Compared to simple sugars, complex carbohydrates have been assumed invisible to taste. However, two recent studies proposed that there may be a perceivable taste quality elicited by complex carbohydrates independent of sweet taste. There is precedent with behavioural studies demonstrating that rats are very attracted to complex carbohydrates, and that complex carbohydrates are preferred to simp...

a valuable composition of mentha piperita l. essential oil is menthol that is widely used fordifferent industries. the plants were treated with different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (meja) and after 24 h were evaluated for total soluble proteins, chlorophylls (a, b, and total), malondialdehyde, carbohydrates and antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and guaiacol peroxidase). variance...

several plant growth regulators are used to improve the quality of cut flower in bulb plants, but their effectiveness depends on genotype and plant growth conditions such as nutrition status. a pot experiment was conducted under farm condition to study benzyl adenine (ba) and potassium nitrate interaction on floret diameter, stem diameter, flower height, flower number per bulb, fresh and dry we...

in this research, the effect of water stress on the soluble sugars, starch and proteins content of two different cultivars (kaka and jam) of chickpea (cicer arietinum) was studied. the results showed that the soluble sugars increased while starch decreased during the stress in shoot and root of both cultivars. increasing of soluble sugars and decreasing of starch hall a positive correlation wit...

Abstract: Both protein and starch hydrolysis contribute to the effective mobilization of seed reserves trigger germination. We studied activities hydrolytic enzymes in germinating seeds mung bean (Vigna radiata) exposed cadmium stress at 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg.L-1. Exposure Cd decreased germination rate early seedling growth traits, including root shoot length plant fresh dry biomass compared co...
