The disease is caused by mutations in the GBA gene. The GBA gene codes for production of beta-glucocerebrosidase, an enzyme stored in lysosomes that breaks down and glucocerebroside, a lipid that makes up part of cell membranes.
Hereâs the kicker: Researchers have found that whole watermelons stored outside the fridge in a cool, dark place (around 55 or 60 degrees) last much longer than watermelons stored in the fridge (around 41 degrees). So, if youâve already got a whole watermelon in the fridge, you should keep it there. But if youâre storing it outside the fridge, put it in the fridge about three hours before you plan to eat it in order to cool it down to just the right temperature.
Watermelon. Watermelon is a tender, warm-season vegetable. Watermelons can be grown in all parts of the country, but the warmer temperatures and longer growing season of southern areas especially favor this vegetable. Gardeners in northern areas should choose early varieties and use transplants.he flesh should be deep colored with mature seeds. Most watermelons have dark brown or black seeds. The seedless variety produces a few white seeds. Once picked, uncut watermelon can be stored for about 2 weeks at room temperature especially if the temperature is about 45 to 50Â°.
