The nutritional value of raw and autoclaved grain amaranth, its milling fractions (perisperm and bran), fat-free flour, and of popped amaranth was evaluated for growing chickens. The control diet, which was composed primarily of corn and soybean meal, contained 3.06 kcal apparent ME (AME)/g and 23.6% CP. Test diets contained about the same AME and CP levels, and the following levels of the test...

stem cell research has received considerable attention since the discovery that adult stem cells havethe capacity to form many different tissue types. stem cells are a booming field for the researchand have been extensively studied in the field of medicine, as well as dentistry. their applicationin oncology has been a boon to many of the patients. dental stem cells have been novel approachto tr...

This study reports the new functional property of amaranth grain against diet-induced endothelial dysfunction in rabbits. Twenty-seven New Zealand rabbits were fed either a standard diet (SD/G1) or a hypercholesterolemic diet (Hichol) for 28 days. On day 29, the Hichol group was subdivided into four groups and begun receiving the following diets for 21 days: G2: SD + amaranth, G3: Hichol + amar...

Amaranth ( sp.) is a C plant adapted to poor soils and regions with limited rainfall and high temperatures. The plant is characterized by a yield of up to 85 t/ha, CP concentration of up to 28.5% of DM, and DM digestibility of 59 to 79%, which may vary depending on the species and variety. The potential of this plant as a forage source for ruminants has not been completely considered. This stud...

Both spiny and edible amaranths (Amaranthus spinosus and A. tricolor) are exotic annuals in China that produce numerous small seeds every year. Spiny amaranth has become a successful invader and a troublesome weed in Xishuangbanna, but edible amaranth has not, although it is widely grown as a vegetable there. As seed germination is one of the most important life-stages contributing to the abili...

Amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor), an underutilized climate smart crop, is highly nutritious and possesses diverse drought tolerance traits, making it ideal crop to thrive in a rapidly changing climate. Despite considerable studies on the growth physiology of plants subjected stress, precise trait phenotyping strategy for vegetable amaranth still not well documented. In this study, two screening t...

Grain amaranth is a highly nutritious pseudo-cereal with good adaptability to range of environmental conditions and potential be further cultivated in many areas the world. Although crop has adaptability, soil type can influence establishment production; thus, objective this study was evaluate how cultivar, sowing depth, affect emergence early growth grain amaranth. A pot experiment carried out...
