The distribution of primary and secondary metabolites within the fruit can affect the nutritional and organoleptic quality as the fruit can vary in size and shape. This study investigates the differences in the distribution of the primary and secondary metabolites in the fruit of four strawberry cultivars (ˈAsiaˈ, ˈCleryˈ, ˈFredericaˈ and ˈSandraˈ)...
The aim of this research was to compare the effect of chemical fertilization (CF) and its combination with biofertilization-liquid fertilizer based on vermicompost enriched with selected strains of beneficial microorganisms (CF+VP) on the phytochemical profile of three berry species: strawberry (‘Senga Sengana’), blackberry (‘Čačanska Bestrna’) and...
Size and weight are one of the most important quality factors of strawberries along with color and taste. Based on these factors, the fruit can be marked as non-marketable as fresh fruit and culled or used for further processing, even though it provides a desirable taste and colour. In this study, differences in composition among fruit of different...

Introduction Pigs are often used to study the intestinal development of newborns, particularly as preterm pig models that mimic the intestinal growth of human preterm infants. Neonatology’s study of delivery mode’s impact on neonatal development is crucial. Methods We established 14 newborn pigs delivered via cesarean sections (C-section, at 113 da...

Introduction The ancient ivories unearthed from the Sanxingdui Ruins site are valuable cultural relics, however, the microbial biodeterioration on ivories during temporary cold storage poses a great threat to their later long-term preservation. Methods Here, the combination of high-throughput sequencing and biochemical assays was applied for the in...

Three hundred and sixty, 42-day-old Japanese quail (JQ) hens were randomly divided into six experimental groups with 5 replicates/group. Each replicate consisted of 12 birds (8 females and 4 males). During the growing period, chickens were fed restricted (FR) during only the second week of age at days 7, 9, 11, and 13. Three levels of FR were appli...

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient for plants, and a lack of available P greatly limits plant growth and development. Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) significantly enhance the ability of plants to absorb and utilize P, which is important for improving plant nutrient turnover and yield. This article summarizes and analyzes how PSMs...
Raznolikost sort jabolk na trgu omogoča potrošnikom izbiro, ki je pogosto odvisna od videza sadja. Za sorto 'Pinova' je potrebno, da je vsaj 1/3 površja plodov rdeče barve. Nezadostna obarvanost je lahko težava, saj zmanjšuje tržno vrednost sadja. Kmetijska praksa, kot je foliarno gnojenje s fosforjevimi gnojili, lahko izboljša barvo, vendar takšni...

Alternaria alternata, a notorious phytopathogenic fungus, has been documented to infect several plant species, leading to the loss of agricultural commodities and resulting in significant economic losses. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) hold immense promise as biocontrol candidates. However, the potential of LABs derived from fruits remains largely unex...
