All organisms in nature interact and compete with each other. Various groups of such as algae, lichens, crops weeds have been found allelopathic interaction it is known that lichens many potent secondary metabolites. The aim this study was to determine the effects lyophilized ethanolic extract Xanthoparmelia somloensis (Gyelnik) Hale lichen (XS) on tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) germinatio...

Abstract Background Photosynthetic pigments participating in the absorption, transformation and transfer of light energy play a very important role plant growth. While, spatial distribution foliar is an indicator environmental stress, such as pests, diseases heavy metal stress. Results In this paper, situ quantitative visualization chlorophyll carotenoid was realized by combining Raman spectros...

Commercial high-yielding corn hybrids have not been evaluated for their ability to pigment egg yolk. Therefore, the objective of this research was investigate effects commercial with different carotenoid profiles as only source pigments in diets hens on yolk color and content, well deposition efficiency into Treatment diets, differing one five hybrids, were offered a completely randomized desig...

Microgreens are receiving increasing popularity as functional and healthy foods due to their nutritional value high content of bioactive compounds. The aim the present study was evaluate effects nutrient deprivation through regulation solution (NS) feeding days on plant growth chemical composition spinach microgreens. For this purpose, microgreens were subjected four different fertigation treat...

The golden tide, a large biomass bloom of the brown macroalgae Sargassum horneri, occurs yearly in Yellow Sea, where it causes enormous economic and ecologic losses. To investigate response S. horneri to global warming eutrophication, was cultured under six conditions varying temperature combinations (20 24 °C) nitrogen levels (5, 30, 300 μM). growth, photosynthetic performance, pigment content...

1. Fruits are among the most antioxidant-rich foods in nature and thus can be important dietary sources for combating oxidative stress in animals and humans. 2. Because fruits are pigmented by important plant antioxidants such as anthocyanins and carotenoids, frugivores may be able to gauge the antioxidant value of a fruit by its colour. However, although the importance of dietary antioxidants ...
