Article Abstract
We found great variability in chilling tolerance among 84 pomegranate varieties from the Newe Ya'ar collection; among them, 'Ganesh' was chilling-sensitive, whereas 'Wonderful' was relatively chilling-tolerant. To evaluate the different molecular responses of these varieties to cold storage, we analyzed the transcriptomic changes in the inner membrane tissues of 'Ganesh' and 'Wonderful' fruit after 2 weeks of cold storage at 1 °C. By functional categorization of the differentially expressed transcripts using MapMan, we found that many transcripts related to various pathways, such as jasmonic acid biosynthesis and signaling, galactinol, raffinose, phenol, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, calcium and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, lipid metabolism, and various transcription factors and heat-shock proteins, have been massively upregulated in 'Wonderful' but not in 'Ganesh' fruit. Thus, it is suggested that these pathways most likely participate in imparting chilling tolerance in pomegranate fruit.

Peaches are highly susceptible to chilling injury (CI) during cold storage, which significantly compromises their postharvest quality. While α-lipoic acid (α-LA) shows promise in extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, its role in mitigating CI in peaches remains unexplored. In this study, postharvest peaches were treated with 0.

Zoledronic acid is commonly used to treat osteoporosis and it is generally well tolerated. We describe the case of a woman with osteoporosis, who developed a flare-up of osteoarthritis hours after receiving a single dose of zoledronic acid. She developed fever with chills, generalized body aches, and severe low back pain.

Salmonella, mainly associated with raw poultry, remains a major food safety concern as the number of illnesses have not reduced over the past decade warranting a need for convergent, disruptive approaches. In poultry processing plants, the USDA-FSIS implements a "zero visible fecal tolerance" policy on eviscerated broiler carcasses entering the chiller as a step to reduce the pathogen from cross contamination. The efficacy of multispectral fluorescence imaging technology to detect visible and invisible fecal matter from different sections of the gastrointestinal tract was assessed on 404 carcasses to enhance automation in processing plants.

Temperature is a key environmental factor influencing the establishment and spread of insect species. Differences in thermal tolerance may thus explain patterns of geographical distribution and dominance during biological invasions. The native Patagonian bumblebee, Bombus dahlbomii, is being displaced by the exotic Bombus terrestris, which has expanded throughout its range.
