The sweet-basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) fruit/pericarp produces mucilage that engulfs the fruit and seed within minutes of hydration. Seed is produced by plant species have adapted to arid, sandy soils. This study was conducted determine how basil-seed improves ecological fitness. A second objective find ways remove mucilage, which may interfere with commercial planting. Basil fruit/seeds were ex...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of D. mespiliformis; crude seed, mucilage and seed extracts on some surface water quality parameters total bacteria count. The experiment design as a factorial in Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Sample collected from Upper River Benue Jimeta Bridge. mespiliformis purchased at Market, Yola Adamawa State. sample Jerry cans (50 litters) transpo...

abstract in order to investigate the response of two species of p. ovata and p. psyllium to water deficit. the experiment was conducted during 2009 growing seasons in the agriculture research station ferdowsi of mashhad. for this purpose a split plot experiment based on complete randomized block design with three replications was used. four irrigation levels (4000, 3000, 2000, 1000 m3/ha) alloc...

The aim of the study was to optimize ethylic fermentation process mucilage juice cacao by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. effected inoculating S. on 0.2 g activated yeast/liter for essay E1, and 0.5 yeast/L E2. Results reveal that increasing pH value in acidic zone raised rate inoculated with than g/L juice. amounts soluble extract transformed yield were greater (90.60%) E1 compared those E2 (8...

Perfect timing of germination is required to encounter optimal conditions for plant survival and is the result of a complex interaction between molecular processes, seed characteristics, and environmental cues. To detangle these processes, we made use of natural genetic variation present in an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Bayreuth × Shahdara recombinant inbred line population. For a detai...
