The protein content and amino acid profile of Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica) leaves and tubers were determined from ten different accessions taken from Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia. Crude protein content was determined by Kjeldahl method and amino acid profile was analyzed using performic acid oxidation and acid hydrolysis by ninhydrin-derivatized analysis with amino acid an...

improve forage quantity and quality using organic and biological fertilizers production of important needs in dryland farming systems of the country. in this study the effects of foliar application of four different combinations of amino acid four different time steps were germinated plant growth, stem elongation, flowering and spraying all three steps above with the control treatment was carri...

Rhododendron is one of the largest shrubs and is well known as a garden plant because of their evergreen leaves and various flower colors. The present study investigated the variation in amino acids in the differently colored flowers of Rhododendron schlippenbachii. Analysis of the Rhododendron flowers revealed 22 types of amino acids. The amino acid content varied greatly depending on the diff...

the effect of a selected autochthonous starter culture made up by streptococcus thermophilus, lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis and lactobacillus helveticus on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of pecorino romano cheese during ripening was investigated. the suitability of the experimental starter culture was tested at industrial scales in cheese-making trials of pecor...

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of pre-harvest application of some amino acids and organic acids on enzymatic traits and longevity of carnation flowers (Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Tessino) based on completely randomized design with 13 treatments and three...

The apoplast of developing soybean (Glycine max cv Hodgson) embryos and seed coats was analyzed for sucrose, amino acids, ureides, nitrate, and ammonia. The apoplast concentration of amino acids and nitrate peaked during the most rapid stage of seed filling and declined sharply as the seed attained its maximum dry weight. Amino acids and nitrate accounted for 80 to 95% of the total nitrogen, wi...

Under two monoxenic culture techniques of growing plants (filter paper and silica sand cultures), sugar in root exudate from Meloidogyne incognita-infected tomato increased 133 to 836% over controls. In contrast, amino acids were moderately reduced 52 to 56%. Chromatographic analysis showed that galled root exudate contained three sugars, twelve amino acids, and three organic acids, whereas hea...

The influence of peptides and amino acids on ammonia assimilation and de novo synthesis of amino acids by three predominant noncellulolytic species of ruminal bacteria, Prevotella bryantii B14, Selenomonas ruminantium HD4, and Streptococcus bovis ES1, was determined by growing these bacteria in media containing 15NH4Cl and various additions of pancreatic hydrolysates of casein (peptides) or ami...

The fatty acids and amino acids compositions of different parts of wapiti deer (Cervus elaphus) muscle (loin, chops, shoulder and hindquarters) were analyzed in this study. In total, fifteen types of fatty acid were identified and quantified in fresh and freeze-dried samples, with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) constituting approximately 47.82-59.04%...
