Capsaicin Content and Pungency of Dierent Capsicum spp. Cultivars
Six chilli cultivars belonging to three species of Capsicum: Capsicum annuum L. (cvs ‘Meiteimorok’ and ‘Haomorok’), Capsicum !utescens L. (cvs ‘Uchithi’ and ‘Mashingkha’) and Capsicum chinense Jacq. (cvs ‘Umorok’ and ‘Chiengpi’) are economically important food crops. !e capsaicin content and pungency in scoville heat unit (SHU) of these six chilli cultivars were determined by high-performance l...
متن کاملEffect of Sink Removal and Magnesium Spraying on Photosynthetic Pigments and Sugar Yield of Two Sweet Sorghum Cultivars
The ever-increasing problem of water scarcity in arid and semi-arid regions of Iran has necessitated the demand to replacement of sugar beet plantation by more water-use efficient plants. Sweet sorghum is one of the sugars plants with low water requirements that potentiates cost-effective sugar production in different regions. However, physiological aspects of sugar yield in this plant is not c...
متن کاملEvaluation of onion cultivars for resistance to onion thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and Iris yellow spot virus.
Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a worldwide pest of onion, Allium cepa L., can reduce onion yield by > 50% and be even more problematic when it transmits Iris yellow spot virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus, IYSV). Because T. tabaci is difficult to control with insecticides and other strategies, field studies on onion, Allium cepa L., resistance to T. ta...
متن کاملModified method for the determination of pyruvic acid with dinitrophenylhydrazine in the assessment of onion pungency
Modifications to the commonly used Schwimmer and Weston procedure for determining pyruvic acid in onions are proposed. These modifications involve changes in the concentrations and volumes of the reagents and the use of 515 rather than 420 nm as the wavelength for measurements. These changes improve both the linearity and the sensitivity of the assay and eliminate interference from coloured mat...
متن کاملIrrigation and Sugar in Sweet Corn
Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) producers desire high yields and high sugar content in the endosperm. High irrigation levels result in high yield, but their effect on sugar content is unclear. The effects of two irrigation levels, standard and stressed on endosperm sugar content were evaluated using three sugary1 hybrids over 2 years. No significant differences were found among the treatments when ave...
