Affinity Crystallography Reveals Binding of Pomegranate Juice Anthocyanins at the Inhibitor Site of Glycogen Phosphorylase: The Contribution of a Sugar Moiety to Potency and Its Implications to the Binding Mode
(2020)Anthocyanins (ACNs) are dietary phytochemicals with an acknowledged therapeutic significance. Pomegranate juice (PJ) is a rich source of ACNs with potential applications in nutraceutical development. Glycogen phosphorylase ... -
Analysis of microclimate and cucumber fruit yield in a screenhouse and an evaporatively cooled greenhouse in a semi-arid location
(2018)The microclimate and cucumber crop response in a screenhouse and in an evaporatively cooled greenhouse were studied in Oman during winter/spring and spring/summer cultivation periods. Measurements were carried out in two ... -
Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of various Greek garlic genotypes
(2018)Recent studies show a significant variation in antioxidant and antimicrobial properties between the various garlic genotypes mostly due to differences in chemical composition and bioactive compounds content. The aim of the ... -
The bioactive profile of lettuce produced in a closed soilless system as configured by combinatorial effects of genotype and macrocation supply composition
(2020)The effect of cultivar and nutrient solution macrocation proportions (SK, SCa, SMg) on the bioactive content of hydroponically cultivated lettuce was evaluated on two lettuce cultivars (red and green-pigmented Salanova®) ... -
Bioactivities, chemical composition and nutritional value of Cynara cardunculus L. seeds
(2019)In the present study, the nutritional value, bioactive properties, and chemical composition of various cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) genotypes cultivated in central Greece were investigated. The results demonstrated that ... -
Calibration of a growth model for tomato seedlings (TOMSEED) based on heuristic optimisation
(2015)A mechanistic growth model for tomato seedlings cultivated in unheated beds is developed, based on modifications of existing tomato growth models. Photosynthetically active radiation at crop level, air temperature and CO2 ... -
Chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Cichorium spinosum L. leaves in relation to developmental stage
(2018)In the present study, chemical composition and bioactivity of Cichorium spinosum leaves were examined at different growth stages for optimum harvest stage and end-use assessment. Total fresh weight and number of leaves ... -
Chemical composition and biological activity of cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis) seeds harvested at different maturity stages
(2022)Cardoon seeds collected in Greece at four different maturity stages (samples S1 to S4) were analysed in terms of chemical composition and in vitro bioactivities. The content of phenolic compounds (six compounds in total) ... -
Chemical composition, nutritional value and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes in relation to harvest stage
(2018)The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of fruit size on nutritional value, chemical composition and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes. For this purpose, pods from four okra cultivars ... -
The combined and single effect of salinity and copper stress on growth and quality of Mentha spicata plants
(2019)Copper is essential for plant growth, but in excess may cause adverse effects on plant physiology. Harmful effects are also caused by plant exposure to salinity (NaCl) due to the excessive use of fertilizers, soil degradation ... -
A Computational Strategy for the Design of Photochromic Derivatives Based on Diarylethene and Nickel Dithiolene with Large Contrast in Nonlinear Optical Properties
(2020)We designed a series of photochromic derivatives by employing density functional method (CAM-B3LYP/6-31G*). These compounds are based on DAE (diarylethenes), both sides of which are bonded with benzene and NiBDT ... -
Could bio-stimulators affect flower, essential oil yield, and its composition in organic lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) cultivation?
(2020)Soil-climatic conditions of Greece and Mediterranean basin in general are favor for the development of aromatic-medicinal plants. A great aromatic-medicinal plant that is cultivated on a large scale in Greece and in ... -
Crop reflectance monitoring as a tool for water stress detection in greenhouses: A review
(2016)Multisensory platforms for remote sensing measurements offer the possibility to monitor in real-time the crop health status without affecting the crop and environmental conditions. The concept of the speaking plant approach, ... -
Dimerization of the AtoC response regulator and modelling of its binding to DNA
(2010)Bacterial signal transduction systems can be viewed as an entity of multi-sensory and output domains, whereas the functions of response regulators play a pivotal role in the complex network interactions. One crucial property ... -
Diurnal variations in leaf – Air temperature and vapor pressure deficit of sunlit and shaded kenaf leaves
(2020)The microclimatic conditions within a crop canopy are differentiated from those outside resulting to the exposure of plant organs in different environmental conditions. In the present study, the diurnal variation of leaf ... -
Edible halophytes of the Mediterranean basin: Potential candidates for novel food products
(2018)Background: Recent trends in the food science industry and consumers’ preferences for diversified diets suggest the consumption of wild greens not only as diet complements but also as healthy and functional foods for ... -
