in this work, the effect of three-day germination on proximate composition, total phenolic compounds, fatty acid profile, vitamin c content, radical scavenging activity, malondialdehyde content and reducing power of safflower seed was investigated. apart from ash, other parameters including oil, protein and crude fiber contents decreased significantly during germination. phenolics content incre...

This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, protein profile, and isoflavones content of soybean genotypes with different seed coat colors, intended for human consumption, for selection purposes regarding their nutritional properties. The cultivars BRSMG 800A, BRSMG 790A, and Conquista and the lineage MGBR07-7141 with matte brown, light yellow hilum, dark yellow hilum, and glossy blac...

Background: A pot experiment was conducted to determine the toxic effects of some heavy metals on the plant growth and seed yield of maize (Zea mays L.). Materials and Metheds: Heavy metals Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr and Co individually and in combinations were added as chloride salts in solutions to the pots before sowing. The test plants for were harvested after 80 days of germination and evaluated f...

in this study, the effects of culban seed (vicia peregrine l.) on live body weight, feed intake, feed efficiency, egg production, egg quality characteristics, egg yolk fatty acid profiles and yolk cholesterol content in laying hens were investigated. the experiment consists of seven treatment groups with ten replications containing one laying hen in each and for 32 weeks old seventy laying hen ...

a field experiment was performed in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation and application of k fertilizer on seed storage proteins  in chickpea, ilc-482 cultivar. experiment was performed in factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. in this experiment, two factor consist of irrigation in three levels (i1= non irrigation and i2= irrigation in flowering stage...

seed protein usually is not sensitive to environmental fluctuations; its banding pattern is very stable which advocated for cultivars identification purpose in crop. this study was planned to study effect of water deficit on protein content and protein banding pattern of wheat genotypes. in this study five wheat genotypes were planted in early november, growing season of 2008-2009. the experime...

due to the need to find new protein sources with considering the fact that the bitter vetch seed has high levels of protein content, physicochemical and mechanical properties of bitter vetch seed and functional properties of its flour were evaluated in this study. the effects of altering the ph on protein solubility, foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity and emulsion stability ...

Several legume seed proteins that are potentially allergenic, poorly digested by farm animals, and/or have undesirable functional properties, have been described. One of these is the albumin protein in pea (Pisum sativum) called PA2. A naturally occurring mutant line that lacks PA2 has been exploited in studies to determine the biological function of this nonstorage protein in seed development....

iron deficiency in soil reduces the quality of durum wheat leading to fe deficiency in human. thus, this experiment investigated the effects of foliar application of nano-iron oxide (2 and 4 g l-1), iron chelate (edta), (4 and 8 g l-1), iron sulfate (4 and 8 g l-1), and the control on grain yield and quality, yield components, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, peroxidase (pox), catalase (ca...
