Brian Friel's Molly Sweeney and its Sources : a Postmodern Case History
No full textBrian Friel's Molly Sweeney (1994) has a theme similar to Synge's The Well of the Saints (1905), a modernist text, but it has a plot based on a case study by anthropologist Oliver Sacks, « To See and Not See ». While exploring the ethics of appropriation in the light of Foucault's « What is an Author ? », this paper establishes Friel's fascination with questions of freedom, perception and irony and defines the form of Molly Sxueeney as postmodernist rather than modernist.On peut comparer Molly Sweeney (1994) de Brian Friel à The Well of the Saints (1905) de J.M. Synge, un texte moderniste, mais il a pour source première une étude de cas contemporaine de l'anthropologue Oliver Sacks « To See and Not See ». Tout en étudiant l'éthique d'appropriation à la lumière de Foucault, cet article analyse la fascination qu'exercent sur Friel les questions de liberté, de perception et d'ironie, et il montre que la forme est postmoderniste plutôt que moderniste.Murray Christopher.

γ-Aminobutyric Acid (Gaba) In Fresh-Cut Fruits And Vegetables
No full text[gamma]-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an ubiquitous four carbon non-protein amino acid, that was first identified in potato tuber tissue in 1949. Subsequently, it has received further attention in microorganism, plant and animal systems. GABA plays significant roles in physiological responses of plants to environmental stresses, and also is recognized as a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and may contribute to human health. GABA metabolism occurs via the GABA shunt which involves in plant stress responses and postharvest systems. However, there is an absence of research on GABA concentrations in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. In this study, the GABA concentrations, the relationship between GABA concentrations, antioxidants and the total antioxidant activity, and the effects of postharvest treatment on GABA in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables during 9 days at 5 [MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR]C have been investigated. The results indicated that GABA concentrations vary widely among different types of fresh-cut products. Total phenolics, flavonoids and ascorbic acid concentrations were associated with total antioxidant activity in phytochemical extract of different fresh-cut products, but no relationships with antioxidant activity were detected. GABA concentrations accumulated in fresh-cut cauliflower and pineapple during storage and the accumulations showed not related and negatively related, respectively, to antioxidants including vitamin C, total phenolics and flavonoids

THE EFFECTS OF LOW OXYGEN STORAGE ON ASCORBIC ACID CONTENTS AND PREHARVEST AMINOETHOXYVINYLGLYCINE AND POSTHARVEST 1-METHYLCYCLOPROPENE ON FRUIT QUALITY FACTORS
No full text112 pagesThe ‘Gala’ apple is susceptible to development of a physiological storage disorder, stem end flesh browning (SEFB). A non-destructive meter that assesses chlorophyll content as an IAD value has been used as a way of better defining fruit maturity within a population of fruit to investigate: 1. the effects of low oxygen storage on ascorbic acid (AsA) contents and fruit quality factors, and 2. the effects of preharvest aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and postharvest 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on fruit quality. 0.5% oxygen maintained fruit quality better than 2%. Peel tissues had the highest AsA both at harvest and during storage, while calyx tissues were highest among flesh tissues. AVG delayed fruit maturation, increased storage quality, and decreased SEFB incidence but not consistently reduced fruit to fruit variation. 1-MCP increased SEFB incidence. IAD value may be a useful indicator for determining risk of the incidence of SEFB but not as a consistent quality index after storage

Molecular Basis Of The Tomato Green Shoulder Phenotype, Its Role In Fruit Nutritional Quality And Characterization Of Molecular Gradients In Fruit Development
No full textThe tomato uniform ripening (u) mutation confers a light green fruit phenotype absent the wild-type dark green top or "green shoulder" and is widely used in breeding for tomatoes producing evenly ripened fruit, facilitating selection of harvest time and sale of visually appealing fresh fruit. Positional cloning of u revealed that U encodes a Golden 2-like (GLK) transcription factor, SlGLK2, influencing chloroplast and chlorophyll accumulation and distribution in developing fruit. Transgene-mediated ectopic expression of two GLK genes, SlGLK1 and SlGLK2, affects chlorophyll content, chloroplast number and thylakoid grana stacks. Ectopic GLK expression also elevated levels of starch in green fruit and sugars, carotenoids and ascorbic acid in ripe fruit indicating that manipulating GLK expression is a means to enhance fruit nutritional quality. Use of the u allele thus likely confers an unintended consequence of reduced fruit nutritional value. To test this hypothesis, nearly isogenic lines for the U locus in an elite background (cv. M82) were developed to assess the effects of the green shoulder phenotype on fruit quality. Although plants with green shoulder fruit have 5-10% more fruit with a yellow shoulder phenotype than u plants, U fruit displayed 10-20% increases in soluble solids and carotenoids compared to u fruit. The isogenic lines also present tightly linked and novel genetic polymorphisms with potential as markers for molecular assisted selection. A latitudinal gradient of GLK2 expression influences the typical uneven coloration of green and ripe wild-type fruit. Transcriptome profiling highlighted a broader gene expression gradient through fruit development revealing additional molecular complexity during ripening. As with the latitudinal gradient, spatial and temporal gene expression differences in different fruit tissues are still poorly understood. Comparing transcriptomes from locular and pericarp tissues during fruit development suggests that climacteric ethylene and overall ripening may initiate in the locules
