Five different hays were used to determine the effect of 5 different soaking and steaming treatments on the water soluble carbohydrate and microbial (bacteria and mould) contents of UK hay. Hays were subjected to the following 5 treatments: 1. Dry; 2. Steamed for 50 minutes in the Haygain- 600 steamer; 3. Soaked in water at 16°C for 9 hours; 4. Steamed then soaked and 5. Soaked then steamed. Po...

freezing injury is an important limiting factor in the production of pomegranate in iran.the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol (pbz) on cold hardiness of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) cv. ‘malas saveh’. different concentrations of pbz including 0 (control), 31, 62, 125 or 250 mg l–1 were sprayed on one-year-old plants in august and the electrolyte leakage o...

this study was conducted to determine the combined effects of salicylic acid (sa) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) (glomus mosseae) symbiosis on the growth of pistachio seedlings (pistacia vera ‘abareqi’) grown in the greenhouse under different drought stress (ds) levels. the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) colonization or exogenous sa treatment could increase ‘abareqi’ pistachio seedl...

17-11 ABSTRACT The breeding program has been conducted to improve the production and quality of napiergrass by crossing with related species or intraspecies. CV. TLG2 with high yields and water soluble carbohydrates have been selected and released. It produced 20% more forage yields and water soluble carbohydrates than cultivar, CV. A146 and persisted well at least for five years. Good silage w...

Fructans, storage carbohydrates with beta-fructofuranosyl linkages, are found in approximately 15% of higher plants. The metabolic flexibility of those molecules allows them easily to polymerize and depolymerize to soluble carbohydrates according to plant development stage and environmental conditions. In this work, water-soluble carbohydrates, including fructan structure patterns, were compare...

Soybean contains a high concentration of carbohydrates that consist mainly of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and oligosaccharides. The NSP can be divided into insoluble NSP (mainly cellulose) and soluble NSP (composed mainly of pectic polymers, which are partially soluble in water). Monogastric animals do not have the enzymes to hydrolyze these carbohydrates, and thus their digestion occurs b...

Pharmacognostical and preliminary phytochemical studies of Triphala churnam were carried out. The churnam of triphala consists of equal quantities of deseeded fruits of Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellerica and Emblica officinalis. Triphala is exclusively used in more than 200 drug formulations in Indian system of Medicine. The present study involved the pharmacognostical evaluation of Triph...
