in order to determine the optimum sowing and harvesting dates of two autumn sugar beet cultivars (bete vulgaris l.) and develop the planting area of this crop, the present research was conducted in fasa, iran during 2005-2008. the experiment was carried out in split-split plots based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications. three sowing dates (september 27, october 17 ...

The author and Van Slyke (5) have recently published a method for sugar determination in which the time required to decolorize a standard ferricyanide solution was used as a measure of the sugar content. The convenience which this method demonstrated in clinical work stimulated attempts to widen its range of usefulness by developing a micro modification. By carrying out the reaction in small te...

Few studies have evaluated vegetable soybean for sugar content at the green pod stage. Information on combining ability and type of gene action that governs inheritance of seed traits can help breeders to select suitable parents and devise an appropriate breeding strategy. Ten vegetable soybean accessions were crossed in a complete diallel mating design. Parent lines and F2 and F3 progenies wer...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the composite photosynthetic bacterial inoculant PS21 alleviate the damage inflicted on wheat seedlings by tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). The biochemical characteristics of wheat seedlings were analysed through laboratory simulation after co-treating seedlings with PS21 and 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 100 mg kg-1 TBBPA, respectively. The results sho...

The relationships of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber membrane permeability and membrane lipid composition to sugar accumulation were examined. Tubers from four potato cultivars were stored for 40 weeks at 3 degrees C and 9 degrees C. Rates of tuber membrane electrolyte leakage, total fatty acid composition, free fatty acid composition, and sugar content were measured throughout the storage ...

The Vis-NIR spectroscopy technology was studied on nondestructive measurement of sugar content in navel orange. Three different spectral ranges of 450-1000nm,1000-1800nm and 450-1800nm were selected, respectively and five different spectral pre-processing methods of Standard Normal Variate (SNV), first derivative (FD), second derivative (SD), multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) and smoothin...
