Introduction The circumlineatus gene (C/) was discovered by R. Prakken (1972). Circumlineatus is recessive and is expressed in partly colored seed coats (0 with restricted patterns, such as virgarcus. Cl was discovered in a cross between 'White J' {Tz cl Rk) x 'Soldaat K' (/ z Cl rlâ) and is denoted by a ''precipitation line" (Prakken, 1972) demarcating the boundaiy between the white and colore...

Black Seed The date and location of domestication of Nigella sativa is not clearly established, but the plant was certainly under wide cultivation more than 3000 years ago, when it was placed in the tomb of Egyptian King Tutankhamun. Historical evidence also shows contemporaneous, or earlier, black seed cultivation in Jordan and Iraq. In addition, wild types of Nigella sativa grow in Turkey, Sy...

research on crop response to deficit irrigation is important to reduce agriculture water use in areas where water is limited resource. using drought resistant landraces with irrigation scheduling based on phenological stages in semi-arid and arid regions may provide an opportunity to optimize irrigation efficiency and water savings in these regions. in order to evaluate of yield and yield compo...

abstractbackground and objectives: black mustard (brassica nigra (l.) koch) is an annual plant belongs brassicaceae. it has a variety of uses in traditional medicine for rheumatic and neurological pain. growth and development and production of medicinal plants, like other plants is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. select the most appropriate planting date and the most favorable ...

Seed flours from black raspberry, red raspberry, blueberry, cranberry, pinot noir grape, and chardonnay grape were examined for their total fat content, fatty acid composition, total phenolic content (TPC), total anthocyanin content (TAC), radical scavenging capacities against the peroxyl (ORAC) and stable DPPH radicals, chelating capacity against Fe(2+), and antiproliferative activities using ...

All howler monkey species (Alouatta spp.) have a folivorous–frugivorous diet. Howler monkeys are reported to be seed dispersers in several areas, including black howlers (Alouatta caraya), which are important seed dispersers in northern Argentinean forests. The goal of this work was to study the three-way interaction between insects, seeds, and black howlers, and assess the functional significa...

Significant antiviral activity against respiratory illness viruses has been found in a hot-water extract of black soybean. This black soybean extract showed significant antiviral activity against human adenovirus type 1 and coxsackievirus B1 in a dose-dependent manner, while the hot-water extract from common yellowish soybean showed only weak activity. The antiviral activity could not be extrac...

The mature fruit of lettuce is an achene or naked seed, the color of which is determined by the color of its pericarp. The pigments that give the seed its particular color seem to be localized in the pericarp tissues.^ The mode of inheritance of seed color is of immediate practical importance to those breeding lettuce for disease resistance, climatic adaptation, and desirable commercial charact...

The seeds of Nigella sativa (often referred to as black seed) have long been utilized as a medicinal herb in Middle Eastern, Northern African, and Indian cultures. Historically, black seed has been used to treat a variety of illnesses associated with inflammation. More recent studies have found that it induces apoptosis and displays anticancer activity in animal and cellular models. The major b...
