breeders will probably concentrate more effort on other agronomic and chemical characteristics of this plant. A knowledge of the genetic behavior of oil content, protein content and seed coat type should be helpful in the selection of high oil and protein lines. The purpose of this paper is to report inheritance studies of oil content, protein content and rough and smooth seed coat type along w...

Introduction Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an important conditionally essential fatty acid (EFA). GLA is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). The fatty acid molecule is comprised of 18 carbon atoms with three double bonds. It is also known as 18:3n-6; 6,9,12-octadecatrienoic acid; cis-6, cis-9, cis-12octadecatrienoic acid; and gamolenic acid. GLA is found naturally in the fatty acid fr...

The present study investigated the physicochemical properties and phytochemical constituents of seed oil of Semecarpus anacardium L. to understand its biopesticidal and therapeutic potential. Preliminary phytochemical studies showed the presence of polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids in seed oil which is extracted using various organic solvents such as n-hexane, petr...

this study was performed for evaluation of the qualitative traits of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) as affected by azotobacter and mycorrhizal symbiosis (host plant root symbiosis with the glomus fungi) as factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of college of arak islamic azad university during growing season of 2011-2012. tre...

in order to study the effect of irrigation on fatty acid composition, oil and protein content of sunflower cultivars included azargol, allstar, alison and euroflor, an experiment was conducted at experimental field of the agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university in 2007. treatments were arranged on split plot based on randomized complete block with three replications. the irrigation treat...

in order to assess the performance of two soybean cultivars produced in two regions including karaj and moghan to drought stress at reproductive stages and also the impact of drought stress on yield and its components, oil and protein percent, an experiment was conducted as a split factorial based on complete randomized block design in three replications in agriculture faculty of tarbiat modare...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and methanol foliar application on some quantitative and qualitative traits of soybean (cv. viliamz), a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design at the faculty of moghan research farm in 2011. treatments were three levels of drought stress based on irrigation at depletion of 40, 55 and 70 percent of availabl...

in order to study the effects of intra and inter-row spaces and planting pattern on the yield components, seed and oil yield of pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.), a field experiment was conducted as split-split plot based on randomized block design with three replications during 2009-2010 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. two levels of inter-row space (1 an...

abstractbackground and objectives the oilseeds after cereal, the world's second largest food supply make up. environmental stress has always been one of the most important factors reducing crop yield and production are gone and counter or reduce the effects of stress as a useful strategy to increase the quality and quantity of the products has been considered. flooding conditions are said ...

Canola is a specific edible type of rapeseed, developed in the 1970s, which contains about 40 percent oil. This research was carried out to determine the yield and some quality characteristics of some winter canola cultivars during the 2010-2011 vegetation period in Central Anatolia of Turkey. In this research; Oase, Dante, Californium, Excalibur, Elvis, ES Hydromel, Licord, Orkan, Vectra, Nels...
