متن کاملChemical Composition, Fatty Acids Profile and Biological Evaluation of Tannins of Selected Date Seeds Grown in Iran
This study was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and fatty acids profile of six predominant date seed cultivars grown in Iran including Barhi, Estamaran, Mazafati, Khasi, Kharak and Zahedi and the biological effects of their tannins based on in vitro gas production. Organic matter digestibility (OMD), metabolizable energy (ME) and concentration of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) wer...
متن کاملInduction and identification of autotetraploidy in ashwagandha (Withania somnifera Dunal.)
Seed treatment with aqueous colchicine solution was carried out for induction of autotetraploidy in ashwagandha in four accessions (Shilpa, Acc. 17, Bydyanath and MWS-327). Increased stomatal size and decrease in stomata density aided in detection of autotetraploids. Among four ashwagandha accessions tried, Acc. 17 was more responsive for the induction of autotetraploids. Colchicine at 0.5 per ...
