AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
INTRODUCTION: Metabolomics is an important tool to support postharvest fruit development and ripening studies. Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is a tropical fruit with high market value but has short shelf-life during postharvest handling. Several postharvest technol...
Metabolite adducts are increasingly being recognized as important intermediates in cellular metabolism and as circulating messengers. Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive metabolite involved in diabetes and aging, via formation of a wide variety of protein adducts. Though new types of protein ...
