Sunflower Resistance to the Red Sunflower Seed Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Sunflower Seed and Acne Vulgaris

BACKGROUND Regardless of the overall association between diet and acne which cannot be easily ignored, there might be an association between specific nutrients and acne development or improvement. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the effect of dietary intake of sunflower seeds on acne severity and the pattern of acne lesions. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a randomized controlled tri...

Seed Distribution Uniformity of Sunflower

In this study, four different type seeders were evaluated for seed spacing, depth uniformity, and plant emergence at three forward speeds (3.6, 5.4, and 7.2 km h-1). The planter types were: no-till planter, precision vacuum planter, universal planter, and semi-automatic potato planter. The sowing uniformity of the horizontal distribution of seeds was described by using the multiple index, the m...

Airborne allergy to sunflower seed.

BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that bird fanciers may develop airborne allergies to unusual allergens. OBJECTIVE To detect the allergen source in a bird fancier with a history of asthma associated with bird cage cleaning activities and with contact with a Brazil parrot. METHODS SPT with a large series of both airborne and food allergens were carried out. IgE reactivity to allergens...

Allergy to sunflower seed and sunflower butter as proposed vehicle for sensitization

BACKGROUND It is hypothesized that household exposure to allergenic proteins via an impaired skin barrier, such as atopic dermatitis, may contribute to the development of IgE sensitization. Household presence of peanut is a risk factor for the development of peanut allergy in children. Sunflower seed butter is a peanut-free alternative to peanut butter, and sunflower seed allergy is an uncommon...
