Irrigation 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...
متن کاملStudent activity 1 : determining sugar content using a refractometer
paratus. In activity 2, students can use the equipment used by hobby winemakers – a vinometer – to measure the alcohol content of the must and wine. 3. A well balanced wine needs a certain amount of fruit acid; the total acid content is a very important measure, because it directly affects the flavour. In activity 3, the acid content is determined by pH titration. Four further activitiesw2 can ...
متن کاملHeterosis and Combining ability Studies for Sugar content in Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata L.)
The present investigation has been undertaken in sweet corn to carry out the combining ability analysis and to estimate heterosis of yield and yield contributing characters. Eight divergent parents were selected and crossed in diallel fashion excluding reciprocals during kharif, 2010. The resulting 28 crosses along with parents and a standard check Sugar 75 and Madhuri were evaluated in Randomi...
متن کاملeffects of plant density and sowing date on economic yield and sugar content of sweet corn
in order to study the effect of plant density and sowing date on ear economic yield and sugar content in sweet corn (zea mays l. cv. saccarata), a field experiment was conducted at tarbiat modarres university (tehran west) in 2004. the experiment was carried out using split plots based on randomized complete block design of 4 replications. four levels of sowing date (may 22th, june 10th, july 1...
متن کاملThe sweet life: diet sugar concentration influences paracellular glucose absorption.
Small birds and bats face strong selection pressure to digest food rapidly in order to reduce digesta mass carried during flight. One mechanism is rapid absorption of a high proportion of glucose via the paracellular pathway (transfer between epithelial cells, not mediated by transporter proteins). Intestinal paracellular permeability to glucose was assessed for two nectarivorous passerines, th...
