In this study, the effects of goat manure fertilization (2, 4, 8, and 12 Tn/ha) on grain yield, organic compounds, mineral composition two quinoa varieties (CICA-17 Regalona Baer) were evaluated under field conditions in Northwest Argentina. The results indicate that improved yield total protein content. Low doses positively affected fatty acid (FA) profile, significant changes determined for m...

Soluble sugars are a universal component of most living organisms and a fundamental building block in biosynthetic processes. It is no wonder that both qualitative and quantitative changes in carbohydrates often accompany plant's responses to stress. Depending on the speed of onset of stress, plant tissues can exhibit rapid and very site-specific shifts in their soluble carbohydrate pool - rapi...

We compared the metabolic responses of leaves and roots of two Eucalyptus globulus Labill. clones differing in drought sensitivity to a slowly imposed water deficit. Responses measured included changes in concentrations of soluble and insoluble sugars, proline, total protein and several antioxidant enzymes. In addition to the general decrease in growth caused by water deficit, we observed a dec...

Two portable infrared sensors were evaluated for the rapid determination of quality parameters in processing tomatoes. A total of 370 hot-break juices were prepared from ∼40 processing tomato varieties grown in 5 California counties. The levels of sugars, acids, soluble solids, titratable acidity, and pH in these juices were determined using standard reference methods. Juices were processed, fi...

cold stress is one of the important factors which will reduce crop yield and fruit production in world. Early spring cooling and freezing weather is mostly. Possible this may considerable damage pistachio productions and farmer will lose most of their profit. Therefore study which show how pistachio plant cope freezing weather is valuable and important. The special role of amino acid in plant r...

The occurrence of fringed wings insect, Pseudodendrothrips mori is a major pest of mulberry, which causes a considerable leaf yield loss and inturn damages its quality. Hence, an attempt was made to know the changes in biochemical constituents (Free amino acids, total soluble proteins, total reducing sugars, total soluble sugars, starch and total phenols) and photosynthetic pigments (total chlo...

Black currant berries contain many biochemical compounds with proven or potential human health benefits. We studied the content of total and single polyphenols, ascorbic acid, soluble sugars, and titratable acidity for two advanced selections and three cultivars of black currant at two distant locations in Sweden (south: 56°06'N; north: 65°21'N) over a 3 year period. Regression analyses reveale...

Decomposition of three leaf species (Alnus glutinosa, Eucalyptus globulus and Quercus robur) were examined in a headstream. During two months decomposing leaves were periodically analysed for nutrient content, soluble sugars, phenols, protein precipitation capacity, total fiber, weight loss, microbial and macroinvertebrate colonisation. The leaves of the three species showed similar patterns in...

Tomato plants were grown hydroponically under different deficient regimes of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the form of nitrate and phosphate. Results showed a severe reduction in growth, soluble protein and chlorophylls contents under N deficiency, which suggested accelerating of leaf senescence. Furthermore, it was accompanied by enhanced activity of peroxidase and sugars contents that we...
