the maturation process can occur due to the activity of cell wall-degrading enzymes together with increased oxidative stress during the fruit ripening.

TL;DR: Two types of grain yield elaboration of cultivated wheat in the post-anthesis water deficit conditions are highlighted: dry weight development of the grains and peduncle assimilated dry matter contribution in the grain filling.
Abstract: In a part of study on morpho-physiological characterization in durum wheat; we were interested in quantifying the stem dry matter produced after anthesis and its contribution in the grain filling. When the climatic conditions are unfavorable ; the photosynthetic activity of the post-anthesis is reduced. The plant then uses the assimilates stored in the stem to increase its filling rate of grain. Thus, the behavior of four varieties of durum wheat is analyzed in the field using different parameters: (i) relative water content (RWC) of the flag leaf (ii) dry weight development of the grains (iii) peduncle assimilated dry matter contribution in the grain filling. The leaf water status, appreciated by measuring the RWC, is an indicator of the photosynthetic apparatus functioning. The measured values showed a significant difference between two agricultural companions. The results also showed a genotypic difference in the dry matter accumulation in the grains, mainly related to its filling speed. The accumulation of assimilates in the peduncle during the days following flowering, constitutes an advantage of reserves in dry matter before installation of water deficit. Indeed, it affects production by decreasing the photosynthetic activity. In conclusion, this experiment has highlighted two types of grain yield elaboration of cultivated wheat in the post-anthesis water deficit conditions.

TL;DR: Comparisons show that a number of unique traits of adult O. batrachostoma resemble conditions seen in juvenile specimens of other members of Stegophilinae, and suggest that the species is paedomorphic, although to a degree less extreme than seen in some other trichomycterids.
Abstract: The lepidophagous stegophiline catfish Ochmacanthus batrachostoma (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1912) is endemic to the Parana-Paraguai basin and is the only member of its genus in that drainage. It remains a poorly-known taxon mainly due to the historical scarcity of study specimens. The species is herein redescribed on the basis of type and non-type specimens from Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Ochmacanthus batrachostoma can be distinguished from congeners by the presence of long maxillary and rictal barbels, reduction of the posterior end of the caudal peduncle, a tadpole-like caudal fin and peduncle, among other morphometric traits and features of internal anatomy. Comparisons show that a number of unique traits of adult O. batrachostoma resemble conditions seen in juvenile specimens of other members of Stegophilinae. Such traits are also more pronounced in juveniles of O. batrachostoma itself. The species also has the smallest maximum body size in Ochmacanthus and among the smallest of any stegophiline. In combination, such observations suggest that the species is paedomorphic, although to a degree less extreme than seen in some other trichomycterids. This is the first possible case of paedomorphosis identified for stegophilines.

TL;DR: Correlation analysis showed significant and positive reltionship among sedd yield and other traits, and step-wise regression and path analysis designated that grain filling rate, grain filling duration and no.spike/m2 were the best indirect selection criteria to increase seed yield in common wheat.
Abstract: Determination of the best selection indices in early generations through traits having heritability higher than yield as well as correlated significantly with seed yield is one of the most important breeding procedures. In order to determination of the most yielding bread wheat genotypes, identification of the traits affective on seed and protein yield as well as parents of the best crosses an experiment was conducted during 20142015. The randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Bread wheat genotypes comprised; Sepahan and Roshan cultivars as controls along with 18 lines entitled M-93-3 to M-93-20. Correlation analysis showed significant and positive reltionship among sedd yield and other traits. More over, step-wise regression and path analysis designated that grain filling rate, grain filling duration and no.spike/m2 were the best indirect selection criteria to increase seed yield in common wheat. Increasingly, peduncle length, no. seed/spike and no. spikelet/spike were recommended to improve spike yield while peduncle diameter, days to flowering, days to maturity and plant height for photosynthetic reservoir improvement.

The present work will facilitate gene pyramiding approaches against stripe and leaf rust and may be useful in future wheat improvement programs.
TL;DR: Symptoms of zinc (Zn) or boron (B) deficiencies in fruit and leaves are common in the Hass avocado producing region AT the State of California.
Abstract: Symptoms of zinc (Zn) or boron (B) deficiencies in fruit and leaves are common in the Hass avocado (Persea americana Mill.) producing region AT the State of Nayarit, Mexico. Monitoring foliar concentrations of these micronutrients in response to fertilization does not always provide an accurate diagnosis. This research evaluated the effect of soil fertilization with Zn or B on the concentration of these nutrients in the tissue of different plant structures of Hass avocado. The study was conducted in a commercial Hass avocado orchard grown without irrigation under the sub-humid semi-warm climate of Tepic, Nayarit. Treatments were applied to the soil during the 2001 to 2005 rainy seasons (July and September) and consisted of (g per tree per year): (T1) two applications of 750 g ZnSO4 (35.5 % Zn); (T-2) two applications of 29.5 g Boronat® (32 % B); and (T-3) control without Zn or B applications. Sampled tissues were floral buds at “cauliflower” stage, complete inflorescences at anthesis, flowers at anthesis, rachis of inflorescences at anthesis, fruit peduncle + pedicel at physiological maturity, fruit pulp, and 6-month old leaves from the winter vegetative flush. Tissues that showed the best response to fertilization with Zn were the rachis of inflorescences at anthesis and the fruit pulp at physiological maturity. For B, the best tissues were complete inflorescences at anthesis and the peduncle + pedicel of fruit at physiological maturity.
