Transparent Testa16 (TT16), a transcript regulator belonging to the B(sister) MADS box proteins, regulates proper endothelial differentiation and proanthocyanidin accumulation in the seed coat. Our understanding of its other physiological roles, however, is limited. In this study, the physiological and developmental roles of TT16 in an important oil crop, canola (Brassica napus), were dissected...

beta-Ketoacyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthase (KCS) catalyzes the condensation of malonyl-CoA with long-chain acyl-CoA. This reaction is the initial step of the microsomal fatty acyl-CoA elongation pathway responsible for formation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs, or fatty acids with chain lengths > 18 carbons). Manipulation of this pathway is significant for agriculture, because it is the bas...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis c virus (HCV), prevalent among 3% of the world population, is a major worldwide public health concern and an effective vaccination could help to overcome this problem. Plant seeds as low-cost vaccine expression platforms are highly desirable to produce antigens. OBJECTIVES The present study was aimed at investigating the possible expression of recombinant HCV core protein...

canola has industrial applications as well as edible usage. in regard to 15.8 kg oil per capita usage and vast oil importing, cultivation development of oil seeds is a major issue. this study was performed to determine the best sowing date and cultivars for canola as means of seed yield and oil percent improvement in dehloran region of elam province. 25 treatments were used in a split plot expe...

in order to study the effect of flaming on seed viability of sinapis arvensis l., changes in microorganisms population and physicochemical characteristics of soil after canola (brassica napus l.) harvesting, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with four replications and eight treatments at karaj research center, iran, during 2005- 2006. after harvesting canol...

Field experiment had been done Research and Production Station, National Research Centre, Nubaria location, to study the effect of cobalt on growth, seeds yield, oil yield and oil fatty acids constituents. The experiment containing 13 plots area were 15 m (5 X 3) containing 3 rows each, planted with 10 plants. The seedlings (at the third truly leaf) were irrigated with cobalt sulphate once with...

This study was conducted to evaluate emulsion mapping between emulsion stability and cooking yields, apparent viscosity, and hardness of reduced-fat pork emulsion systems. The reduced-fat emulsion systems were supplemented with different lipid types and brown rice bran fiber (BRF) concentrations. Compared to the control with 30% back fat, lower emulsion stability and higher cooking yield of mea...

Cropping sequences integrating perennial forages and annual crops can generate multidimensional agroeconomic environmental benefits. A 4-yr cropping sequence study was conducted from 2013 to 2016 evaluate the relative merits of various sequences. Three forage seed (creeping red fescue [Festuca rubra L.], alsike clover [Trifolium hybridum pratense L.]) four food (wheat [Triticum aestivum canola ...
