Short communication In ̄uence of alkaloid content on intake of subspecies of Chamaecytisus proliferus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alkaloid contents (sparteine accounted for more than 80%) of four subspecies of Chamaecytisus proliferus (tagasaste) were higher in spring cuts than in autumn cuts, and they were (g kgÿ1 DM for spring and autumn cuts, respectively) 2.9 and 1.6 for palmensis subspecies, 7.3 and 2.9 for canariae, 11.3 and 7.9 for meridionales and 2.7 for the autumn cut of calderae. Voluntary intake was determined by free-choosing among subspecies cuts. Intake of tagasaste subspecies ranged between 3.7 and 9.2 g DM kgÿ1 BW, and was negatively correlated (rÿ0.92, p<0.01) with alkaloid content of subspecies, but not with chemical composition or ruminal degradability of nutrients. Alkaloid content of subspecies could explain the erratic intake of tagasaste. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Integral valorization of tagasaste (Chamaecytisus proliferus) under hydrothermal and pulp processing.
Tagasaste wood (Chamaecytisus proliferus L.F. ssp palmensis) was characterized, chemical and energy terms, and assessed its potential as a lignocellulosic raw material, and its integral fractionation by autohydrolysis and delignification with ethanol. The hydrothermal treatment of the raw material at 175-185 degrees C provided a liquor containing a substantially increased amount of oligomers (b...

Two woody legumes species (Chamaecytisus proliferus L.F. ssp. palmensis and Leucaena diversifolia) were evaluated for integrally exploitation. The raw material was subjected to autohydrolysis under variable operating conditions which provided a liquid phase rich in hemicellulose oligomers and a solid phase that was used to obtain cellulose pulp and paper sheets by using organosolv procedures. T...

Some agricultural residues such as wheat or barley straw, as well as certain fast-growing plants like Leucaena leucocephala and Chamaecytisus proliferus, could be used as raw materials for the paper industry as an alternative to traditional plants (eucalyptus, pine, etc.). In the present study, four types of lignin obtained from the spent liquors produced by the pulping processes using the abov...

Heavy metal pollution is a worldwide problem with serious environmental consequences. The objective of the present experiment was to investigate whether arginine as nitric oxide precursor and or polyamines substrate can decrease the destructive effects of oxidative stress induced by nickel contamination in Hyoscyamus niger plant. In this study the effects of arginine pretreatment on alkaloid co...

Abstract Background and Objective: Paratuberculosis has been repeatedly reported from Iranian ruminant herds. The extrem fastidious nature of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculsos hinders genomic diversity studies of the pathogen. Short Sequence Repeat analysis is one of the genome-based approches recently developed to overcome this d...
