development of a high-resolution multi-locus microsatellite typing method for colletotrichum gloeosporioides.	colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an economically important fungal pathogen causing substantial yield losses indifferent host plants. to understand the genetic diversity and molecular epidemiology of this fungus, we have developed a novel, high-resolution multi-locus microsatellite typing (mlmt) method. bioinformatic analysis of c. gloeosporioides unannotated genome sequence yielded eight potential microsatellite loci, of which five, cg1 (gt)n, cg2 (gt1)n, cg3 (tc)n, cg4 (ct)n, and cg5 (ct1)n we ...	2017	29371809
management of fruit species in urban home gardens of argentina atlantic forest as an influence for landscape domestication.	home gardens are considered germplasm repositories and places for experimentation, thus they are key sites for the domestication of plants. domestication is considered a constant process that occurs along a continuum from wild to managed to domesticated populations. management may lead to the modification of populations and in other cases to their distribution, changing population structure in a landscape. our objective is focused on the management received in home gardens by perennial species o ...	2017	29033964
low-dose irradiation with modified atmosphere packaging for mango against the oriental fruit fly (diptera: tephritidae).	irradiation is used to disinfest the oriental fruit fly, bactrocera dorsalis (hendel) (diptera: tephritidae) and other pests on mango fruits before export from thailand to foreign markets. modified atmosphere packaging (map) used during export of mangoes creates a low-oxygen environment that may reduce the efficacy of quarantine irradiation treatment against b. dorsalis. 'nam dok mai' mangoes infested with third-instar larvae of b. dorsalis, wrapped with three different kinds of map bags (cf1, f ...	2017	29294024
the attractiveness of the gravid aedes trap to dengue vectors in fiji.	the gravid aedes trap (gat) is a passive trap that relies on visual and olfactory cues to lure and capture gravid mosquitoes. the gat was designed as a dengue vector surveillance tool for use in conditions where power sources are not readily available. experiments were conducted over a 10-d period in fiji to determine which species of mosquitoes the gat would collect, how different infusion types affect the attractiveness of the trap, how long each infusion type took to begin attracting mosquito ...	2017	29244174

molecular analysis of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway genes and their differential expression in mango peel.	mango fruit is cherished by masses for its taste and nutrition, contributed by color, flavor and aroma. among these, peel color is an important trait contributing to fruit quality and market value. we attempted to elucidate the role of key genes of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway related to fruit peel color from the leaf transcriptome of cv. amrapali. a total of 108 mined transcript sequences were assigned to phenylpropanoid flavonoid pathway from which 15 contigs representing anthocyanin biosy ...	2018	29338343
suppressive effect of ethanol extract from mango (mangifera indica l.) peel on ige production in vitro and in vivo.	immunoglobulin e (ige) is involved in the onset of allergic reaction, and the suppression of ige production leads to alleviation of allergic symptoms. we found that mango peel ethanol extract (mpe) significantly suppresses ige production by human myeloma cell line u266 cells, suggesting that mpe has an anti-allergic effect by inhibiting the production of ige. although mangiferin is contained in mango, which suppresses ige production by u266 cells, it was not contained in mpe. we investigated the ...	2018	29297259
dietary pectin and mango pulp effects on small intestinal enzyme activity levels and macronutrient digestion in grower pigs.	the effects of refined pectin and mango pulp on macronutrient digestion and small intestinal enzyme activity were studied in grower pigs. diets based on wheat starch with and without apple pectin or dried mango fruit pulp were fed to 30 grower pigs for 21 days. pigs were euthanized two hours postprandially, and their gastrointestinal contents recovered. starch and protein digestion as well as α-amylase activity were all increased in pigs fed pectin. in contrast, fat digestion, lipase and proteas ...	2018	29340436
effect of carbon dioxide (co2) and oxygen (o2) levels on quality of 'palmer' mangoes under controlled atmosphere storage.	with the objective to evaluate the modifications in the fruit quality, 'palmer' mangoes were stored at 12.8 °c for 30 days in controlled atmosphere storage that contained a low level of oxygen (5 kpa) which was associated with increasing levels of carbon dioxide co2 (0, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kpa co2). controlled atmosphere storage did not effect mango respiration. however, transfer mangoes, that were previously stored at high levels of co2 (5 kpa o2 + 15 kpa co2 and 5 kpa o2 + 20 kpa co2) to ambie ...	2018	29358805
