antidiabetic effects of mangifera indica kernel flour-supplemented diet in streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes in rats.our previous report showed that mangifera indica kernel flour (mikf) is a rich source of pharmacologically important flavonoids and phenolic acids; and that its methanolic extract inhibits some key enzymes linked to the pathology and complications of type 2 diabetes (t2d) in vitro. hence, this study evaluated the antidiabetic effects of 10% and 20% mikf-supplemented diets in t2d in rats. t2d was induced in rats using a high-fat diet (hfd), low-dose streptozotocin (hfd/stz) model, by feeding the ...201627826432
deciphering the costs of reproduction in mango - vegetative growth matters.irregular fruit production across successive years is a major issue that limits the profitability of most temperate and tropical fruit crops. it is particularly affected by the reciprocal relationships between vegetative and reproductive growth. the concept of the costs of reproduction is defined in terms of losses in the potential future reproductive success caused by current investment in reproduction. this concept, developed in ecology and evolutionary biology, could provide a methodological ...201627818665
transcriptome dynamics in mango fruit peel reveals mechanisms of chilling stress.cold storage is considered the most effective method for prolonging fresh produce storage. however, subtropical fruit is sensitive to cold. symptoms of chilling injury (ci) in mango include red and black spots that start from discolored lenticels and develop into pitting. the response of 'keitt' mango fruit to chilling stress was monitored by transcriptomic, physiological, and microscopic analyses. transcriptomic changes in the mango fruit peel were evaluated during optimal (12°c) and suboptimal ...201627812364
