PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN WHEAT SEEDS DURING THE ARTIFICIAL DRYING PROCESS

The effect of ageing on antioxidant and biochemical changes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds.

This research was carried out to study the effect of ageing on antioxidant and biochemical changes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds. The experiment laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications in Islamic Azad University, Boroujerd Branch, Boroujerd, Iran in 2015. The seeds of wheat (cv Sardari) were harvested at maturity and ageing treatments were done at 43° C wit...

Changes in the nutritional content of fruit and vegetables during the dehydration process of freeze drying

Physiological and biochemical changes during the loss of desiccation tolerance in germinating Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds.

We investigated the loss of desiccation tolerance (DT) in Adenanthera pavonina seeds during germination. Seeds were subjected to imbibition for 0, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 81 h, then dried to their initial moisture content (13%), rehydrated and evaluated for survival (resumption of growth and development of normal seedlings) and membrane system integrity (electrolyte leakage). Embryonic axes of seeds...

The Effect of Creating an Artificial Night On Physiological Changes in Preterm Infants

Introduction Preterm infants are exposed to irregular light for several weeks or months in the Neonatal intensive-care unit (NICU). This lack of maternal entrainment, the exposure to irregular extrauterine lighting and care in the nursery may contribute to the disturbances in body temperature, sleep and physiological changes that are commonly experienced by preterm infants. Materials and Method...

Changes in Carbohydrate Content of Wheat Plants during the Process of Hardening for Drought Resistance.

The process of hardening for drought resistance results in many changes in the vegetative organs of plants. PRINGSHEIM (7) has noted that pumpkin seedlings, grown under conditions of insufficient moisture, had an increased osmotic pressure in the cells and a higher resistance to drought than check plants grown in a moist soil and humid atmosphere. Since then a number of investigations have been...
