Introduction. Monechma ciliatum L. seeds are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, oils and mineral contents. Researchers have focused on new production development but there is no available data the impact of processing techniques quality seeds. Our study aimed to investigate boiling, roasting, germination composition nutritional value (black mahlab) seeds.

Pyricularia oryzae (Tel. Magnaporthegrisea) is currently used as a fungal model for plantmicrobeinteraction studies as well as an indicative model for anticancer drug discovery. Thepresent study introduces the optimal condition in which P. oryzae grows and sporulates beston common culture media. We have considered three fungal culture media, i.e. PDA, PCA andWA, based on which P. oryzae sporula...

Developing soybean (Glycine max) seeds respond to a change in growth temperature by changing the level of stearoyl acyl carrier protein desaturase activity in the tissue. After 20 hours in liquid culture, seeds grown at 20 degrees C show an increase in activity while seeds grown at 35 degrees C show a decrease in activity, relative to their preculture levels. Analysis of the enzyme from both gr...

In order to determine the best developmental stage of soybean at which maximum seed quality is attained under different shadings (S1, S2, S3: 0, 35 and 75% shade, respectively) and irrigation treatments (I1, I2, I3, I4: irrigation after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm evaporation from class A pan, respectively), two split plot experiments using randomized complete block design with three replications we...

s: Background: Several studies have reported the hypoglycemic property of Fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum graecum), a commonly used condiment in Indian homes, due to its high dietary fiber content. Method: A total of 25 NIDDM patients were given control diets orally consisting of (i)milled rice(boiled rice),(ii) whole wheat (chapati) experimental diets consisting of (iii) boiled rice with fe...

Diabetes mellitus represents a major public health problem. Much of the increased mortality and morbidity seen in diabetic patients is the result of various complications. Free radicals play an important role in the cause of complications of diabetes mellitus such as retinopathy, nephropathy, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and ischemic heart diseases. Many secondary plant metabolites have been ...

22 The impact of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 sporulation temperature 23 history was assessed on spore heat resistance, germination and outgrowth capacity at a 24 temperature range from 7 to 30°C. Sporulation rate and efficiency decreased at low 25 temperature, as cells sporulated at 12, 20 and 30°C with approximately 99% 26 efficiency, whereas at 7°C and 10°C, a maximum 15% of sporulation...

Lasiodiplodia theobromae, a common tea (Camellia sinensis) pathogen, usually does not sporulate or sporulates poorly in common media, which makes spore production difficult. In this study the effects of culture media, carbon source, nitrogen source, temperature, pH and light on mycelial growth and sporulation were evaluated. Among several carbon sources tested, glucose and sucrose were found su...
