Research ArticleOpen accessOligoglucans as Elicitors of an Enzymatic Antioxidant System in Zucchini Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) Seedlings at Low TemperatureAbel Ceron-Garcia, Gustavo Adolfo Gonzalez-Aguilar, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Non-controlled low temperatures affect physiological and biochemical processes leading to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accumulation in plants, which normally are stabilized by the antioxidant system. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) and Catalase (CAT) are the most important ROS-detoxification enzymes in stressed plants. Approach: The activity of these enzymes were examined in response to fungal Oligoglucans (OG) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,306 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffect of Maturity Stage of Papaya Maradol on Physiological and Biochemical ParametersLaura E. Gayosso-García Sancho, Elhadi M. Yahia, Miguel Angel Martínez-Téllez, Gustavo Adolfo González-AguilarProblem statement: Nowadays, the worldwide increase in diseases has motivated consumers to increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, in response to various research reports indicating that fruits and vegetables can help prevent certain types of illnesses, due to their potentially high antioxidant properties. We evaluated the effect of the stage of ripeness of papaya fruit (Carica papaya L.) on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,266 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessOrganic Alternative for Breaking Dormancy in Table Grapes Grown in Hot RegionsConsuelo Corrales-Maldonado, Miguel Angel Martinez-Tellez, Alfonso A. Gardea et al.Problem statement: In warm-winter regions, the need for intervention of chemical means to break bud rest becomes a dominant factor for maintaining economic production of table grapes. However, the problem is more acute when farmers want to grow organic table grapes in the absence of environmentally-friendly budbreak promoters. Approach: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a mix of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,753 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessConcentration and Physicochemical Properties of Chitosan Derivatives Determine the Induction of Defense Responses in Roots and Leaves of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) PlantsAlejandro B. Falcón-Rodríguez, Juan C. Cabrera, Eduardo Ortega, Miguel Ángel Martínez-TéllezProblem statement: The chitosan derivatives promote diverse defensive responses in plants, which are affected by chitosan chemical features and concentration. Glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6), Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) and peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.6) are key enzymes in tobacco defense responses. Thus, the aim of this study was to know the behavior of their enzymatic activity in leaves and roots of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,263 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessChilling Injury in Mamey Sapote Fruit (Pouteria sapota): Biochemical and Physiological ResponsesGuillermo O. Pérez-Tello, Miguel Ángel Martínez-Téllez, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro, Gustavo A. González-AguilarProblem statement: Cold storage is needed in order to delay senescence and achieve a longer commercial life of tropical fruits like mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota), therefore, the physiological and biochemical responses of this fruit to cold storage were evaluated. Approach: Samples from different storage temperature (20, 10 and 2°C) were taken at five-day intervals and Chilling Injury Index (CII), decay … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,162 accessesView PDF Cite
