phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pepck) has been shown to be present in plants and animals, playing different metabolic roles in different tissues. the basic role of this enzyme is its contribution in the gluconeogenesis pathway. evidences have shown that pepck may play a role in metabolism of nitrogenous compounds in developing seeds of legumes. in this research, pepck gene expression and th...

Background: Chickpea is a cool season legume crop and grown in several countries worldwide as food source. Seed the main edible part of plant rich source protein, carbohydrates minerals especially for vegetarian population. The current study aimed to effect seed rate spacing on yield attributes chickpea. Methods: research was carried out at Research Farm, Department Agriculture, Maharishi Marka...

chickpea blight caused by didymella rabiei is considered as the most important disease of chickpea in kermanshah province. the disease is seed borne in addition to being persistent on infected residues, secondary infection taking place through pycnidiospores. in laboratory tests, the effects of six fungicides were tested at : 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 and 100.0 ?g.a.i.ml-1 csma(chickpea seed meal ag...

plant population density (ppd) and nitrogen (n) have large effects on chickpea growth and yield. to study these effects on chickpea (var. kourosh) a factorial experiment (4×3) in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research farm of college of agriculture & natural science, karaj (iran) in 2006. four ppd treatments were 16, 32, 48 and 64 plant m-2 and n amo...

Background: Water stress may alter the seed chemical composition and cause changes in concentrations of non reducing soluble sugars seeds germination performance chickpea. We evaluated effect water during chickpea development on (i) accumulation non-reducing sugars, (ii) vigour germination. Methods: Three cultivars (Desi-K, Saina-K ICCV-K) were subjected to two regimes (water stress- withholdin...

Kefir whey is a semi-transparent liquid product that produced during the fermentation process in making kefir. has yellow-green color, slightly sour taste, with fragrant aroma. called gold kefir because of many benefits can be taken from whey, especially for health. A mixture apple and chickpea extracts potential to produce new beverages seeds. The purpose this study was determine antioxidant a...

Stachyose is among the raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) one of the major water-soluble carbohydrates next to sucrose in seeds of a number of plant species. Especially in leguminous seeds, e.g. chickpea, stachyose is reported as the major component. In contrast to their ambiguous potential as essential source of carbon for germination, RFOs are indigestible for humans and can contribute ...

Biostimulants are studied as a possible agricultural practice that anticipates the reproductive stages of chickpeas to avoid their coincidence with high temperatures and hydric stress periods. The effect several types biostimulants on different chickpea varieties was analyzed. Blanco Sinaloa variety showed opposite patterns respect biostimulant germination success vegetative radicular developme...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most grown and consumed pulses it traditionally commercialised as seeds, flour or canned foods. In frame alternative protein sources, chickpea emerged a rich source dietary proteins (17–22%) that can be dry- wet-extracted. The application food ingredients still in early stages, where their properties how they interact within matrices are scarcely stud...
