Blackspot bruise is a common defect caused by physical injury of potato tubers that triggers internal enzymatic browning, leading to significant postharvest losses. Reducing the development of internal discolouration has enormous benefits for the industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of nitric oxide (NO) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in controlling blackspot enzymatic browning in Clearwater Russ...
Pressure Flattening Simulation and Associated Response After Unloading Russet Burbank Potatoes From StorageNARA Subscribed
Cutting black is an internal dark gray/black discoloration associated with pressure bruise in potatoes stored in piles, where sustained compression causes flattened areas and enzymatic browning. This defect leads to significant post-harvest losses, particularly affecting the fresh market. This 2-year study evaluated the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene, nitric oxide, and diphenylamine on cutting black development during simulat...
A Hydrological–hydraulic Modeling Framework for 2D Simulations of Street-level Urban FloodingNARA Subscribed
The reduction of permeable areas due to from urban expansion, coupled with inadequate maintenance and the undersizing of drainage systems, has exacerbated urban flooding by increasing surface runoff. This study proposes an integrated framework that combines a VBA-based hydrological model with two-dimensional HEC-RAS simulations supported by a high-resolution digital terrain model explicitly representing curbs and gutters. Usin...
Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Muigaia, a new Paleotropical genus of ConvolvulaceaeNARA Subscribed
Summary A new genus of Convolvulaceae, Muigaia , is here proposed and fully revised, including molecular phylogenetic analyses, comprehensive morphological and palynological descriptions, identification keys, distribution maps and conservation assessments. It is a strictly paleotropical genus, occurring in Tropical Africa, Madagascar, India and Australia, and remarkably absent from the Malesian region. It is distinctive for th...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
The Relationship Between Respiration Rate and Quality Parameters of Russet Potatoes During Long-Term StorageNARA Subscribed
Understanding the storage requirements of emerging potato cultivars is paramount for effective storage management. Thus, the objective of this study was to quantify the respiration rates of the standard Russet Burbank, and the new cultivars Ivory Russet, Dakota Russet, and Rainier Russet potatoes to understand the relationship between respiration rate and quality parameters during storage. Tubers were cured at 12.8 °C and 95%...
