"Cavitation fatigue" is the increased susceptibility of a xylem conduit to cavitation as a result of its prior cavitation. It was investigated whether cavitation fatigue induced in vivo could be repaired in intact plants. Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.) were subjected to soil drought in the greenhouse. Native embolism and vulnerability to cavitation was measured in well-watered controls and a...

Acrylamide is a carcinogenic and neurotoxic compound defined as heat treatment process contaminant. Due to its health concern, acrylamide formation needed be minimized. The objective of this study examine how much contained in dried almonds (Prunus dulcis), hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), pistachios (Pistacia vera), peanuts (Arachishypogaea), sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus) well pumpkin (Cucu...

The trihelix genes encode plant-specific transcription factors, which play a vital role in plant morphological and developmental processes. However, information about the presence of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is scarce. Sunflower belongs to composite family possesses strong drought salt-alkali tolerance. In this study based on H. genome data, we have identified analyzed with complete des...
