The impact of water-soluble carbohydrate composition in relation to damage levels of onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman), were studied under field conditions at the Experimental Field of the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana on 7 cabbage cultivar (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata). Onion thrips showed weak preference on cabbage heads with high amount of total carbohydrate, fructose and gluc...

cold stress is one of the most important environmental stresses for rice especially in temperate and high elevation areas. in present study, the effect of different temperatures, as the main plot, including 25 (control), 10 and 5°c on 12 rice cultivars (including champa yasouj, gerde, lenjan askari, kaamfirouz, kohsar, shafagh, domsiya mamassani, dular, gharib, hasan saraei, mosa tarom and 304)...

THE seromucoid* fraction of the plasma proteins comprises a group of glycoproteins-i.e., protein-carbohydrate complexes-characterized by their solubility in certain protein precipitants (perchloric, sulphosalicylic and trichloracetic acids) and by being not readily precipitated by heat. This fraction, which normally contains about io% of the total proteit-bound carbohydrate of the plasma and ac...

Research was conducted on Aloe vera, a traditional medicinal plant, to investigate the effects of light on growth, carbon allocation, and the concentrations of organic solutes, including soluble carbohydrates and aloin. The plants were vegetatively propagated and grown under three irradiances: full sunlight, partial (30% full sunlight), and deep shade (10% full sunlight) for 12-18 months. After...

Alfalfa stems, reed canarygrass, and switchgrass; perennial herbaceous species that have potential as biomass energy crops in temperate regions; were evaluated for their bioconversion potential as energy crops. Each forage species was harvested at two or three maturity stages and analyzed for carbohydrates, lignin, protein, lipid, organic acids, and mineral composition. The biomass samples were...

in order to investigate the effect of two mycorrhizal species (glomus mosseae and g. intraradices) on different growth aspects of two pistachio cultivars (p. vera cv. badami-riz zarand, and p. vera cv. qazvini), a greenhouse experiment was conducted taking into account three factors of: mycorrhizae inoculation at three levels (no mycorrhizae application as control, g. mosseae , g. intraradices)...

Intercropping is a cropping strategy that makes efficient use of space, nutrients, and soil. A 2-year field trial was conducted in 2019 2020 to study the effects different soybean sowing times (9 days before corn (ST1), 0 at (ST2), 9 after (ST3), respectively) densities (120,000 plants ha−1 (PD1), 150,000 (PD2), 180,000 (PD3), respectively, planting density 60,000 constantly) on total yield mix...

Rhizomes of the perennial herb Paris polyphylla have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years. Agricultural production of the rhizomes requires 7-10 years, which is too long to meet the demand of the medicinal industry. Therefore, studies on improving the yield of the herb and shortening the culturing period are imperative. The present work aimed to investigate the effect...

Thermal modification beneficially alters several technological parameters of wood. The changes in the physical parameters are due to the significant alterations of the structure and the chemical composition of wood, which take place during the modification process. These changes are complex and some aspects are still far from being completely understood. Various industrially important hardwoods...

In this study some selected chemical properties such as total soluble solids, pH, total acidity, formalin index, reduced sugar content and ascorbic acid of major sour cherry cultivated grown in different provinces of Iran corresponding were investigated.  Minerals K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ were determine...
