in order to study radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping of herb sweet basil and common bean, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran for the growing season of 2008. treatments were 1) sole crop of bean , 2) sole crop of sweet basil, 3) strip intercropping of bean and sweet basil (four rows bean and two...

in order to study yield and yield components in intercropping bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and evaluating effect of intercropping on weed control, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season of 2008. treatments: included 1- sole crop of bean 2- sole crop of sweet basil 3- strip ...

Legumes have previously been reported with hypolipidemic effect caused by the presence of flavonoid. This study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant and hypolipidemic effects of fermented mung bean on hypercholesterolemic mice. Blood from all mice was collected and subjected to serum lipid and liver profiles biochemical analysis and quantitative RT-PCR for atherosclerosis related gene ex...

THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ASSESS THE INSTRUMENTAL AND SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS OF GINSENG COFFEE WITH DIFFERENT RATIOS OF THE INGREDIENTS: type of coffee bean (Colombia, Brazil, and Indonesia), type of ginseng extract (white ginseng, red ginseng, and America ginseng) and concentration of ginseng extract (3, 6, and 9 w/v %). The sensory optimal condition of white ginseng coffee...

In four experimental groups, rabbits were fed on diets containing soy beans, soy beans plus cholesterol (1%, w/w), casein and modified casein for 8 weeks. Biliary lipid levels, lithogenic-index values and the rate of gallstone formation were determined. The highest mean relative concentrations (mol%) of cholesterol and phospholipid were found in the soy bean + cholesterol group, and the highest...

Root and soil populations of Meloidogyne incognita were significantly fewer from marigold, castor bean, and chrysanthemum than from tomato roots and soil, but not from fallow soil. Root populations of Pratvlenchus alleni were significantly fewer from marigold, castor bean, and chrysanthemum than from tomato: marigold had the fewest. Root populations of M. incognita and P. alleni from tomato sim...

Adzuki bean (Vigna angularis var. angularis) is a dietary legume crop in East Asia. The presumed progenitor (Vigna angularis var. nipponensis) is widely found in East Asia, suggesting speciation and domestication in these temperate climate regions. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of adzuki bean. The genome assembly covers 75% of the estimated genome and was mapped to 11 pseudo-chromosom...

Let M(n,A) denote the maximum possible cardinality of a family of binary strings of length n, such that for every four distinct members of the family there is a coordinate in which exactly two of them have a 1. We prove that M(n,A) ≤ 20.78n for all sufficiently large n. Let M(n,C) denote the maximum possible cardinality of a family of binary strings of length n, such that for every four distinc...

Fire is pervasive in forests used by California Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis occidentalis) and their prey species. We assessed the diets and sizes of the breeding-season home ranges of seven Spotted Owls occupying burned forests in the southern Sierra Nevada 4 years after a fire and compared the results with data from previous studies in unburned forests within the range of the subspecies. ...
