in this research the drying of four kinds of vegetables was investigated in a vacuum dryer. the effect of temperature on drying rate of samples at various temperatures (30, 35 and 45 °c) was studied. six thin-layer drying models were fitted to drying data and suitable model was selected from them. then effective moisture diffusivity and activation energy of samples were calculated. the diffusio...

Furanocoumarins, Phytoalexins, O-Methyltransferases, Fungal Elicitor, Cell Suspension Cultures Cultured parsley cells (Petroselinum crispum) treated with an elicitor from the soybean patho­ gen, Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea, were used as source for the separation, extensive purification and characterization of S-adenosyl-L-methionine: xanthotoxol and S-adenosyl-Lmethionine: bergaptol...

An elicitor-regulated transient expression system was established in soybean protoplasts that allowed the identification of cis-regulatory elements involved in plant defense. The 5' region of an ultraviolet (UV) light-inducible and elicitor-inducible chs gene (chs1) of soybean was subjected to deletion analysis with the help of chimeric chs-nptII/gus gene constructs. This analysis delimited the...

The highest average value for the ascorbic acid content of freshly harvested vegetables in Olliver's (1954) list is 1 9 mg./g. fresh wt. for parsley (Carum petroselinum); in the Handbook of Biological Data (1956) the highest value is 1-36 for turnip greens (Brassica rapa). Morgan (1942) found 2-8 mg./g. in fresh parsley leaves. We have found the average value for several batches of lucerne (Med...

Contact-shifted resonances have been detected in the pmr spectra of both oxidized and reduced forms of spinach and parsley ferredoxins. These resonances are assigned to the beta-CH(2) protons of four cysteine residues that are thought to bind the iron-sulfur redox center to the polypeptide chain. Temperature dependences of contact shifts reveal that the two iron atoms are antiferromagnetically ...

in order to evaluate the genetic diversity some native populations of parsley iran, 21 parsley populations which collected from different regions of iran and cultured as an augmented design in shahid chamran university of ahvaz. in 2011-12. some of morphological characteristics including (time of emergence, plant height, fresh and dry weight, seed weight, chlorophyll content) and anti oxidant p...

Four short nucleotide sequences (boxes I to IV) contribute to the light responsiveness of the parsley chalcone synthase promoter. The sequence-related boxes II and III resemble several plant, viral, and bacterial promoter elements that share ACGT core sequences and are associated with diversely regulated genes. We have analyzed the binding characteristics and protein-protein interactions of fac...

Nowadays, the use of mobile telephony and wire-less devices has become more demanding, generating electromagnetic radiations. Microwave radiation can affect the growth rate of plants. For this study, the aromatic plants i.e. parsley, celery, dill, basil, were chosen as irradiated plants. This study aims to investigate the effects of irradiation with microwave field on polyphenolic compounds fro...

The phospholipids of cultured parsley and soybean cells were labelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol, [2-3H]glycerol or [32P]orthophosphate. By oneand two-dimensional chromatographic compari­ son of the labelled phospholipids with reference substances, the presence of l-(3-sn-phosphatidyl)-D-myo-inositol 4-phosphate and l-(3-sn-phosphatidyl)-D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate was demonstrated in these cu...
