for different agronomic traits in sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) inbred lines were estimated using “line × tester” analysis method. six new restorer lines were crossed with four cms lines as tester in 2006 growing season. the 24 f1 single cross combinations were planted in complete randomized block design with four replications in khoy field research station in 2007 growing season. there were...

Despite the importance of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in the world, this crop has received least research attention in Pakistan. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of tillage system under various irrigation intervals and phosphorus levels on oil contents, yield and yield attributes of Sesame. The experiment was conducted at New Developmental Farm of the Un...

gamma irradiation was used at different doses (80, 160 and 240 gy) on glycine max (l.) merrill cv. hill homogenous seeds. a single suitable m2 plant was selected and evaluated at m3 and m4 along with its parent and three other varieties as control in rcbd experiment in sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university’s experimental field. m-80-709 and m-160-3429 mutant lines were sig...

The seed of Cannabis sativa L. is an expanding source of proteins and oil for both humans and animals. In this study, the proximate composition of a collection of hemp cultivars and accessions of different geographical origins grown under the same conditions for 1 year was analyzed in order to identify potential accessions to improve hemp cultivars. Fatty acids, tocopherols, and antinutritional...

in order to study the effects of different levels of animal manure and bulb weights on growth criteria, yield components, seed yield and essential oil yield of caraway, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during two growing seasons of 2012-2013 and 2013-...

Useful medicinal and chemical properties of different parts of Eriobotrya Japonica seeds including flowers, fruits, and leaves have been investigated. In this study, fat content, moisture, unsaponifiable matter, saponification and iodine values, free fatty acid compound, individual sterols, antioxidant activity, total phenol, tannin, and flavonoids content, and detection and quantification of p...

Twelve pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita maxima D.), cultivated in Iowa, were studied for their seed oil content, fatty acid composition, and tocopherol content. Oil content ranged from 10.9 to 30.9%. Total unsaturated fatty acid content ranged from 73.1 to 80.5%. The predominant fatty acids present were linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic. Significant differences were observed among the cultivar...
