Dictionary » A » Acetylene AcetyleneAcetylene (Science: chemistry) a gaseous compound of carbon and hydrogen, in the proportion of two atoms of the former to two of the latter. It is a colourless gas, with a peculiar, unpleasant odour, and is produced for use as an illuminating gas in a number of ways, but chiefly by the action of water on calcium carbide. Its light is very brilliant. ![]()

Results from our forumRe: "H - C = C - H" doesn't make sense chemically why?... as drawn has the carbons sharing only three electrons (one for each bond) which means that each carbon has a non-bonded electron. That makes it an acetylene diradical. Such a molecule may exist along some photochemical reaction path, and you can, I’m sure, calculate its energy, which is undoubedly ...

cellulolytic nitrogen fixing bacteria... (or its equivalent). You could measure the rate of N2 consumtion manometrically, I suppose. A proxy for measuring nitrogenase activity is to use acetylene reduction, but you’ll have to look up a method. I don’t know the techniques well enough. I’m not sure what to suggest for trying to optimize ...

replyAcetylene antisence is a gene encode for RNA antisence to the gene which produce acetilene and inhibit this genes' expression. It make the fruit have storage time longer than usual 2-4 times. Now a lot of fruits are in transformation ...

Genetically engineered fruitsThanks everyone for the replies. Mothorc: What does the acetylene antisense do to the pineapple? Dr Stein: What melon genes did your friend alter for their PhD? :D

replypapaya , banana, pinapple (with acetylene antisence), mango. But usually trere are a ratio of trans or untrans mixed on the market. @ Dr.stein: they are transformation not mean they are selling at the market.
