Proteins from underutilized defatted oilseed meals have been proposed as promising sources of bioactive peptides. This study was conducted to determine the anti-inflammatory activities five proteins (flaxseed, rapeseed, sunflower, sesame and soybean) hydrolysed via alcalase, pepsin (at pH 1.3 2.1), respectively, compare these against two dairy (whey, casein). The potential protein hydrolysates ...

Oilseed crops, particularly canola, Brassica napus L., and B. rapa L., are now a major part of the prairie landscape in Canada. A diverse assemblage of arthropods can be found in areas devoted to oilseed crop production, either feeding on a resource provided by the crop, or feeding on other insects that have been attracted to these areas. Some insects prefer to feed on other plants that are gro...

P(3)DB (http://www.p3db.org/) provides a resource of protein phosphorylation data from multiple plants. The database was initially constructed with a dataset from oilseed rape, including 14,670 nonredundant phosphorylation sites from 6382 substrate proteins, representing the largest collection of plant phosphorylation data to date. Additional protein phosphorylation data are being deposited int...

Groundnut is the major oilseed in India. Groundnut has a high amount of protein (26%), and it is a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and boron. After extracting oil, the cake was only used as cattle feed or livestock, hence in the present study protein was isolated by different fractions of defatted groundnut oil cake because of its higher protein content. Sodium dodecyl sulphate p...

*Corresponding author E-mail : [email protected] INTRODUCTION The genus Brassica comprises an important group of cultivated vegetable and oilseed crops and have great economic importance worldwide. The cultivated species of Brassica include cabbage, cauliflower, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, turnip, swede, oilseed rape, various mustards and other leafy vegetables (Hong et al. 2008). As oils...

Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA GMO Panel) evaluated the documentation provided by Austria to support the prolongation of the safeguard clause measure prohibiting the placing on the market of the genetically modified oilseed rape event GT73 for import, processing and feed uses in Austria. T...

Nitrogen is essential for plant growth, and N fertilization allows farmers to obtain high yields and produce sufficient agricultural commodities. On the other hand, nitrogen losses potentially cause adverse effects to ecosystems and to human health. Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is vital to solve the conflict between productivity, to secure the demand of a growing world population, a...

One of the main reasons for oilseed rape breeding is to improve quality and composition seeds by increasing fat protein content, reduce dietary fibre. We attempted obtain such varieties crossing two DH lines winter different origin, H2-26 Z-114, which have black yellow seeds, respectively. The cross was followed in vitro androgenesis, resulting a population 44 that were studied field experiment...

Increasing demand for vegetable oil and protein requires breeding efforts to enhance the yield of oilseed rape. This can be achieved by reducing seed cellulose, hemicellulose lignin content. The objective study was analyse important agronomic traits two distinct bulks genotypes from crosses, with low (6%) high content (10%). genotype were formed mixing seeds 12 doubled haploid lines either or s...
