This study was conducted to investigate the effect of lentils on serum glucose and serum lipid levels in diabetic rats. Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, 12 weeks of age weighing 220-290g, were used. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin at a level of 35 mg/kg intra-peritoneally. The animals were randomly divided into five groups, eight animals each: a casein diet (control), raw whole lent...

In sorghum and mungbean – lentil cropping system, field experiments were conducted for three successive years to assess the effect of mung bean residue incorporation on sorghum and succeeding lentil productivity along with different doses of phosphorus (P; 0, 30, 60 kg ha−1) applied to these crops. The level of soil fertility was also tested with or without incorporation of mung bean residue. T...

Morphological, nutritional and molecular analyses were carried out to assess genetic diversity among 35 introduced lentil genotypes (Lens culinaris Medik.). The genotypes exhibited significant differences for their field parameters and some of them showed noticeable superiority. The nutritional and proximate analysis showed that some genotypes were excellent sources of proteins, essential amino...

Lentil is a poor competitor of weeds and its sensitivity to herbicides is a major hurdle for large scale production. The present study was conducted to select herbicide resistant lentil genotypes through seed mutagenesis. Seeds of three advanced lentil genotypes (LPP 11001, LPP 11100 and LPP 11116) were treated with two different concentrations of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS; 0.1 and 0.2%), hyd...

This preliminary research was aimed at finding the roots in various Eurasian proto-languages directly related to pulses and giving the words denoting the same in modern European languages. Six Proto-Indo-European roots were indentified, namely arnk(')- ('a leguminous plant'), *bhabh- ('field bean'), *[Formula: see text] ('a kernel of leguminous plant', 'pea'), ghArs- ('a leguminous plant'), *ke...

sion problems are increasingly severe (Küsmenoğlu and Muehlbauer, 1998). Domestication and subsequent genetic enhancement in lentil (Lens Individual lentil plants are typically short with slender culinaris Medik.) have involved changes in plant structure and DM stems and so crop stands produce small amounts of distribution. These changes were examined using a ‘‘genetic gradient’’ comprising thr...

A field experiment was conducted in Split Plot Design with five intercropping systems [sole mustard, sole lentil, mustard + lentil (1:3), (2:2) and (2:3)] four fertility levels (0, 75, 100 125% RDF) replicated thrice during rabi season, 2017-18 at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. The results revealed that planting 2:2 row ratio, being par to gave significantly higher seed y...

Artificial neural network (ANN), pseudo second-order kinetic, and gene expression programming (GEP) models were constructed to predict removal efficiency of Lanaset Red G (LR G) using lentil straw (LS) based on 1152 experimental sets. The sorption process was dependent on adsorbent particle size, pH, initial dye concentration, and contact time. These variables were used as input to construct a ...
