EFFECT OF DRYING METHODS ON CRAMBE (Crambe abyssinica HOCHST) SEED COAT PIGMENTATION AND ON OIL AND BIODIESEL QUALITY

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

Production and genetic characterization of interspecific hybrids among Crambe abyssinica, Crambe hispanica and Crambe kralikii.

In this paper, interspecific crosses among Crambe abyssinica, Crambe hispanica, and Crambe kralikii were reported. In the C. hispanica x C. abyssinica (H x A) cross, 118 F1 hybrids were produced without embryo rescue, while 5 F1 hybrids were obtained with embryo rescue, when C. hispanica was used as the female parent. In the reciprocal cross (A x H), 232 hybrids were obtained without embryo res...

Effect of organic reducing agents and ferrous ion on thioglucosidase activity of Crambe abyssinica seed.

Biotechnological route for obtaining methyl esters from crambe oil (Crambe abyssinica)

Introduction The fatty acid esters synthesis by transesterification of oils to produce biodiesel commonly involves methanol or ethanol as acyl acceptor. The transesterification of vegetable oils catalyzed by lipases is an alternative process for obtaining biodiesel. These biocatalysts working under mild conditions of temperature, allow for easy recovery of glycerol, synthesis of specific alkyl ...

Plant-pollinator interactions in Crambe abyssinica Hochst. (Brassicaceae) associated with environmental variables.

Despite the economic importance of Crambe abyssinica, the present study is the first report on bees that occur with this species, and could aid in developing alternative methods for controlling insect pests without seriously impacting pollinators. The present study examined the following questions: (1) Which species are potential pollinators of C. abyssinica? (2) How do environmental conditions...
