Abstract: Germination of tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey.) seeds is slow and although the removal endocarp favors speed process, time still considered long. Thus, this study aimed to investigate effects different pretreatment stratification temperatures on germination seeds. Two experiments were set up. The first experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design in factorial sc...

The phenolic composition of the exocarp, hypanthium, and endocarp from three pear cultivars: Jingbai, Korla Crystal were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography method with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD), while antioxidant activities investigated using DPPH radical andABTS cation scavenging activity, FRAP. Ferulic acid, chlorogenic caffeic acid detected as major components. exocarp...

This study was carried out to evaluate the morphological and pomological diversity of 18 different jujube genotypes that are border trees or grown for hobby purposes in Dinar District Afyonkarahisar Province. For measurements, fruits were harvested when peel color less than 50% brown-red healthy leaf samples taken measurement same period. According results research, length, width, fruit weight,...

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) hydrophobic protein (HPS) is an abundant seed constituent and a potentially hazardous allergen that causes asthma in persons allergic to soybean dust. By analyzing surface extracts of soybean seeds with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and amino-terminal microsequencing, we determined that large amounts of HPS are deposited on the seed s...
