Total content of anthocyanidin glucosides varies greatly among different black varieties (79.5–473.7 mg / 100 g) and red rice (7.9–34.4 g). Shown up to 20 times higher antioxidants in varieties, compared with white grain, as well their 45 antioxidant activity many other crop. In terms content, is not inferior even such well-known sources blueberries currants, but much cheaper. The role phenolic...

The volatile compounds released by orthodox (desiccation-tolerant) seeds during ageing can be analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Comparison of three legume species (Pisum sativum, Lathyrus pratensis, and Cytisus scoparius) during artificial ageing at 60% relative humidity and 50 °C revealed variation in the seed volatile fingerprint between species, although in all spe...

Frugivorous vertebrates play a critical role as seed dispersers of many tropical fruiting plants. In Madagascar, lemurs are the principal dispersers of fruit-bearing plants. This study aims to highlight the potential ecological role of the redruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) in the regeneration of a degraded forest, based on the quantity and size of passed seeds, their viability and germination, an...

aegilops triuncialis l. (2n=4x=28; ctctutut) is one of the tetraploid aegilops species harboring valuable genes for resistance to many biotic and abiotic stresses. in the present study the bread wheat cultivars mv17, navid, omid, pishgam, zarin were crossed with an accession of ae. triuncialis and the resulted f1 and f2 (obtained by the selfing of f1 plants) hybrids studied using the convention...
