to achieve high seed yield of rapeseed varieties under semi cold rainfed conditions; twenty rapeseed varieties were compared in randomized complete block design with three replications in sararood agricultural research station for two years. combined analysis results indicated that there were significant differences at 5% probability level among years for number of days to start of flowering, n...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with raw or heat-treated sunflower oil seed with two levels of 7.5% or 15% on unsaturated fatty acids in milk fat and performances of high-yielding lactating cows. Twenty early lactating Holstein cows were used in a complete randomized design. Treatments included: 1) CON, control (without sunflower oil seed). ...

in order to determine the critical period of weed control (cpwc), yield and yield components of black seed (nigella sativa l.) affected by weed competition and control periods, a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran in 2012. two sets of weed-in...

Still there is no scientific report about the proximate analysis of seeds and characteristics of oil produced from brebra seed. Objective of this study was to determine proximate and antinutritional characteristics of seeds as well as the physicochemical characteristics of brebra seed oil. Crude oil, protein, fiber, ash, moisture and carbohydrate content of brebra were 48.5 ± 0.99%, 29.7 ± 0.23...

Low-molecular mass (10 kD) cytosolic acyl-coenzyme A-binding protein (ACBP) has a substantial influence over fatty acid (FA) composition in oilseeds, possibly via an effect on the partitioning of acyl groups between elongation and desaturation pathways. Previously, we demonstrated that the expression of a Brassica napus ACBP (BnACBP) complementary DNA in the developing seeds of Arabidopsis (Ara...

gundelia tournefortii l. is a well known plant in mountains of iran and is found all over the country. it traditionally has some medicinal applications. in this research, gundelia tournefortii l. seed was studied as a source of edible oil. oil was extracted with immersion method using diethyl ether as a solvent. acidity, saponification, ester, iodine, peroxide and refractive indices, average mo...

Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) has two major products: alkaloids in the capsules and the seeds.  The seed contains oil, protein, carbohydrate, moisture and mineral matters. The seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and oleic acid. Remaining meals after oil extraction are the important source for animal diets. The United Nations recognize Turkey and India as tra...

due to the need to find new protein sources with considering the fact that the bitter vetch seed has high levels of protein content, physicochemical and mechanical properties of bitter vetch seed and functional properties of its flour were evaluated in this study. the effects of altering the ph on protein solubility, foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity and emulsion stability ...
