Prediction of protein structural classes by Chou's pseudo amino acid composition: approached using continuous wavelet transform and principal component analysis.

abstract：:How to enhance fruit tolerance to cold stress is an important biological interest. In this paper, we found that mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruit treated with 10 μM brassinolide (BL) showed a higher tolerance to cold temperature of 5 °C. Further, we compared the changes in expression profiles of plasma membrane (PM) p...
