they are being grown in, with enough shade to protect fruit from scald, enough fruit to yield well, and some resistance to pests. Tomato Harvest occurs 75 to 80 days after transplant, although this varies by region and variety grown. For commercial processing tomatoes, a one-time machine harvest is used after the tomatoes are deemed ripe enough. Tomatoes, whether handpicked or commercially grown, are picked immature and then ripened later to prevent damage during shipping. Tomato ripeness is determined based on the color of the fruit. They are picked anywhere from mature green to the breaker (pink at the calyx end of the fruit) stage, depending on the operation. Tomatoes picked before mature green will not ripen properly with exposure to ethylene gas and would be considered unsaleable. Fruit should be waxy, free from damage (insect, hail, etc.), and have smooth, corky tissue at the stem scar. If the tomato is being picked one the vine, the vines should be free from damage as well. Fresh market tomatoes are hand-picked when they are ripe enough, often for a few weeks as tomatoes varieties generally ripen over a short period. Tomatoes are packed into polyethylene bins and then bulked into larger 1000 pound bins or directly picked into smaller boxes, depending on the operation and the stage that the tomato is at. Tomatoes are graded initially by the picker, avoiding damaged ones, or wet tomatoes. Wet tomatoes increase the amount of field heat given off from bins, causing…

The section has an examination of supporting evidence or contradicting conclusions, and suggestions for the further research. At the end of the discussion section, all the findings are joined together and summarized in a final statement. The Oracle paper has a complete analyzing of the evidence except for suggesting further research and possible contradicting conclusions. It seems that the purpose of this paper was to reinforce a previous claim about the Delphi oracle made prophecies after being…

It was my fourth attempt at making banana bread. The first attempt, it looked amazing, but crumbled into pieces as soon as I cut a slice. It was too dry because there was too much dry ingredients and less wet ingredients. The second attempt, it tasted like literal white bread. The texture was still dry but lacked sweetness because the bananas weren’t ripe enough and the sugar wasn’t enough. The third attempt, it looked like the flatbread sandwich from Panera. The sweetness was just right but…

Results Unit 800 produces ethylene and acetic acid through the partial oxidation of ethane. Ethylene, the most abundant product from the unit, is partitioned such that half of the product is used as a feed source for Unit 600 and the other half is sold on the market. Ethylene purity must reach at least 99.5% to be sold as reagent grade. The second desired product, acetic acid, is also sold on the market, at 99% purity. Unit 800 consists of a fired heater to preheat the reactants, an…

Role of Ethylene in Plants The development of the plants involves the progressive and recessive birth and death of their parts such as shoots, roots, leaves, flowers and buds. The tree shape could be examined by taking into account the numbers of parts that determine the longevity and final outcomes. The outcomes of buds are determined by their location on the tree. While many factors are involve in the regulation of this developmental pattern. Ethylene plays an important role in the…

Literature published in the 1970’s document dioecious female Cannabis plants producing male flowers after treatment with colloidal silver (CS) during the flowering period (Sarath, 1979). While Van Der Straeten describes CS counteracting ethylene, a biosynthetic chemical expressed in female flowers, the gene expression changes from this treatment were not discussed (1991). What differential RNA expression occurs when transitioning female flowers to male flowers through CS treatment on Cannabis?…

Efficacy of active coated papers incorporating different adsorbents of either activated carbon or zeolite on ethylene adsorptions The suitable formula of active coating solution in the section 4.2 was selected from which provided the highest PIRG and spore germinations of mango anthracnose fungi. From the section 4.2, experimental results indicated that VCC 1.0 was the suitable active coating solution, due to its inhibitory effect and solubility. In this study, VCC 1.0 was used for preparing…

The gaseous hormone ethylene is perceived by the ethylene receptors which reside at the endoplasmic reticulum membranes4. In the genetic model plant Arabidopsis, there are five ethylene receptors (ETR1, ERS1, ETR2, ERS2, and EIN4), that fall into two subfamilies depending on functional kinase activity, and a subset of the receptors contains a receiver domain which promotes interaction with CTR15, 6. Interestingly, the receiver domain of ethylene receptors has a remarkable structural similarity…

functions within cells (the general units of life). Erica J. Washington and her team used methods such as the use of microscopes, separation of proteins based on size, and production of the 3D experimental protein by utilizing closely related proteins as models. Using these techniques, they could determine where the protein in question performed its function, determine amount of ethylene production as well as the impact of the protein on other factors, and define…
