Oil seed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivars, donors of quality (SC) and self-incompatible (SI) lines have been analysed using identification of S-locus. In several Brassica napus cultivars one S-locus SLG gene was detected as dominant and the second S-locus as recessive. Amplification class II SLG gene screened recessive gene in all analysed samples (SC and SI). The DNA fragment of recessive ge...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to see if a cook could be exposed to mutagenic aldehydes in fumes from frying of beefsteak using margarine, rapeseed oil, soybean oil or virgin olive oil as frying fat. In addition, levels of particle exposure were measured to make the results comparable to other studies. METHODS The levels of higher aldehydes and total particles were measured in the breath...

Contamination of soil / water resources by petroleum products poses severe threats to underground water and soil quality. In the present study biosurfactant producing bacterial cultures were used to degrade petrol engine oil under in situ conditions in the plant rhizosphere system. Two bacterial isolates used in this study were recovered from Haldia oil refinery sites and identified as Pseudomo...

Compacted soils affect global crop productivity and environmental quality. A field study was conducted from 2014 to 2020 in the northern Great Plains, USA, evaluate effect of various rooting systems on soil compaction 2 yr rotations camelina (Camelina sativa L.), carinata (Brassica A.) a cover mix planted place fallow with durum (Triticum D.). The designed as randomized complete block three rep...

IDENTIFICATION OF A MARKET Developing a new market for an established international crop like canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L., Brassicaceae) requires significant care and study. Canola has been identified by several authors as a highly desirable food oil. Canola oils are relatively rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and with small percentages of both saturated and polyunsaturated f...

We have investigated the protein domains responsible for the correct subcellular targeting of plant seed oleosins. We have attempted to study this targeting in vivo using "tagged" oleosins in transgenic plants. Different constructs were prepared lacking gene sequences encoding one of three structural domains of natural oleosins. Each was fused in frame to the Escherichia coli uid A gene encodin...

Physical and chemical changes were compared with soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil , rice oil, rapeseed oil, lard, palm oil and coconut oil in continuous water spraying and heating system (Table -1 , Fig,-1•`4). Thermal oxidative changes such as viscosity increasing ratio, carbonyl and iodine value , showed close relation with the initial iodine value of these oils. However, in coconut oil ...
