The seed oil of Teucrium depressum Small yields two unusual trienoid compo n en t s, all-cis-5,9 ,12-octadecatrienoic acid (6.7%) and trans-5,cis-9,cis-12-octadecatrienoic acid (2.0%). A third unusual component, identified as cis-5.cis-9-octadecadienoic acid, also occurs U; this oil as a trace constituent.

While previous research has been contradictory, potential grain yield responses and seed protein increases have led to con­ tinuing interest in N fertilizer application to soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Field experiments were conducted at seven lo­ cations from 1990 to 1991 in Alabama to determine soybean response to N fertilization at various growth stages. Treatments included a factorial a...

abstract in recent decades the use of environmentally friendly biological and non-chemical materials for the control of plant pests has found good position. due to this reason the effect of some plant extracts (kernel extract of azadirachta indica with 1:12.5, fruit extract of chinaberry, fruit extract of iranian lilac and leaf extract of chinaberry with 1:3 with water), cotton seed oil and nee...

Agricultural Training Centres (ATCs) promote crop and livestock development by providing extension information to farmers and serving as models of improved crop and livestock husbandry practices. Although potato farmers in Nyandarua County were trained on potato production technologies, their average yield was ≤16 tonnes per hectare compared to the national potential of 30 tonnes. This study th...

Seed oil, one of the major seed storage compounds in plants, is of great economic importance for human consumption, as an industrial raw material and as a source of biofuels. Thus, improving the seed oil yield in crops is an important objective. The GLABRA2 (GL2) gene in Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a transcription factor that is required for the proper differentiation of several epidermal cell...

abstract: the commercial development of food products originated from the plants as sources of antioxidants to increase the health benefit and stabilize the food is of current interest. this study was aimed at obtaining dill extract using cold solvent method by three solvents, (methanol, acetone, and hexane) and examining the antioxidant potency and determining the oxidative stability of sunflo...

this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of spraying micronutrients iron, zinc, calcium on yield and yield components of seven sesame varieties on 2007 cropping season in research farm of shahed university. the experiment was performed as split-plot based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the main factor included feso4, znso4, cano3 and control (wate...
