Flavonoids play an important role in interactions of plants with the environment. Liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the flavonoid profiles (especially luteolin, tricin, and chrysoeriol glycosides), their total concentrations, and changes in the amounts of eight flavones found in the aerial parts of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) (Fabaceae) Radius cv., uninfested and infested by t...

Abstract In general, adaptation of cover cropping in crop rotation practices to organic tunnels by methods supporting soil health and quality has not yet been fully optimized. Effect field pea pea-oat crops physicochemical properties cash was assessed an high tunnel southern Poland 2016–2017, with the following planting sequence: spring crops/tomato/romaine lettuce/green bean/iceberg lettuce. T...

BACKGROUND For efficient and large scale production of recombinant proteins in plants transient expression by agroinfection has a number of advantages over stable transformation. Simple manipulation, rapid analysis and high expression efficiency are possible. In pea, Pisum sativum, a Virus Induced Gene Silencing System using the pea early browning virus has been converted into an efficient agro...

Compounds with planar triple ring systems such as acridine orange, 9-amino acridine, 9-amino-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydroacridine (tacrine), 6,9-diamino-2-ethoxyacridine lactate monohydrate (DE-acridine), 6-chloro-9-(3'-diethylamino-2'-hydroxypropylamino)-2-methoxyacridine 2 HCI (CDM-acridine), quinacrine, 6-chloro-9(4'diethylamino1'-methylbutylamino) .2-methoxy. 1, 10-diazaanthracene (CDM 1, 10-diazaan...

The drying behavior of green peas is investigated in a pilot scaled Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) with inert particles assisted by an Infra Red (IR) heat source. The variation of shrinkage and moisture diffusivity with temperature and moisture content were investigated. The experimental drying curves were adjusted to the diffusion model of Fick’s law for spherical particles. The result was that...

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) catalyzes the dephosphoric reaction of Fru-1,6-bis P to Fru-6-P and Pi. Two isozymes exist in higher plants, one in the cytosol and the other in the chloroplast. The latter is a pivotal enzyme for photosynthetic carbon dioxide assimilation. It is active in the light but almost inactive in darkness. The lightmediated activation of the enzyme is attribute...
