Nano particles may be more useful in comparison to bulk materials because they can pass the cell membrane of crops because of their general size. Nano-silicon or SiO2 is one of the major and frequently used engineered oxide nano particles in deferent fields. Quick germination of cultivated seeds and good seedling establishment are key factors to lentil production under salinity stress soil acro...

In the present study, the energetic and economic modeling of lentil and chickpea production in Esfahan province of Iran was conducted using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and linear regression. Data were taken by interviewing and visiting of 140 lentil farms and 110 chickpea farms during 2014-2015 production period. The results showed that the yield and total energy consumpti...

Titration calorimetry measurements of the binding of methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside (Me alpha Man), D-mannopyranoside (Man), methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside (Me alpha Glu), and D-glucopyranoside (Glu) to concanavalin A (Con A), pea lectin, and lentil lectin were performed at 281 and 292 K in 0.01 M dimethylglutaric acid-NaOH buffer (pH 6.9) containing 0.15 M NaCl and Mn+2 and Ca+2 ions. The site...

Almost all properties of grains and seeds depend on moisture content. One of these properties is dielectric constant. Therefore capacitive sensor is used in precision agriculture widely. In this paper, a cylindrical capacitor was used to measure dielectric constant of seed. By measuring the dielectric constant, the moisture content of grains may be predicted. Change in dielectric constant of co...

A field experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during rabi (winter) season of 2008-09 to observe the efficacy of two herbicides on the yield of lentil (BARI masur-5). Paraxon, Whipsuper, Ronstar and Topstar were the herbicidal treatments applied after sowing of seeds and two leaf stage of weeds according to their mode of action. Dry weight of weed sample...

INTRODUCTION Lupin allergy remains a significant cause of food-induced allergic reactivity and anaphylaxis. Previous work suggests a strong association with legume allergy and peanut allergy in particular. Both doctors and the public have little awareness of lupin as an allergen. CASE PRESENTATION Case 1 was a 41-year-old Caucasian woman without previous atopy who developed facial swelling, w...

Here, we grow two different varieties of lentil (lentil-2009 and lentil-93) under drought levels with applications melatonin. Increasing the soil water deficit significantly decreased numerous morphological biochemical characteristics, including shoot length, total chlorophyll content, transpiration rate, in both lentil. Contrastingly, stress increased concentrations malondialdehyde (MDA) hydro...

This study is the first attempt to establish an SNP database for the purpose of estimating the genetic diversity and relatedness of Palestinian lentil genotypes. A total of 14 lentil accessions (11 local, two supplied by ICARDA, and one introduced from Italy) were investigated. By sequencing two genes, lectin and lipid transfer protein 5 (LTP5), four SNPs were detected (three in the first and o...

*Manuscript Click here to view linked References 2 ABSTRACT 1 Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant peptides are receiving attention 2 due to their beneficial effects in the prevention/treatment of hypertension. The objective was to 3 explore the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HP) on proteolysis by different proteases and the 4 release of bioactive peptides from...

The aim of this study was to investigate the application of elicitors (500 μM ascorbic acid, 50 μM folic acid, 5 mM glutamic acid and 50 ppm chitosan in 5 mM glutamic acid) during lentil germination up to 8 days as a strategy to increase germination rate and to enhance the accumulation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and phenolic compounds. The effect of elicitation on the protein profile and ant...
