Selenium Enrichment of Horticultural Crops.
The ability of some crops to accumulate selenium (Se) is crucial for human nutrition and health. Selenium has been identified as a cofactor of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which is a catalyzer in the reduction of peroxides that can damage cells and tissues, and can act as an antioxidant. Plants are the first link in the food chain, which ends with humans. Increasing the Se quantity in pla...
متن کاملSalinity±mineral nutrient relations in horticultural crops
The relations between salinity and mineral nutrition of horticultural crops are extremely complex and a complete understanding of the intricate interactions involved would require the input from a multidisciplinary team of scientists. This review addresses the nutrient elements individually and we emphasise research directed towards the organ, whole-plant and field level. We have attempted to s...
متن کاملAeroponic and Hydroponic Systems for Medicinal Herb, Rhizome, and Root Crops
536 Fig. 1. Aeroponic A-frame unit opened to show Anemopsis californica (yerba mansa) roots (Native American Botanics Corp, Tucson, Ariz.). of the crop are suspended in a spray chamber where they are fully accessible for monitoring and harvesting, permitting multiple harvests of roots from a single crop (Fig. 1). The aeroponic systems were designed and constructed by Native American Botanics Co...
متن کاملRapid Hydroponic Screening of Crops for Aluminium Tolerance
Aluminium toxicity is a major crop production constraint, particularly in acid tropical soils. The toxicity is aggravated when pH falls below 5.5 since toxic monomeric Al species get solubilized. The screening of Al tolerance intrinsically depends on culture medium, with a nutrient solution having pH of 4.5 being recommended. Hydroponic experiment was carried out at Jomo Kenyatta University of ...
متن کاملPotential for engineering horticultural crops with high antioxidant capacity
Cellular oxidation index has emerged as an important determinant in defining the fate of a living cell and its susceptibility to disease. Oxidative stress targets include oxidation of DNA, protein and lipids; causing cellular oncogenesis, chronic diseases and premature senescence. The possibility that dietary intervention via nutrition-enriched food may significantly decrease incidence of diet-...
