We investigated soybean seed protein gene transcription during development. We found that seed protein genes are transcriptionally activated and then repressed during embryogenesis and that these genes are either inactive or transcribed at low levels in the mature plant. We further observed that genes encoding mRNAs with vastly different prevalences are transcribed at similar rates. DNA gel blo...

breeders will probably concentrate more effort on other agronomic and chemical characteristics of this plant. A knowledge of the genetic behavior of oil content, protein content and seed coat type should be helpful in the selection of high oil and protein lines. The purpose of this paper is to report inheritance studies of oil content, protein content and rough and smooth seed coat type along w...

to study the including rhizobium treatment (strain numbers of 133, 116 & combination of them) along with 100% nitrogen fertilizer application and a check (no inoculation & no fertilizer) on certain agronomical and physiological traits of three common bean cultivars (viz. bahman, darkhshan & sayiad) a field experiment was performed at research station of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010...

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean crop with an edible seed that both contains high protein content and provides high quality protein with a balanced amino acid profile in embryonic tissues. Quinoa is a halophyte adapted to harsh environments with highly saline soil. In this study, four quinoa varieties were grown under six salinity treatments and two levels of fertilization, and t...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

Rapid, non-destructive single-seed compositional analyses are useful for many areas of crop science, including breeding and genetics. Seeds are sometimes unique and require preservation due to small samples, which necessitates development of methods for total non-destructive measurement. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used for non-destructive single-seed composition predic...

seed protein usually is not sensitive to environmental fluctuations; its banding pattern is very stable which advocated for cultivars identification purpose in crop. this study was planned to study effect of water deficit on protein content and protein banding pattern of wheat genotypes. in this study five wheat genotypes were planted in early november, growing season of 2008-2009. the experime...

A field study was undertaken during winter (rabi) season of 2013-2014 to explore the effect of graded levels of fertilizers and bio-fertilizers on yield of chickpea, protein content in chickpea seeds and nutrient uptake by the crop. Significantly higher seed and stover yields (1854, 2722 kg ha-1, respectively) were recorded with application of fertilizer @ 100% RDF (25:50:00, kg N:P:K ha-1). Re...
