Combined analysis of transcriptomics with metabolomics provides insights into the resistance mechanism in winter jujube using L-Methionine.

Black rots lead to great economic losses in winter jujube industry. The objective of this research was to delve into the underlying mechanisms of enhanced resistance of winter jujube fruit to black rot by L-Methionine (Met) treatment. The findings revealed that the application of Met significantly curtailed lesion diameter and decay incidence in winter jujube fruit.

Antifungal Activities of L-Methionine and L-Arginine Treatment In Vitro and In Vivo against .

Gray mold caused by is a common postharvest fungal disease in fruit and vegetables. The prevention and treatment of postharvest gray mold has been one of the hot research issues addressed by researchers. This study aimed to investigate the effect of L-methionine and L-arginine on in vitro and on cherry tomato fruit.

Inhibitory Effect of L-Methionine on Based on Metabolomics Analysis.

is the main pathogenic fungus of postharvest black spots in fruits and vegetables. This study aimed to explore the antifungal activity of methionine on in vitro and to reveal related antifungal mechanisms through a metabolomics analysis. The results showed that the inhibitory effects of L-methionine (Met) treatment on mycelium growth, spore germination, and the germ tube elongation of were enhanced with an increase in the Met concentration, but the inhibitory effects decreased when the Met concentration was higher than 50 mmolL.

An experimental study of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow dynamics in an axial blood pump model.

The head curves of a 1.5:1 new axial blood pump model were measured using five working fluids at five rotational speeds. The working fluids were water, a 39wt% aqueous glycerin solution (GS), and three aqueous xanthan gum solutions (XGSs) with different concentrations.

[Liquid flow field measurement in a tube with a combination of stenosis and bifurcation].

Two-D liquid velocity field in a tube with a combination of a stenosis and a bifurcation was measured with refractive index matching technique using Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV). The flow ratio of main tube to bypass was 1:4. It is found that the axial velocity profile has two peaks in the XOY plane which is skewed to the main tube wall facing the flow from the bypass, and it manifests itself in the form of "M" in the XOZ plane.

Numerical investigation on hydrodynamics and biocompatibility of a magnetically suspended axial blood pump.

A newly designed magnetically suspended axial blood pump is presented, in which a 5 degrees-of-freedom rotor is suspended by using two conical active magnetic bearings, each with a four-pole stator. The preferred configuration could provide a rather large moment of inertia to increase the rotating stability of the suspended rotor in the pump. The hydrodynamic performance and internal flow fields in the pump are investigated by computational fluid dynamics.
