ABSTRACT Vriesea reitzii is an endemic bromeliad from the Atlantic Rainforest. The objective of this research was to evaluate cryopreservation using method direct immersion its seeds, collected capsules at 120, 135, and 150 days after anthesis (DAA). water content determined before cryopreservation, while germination percentage, speed index (GSI), total soluble carbohydrates were quantified cry...

several plant growth regulators are used to improve the quality of cut flower in bulb plants, but their effectiveness depends on genotype and plant growth conditions such as nutrition status. a pot experiment was conducted under farm condition to study benzyl adenine (ba) and potassium nitrate interaction on floret diameter, stem diameter, flower height, flower number per bulb, fresh and dry we...

In this study, the effect of feeding different types and amounts of dietary fiber (DF) on luminal environment and morphology in the small and large intestine of sows was studied. Three diets, a low-fiber diet (LF) and 2 high-fiber diets (high fiber 1, HF1, and high fiber 2, HF2) were used. Diet LF (DF, 17%; soluble DF 4.6%) was based on wheat and barley, whereas the 2 high-fiber diets (HF1: DF,...

1. Experiments are presented demonstrating specific inhibition of phage by soluble products of bacteria. 2. The inhibition proceeds more rapidly when the phage and bacterial extracts are incubated at 37 degrees than at ice box temperature. 3. The specificity of the reaction in the instances studied is probably connected with the presence of specific soluble carbohydrates. 4. A reaction is avail...

The relationships between the readiness of fourth instar Aedes aegypti to metamorphose and their weight, nutritional reserves and sex were examined. Both the critical larval weight required for metamorphosis and the potential weight were influenced by the temperature at which the larvae were reared, and were greater for females than for males. Caloric levels of soluble carbohydrates and soluble...

soy protein concentrate (spc) is a functional and nutritional product which is produced under conditions where soy proteins are immobilized in soy flour and soluble carbohydrates are removed. in this study, four different soy flours including defatted soy flour (fat content 3.67, pdi 55.10), defatted and toasted soy flour (fat content 3.78, pdi 10.72), low fat soy flour (fat content 14.34, pdi ...

Following fertilization of forest plantations, high accumulations of nutrients in the forest floor creates the need to assess rates of forest floor decomposition and nutrient release. The study site was a 25-year old experimental loblolly pine plantation in the North Carolina Sandhills Region. Soluble and insoluble N, P, carbohydrate and phenol-tannin fractions were determined in foliage and li...
