safety and beneficence of farm animal nutrition plays a great role in their healthy life which in turn have impact on human nutrition via diary or meat products. assessing safety and beneficence of vicia varibilis freyn and sint. which is chosen intrinsically by domesticated animals of kohgiluyehand boyerahmad iranis the aim of the present work. our results not only show no cytotoxic activity i...

Protein synthesis by a rabbit reticulocyte lysate is inhibited by the haemagglutinating lectins from Momordica charantia and Crotalaria juncea seeds and from the roe of Rutilus rutilus, and by a commercial preparation of the mitogenic lectin from Phytolacca americana. The haemagglutinins from the seeds of Ricinus communis and of Vicia cracca acquired inhibitory activity after their reduction wi...

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of the processing method of common vetch seed (CVS) (Vicia sativa) on laying performance, egg quality, metabolic parameters and liver histopatology during the peak production period in hens. Lohman layers, 46 wk of age in 6 replicate cages each containing 4 hens, were allocated randomly to one of four dietary treatments. Diets were control (C...

long term use of fallow in wheat-based cropping system of dry and semi-dry lands can increase erosion and decrease soil fertility. legumes as substituting crops for fallow could improve sustainability in this area. this study was conducted to evaluate the substituting of some legumes for fallow in a 2-yr wheat rotation at research stations in north khorasan province (natural resources research ...

In some Mediterranean areas-mainly the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, Cyprus, and Israel-where the cultivation and consumption of broad beans (Vicia faba) are extensive, favism is rather common especially in children. It occurs after the inhalation of some, as yet unidentified constituent(s) of the plant and/or more often after eating the beans, especially when they are fresh. The ...

Studies were conducted on three herbaceous plant species growing in naturally high solar UV environments in the subalpine of Mauna Kea, Hawaii, USA, to determine if diurnal changes in epidermal UV transmittance (T(UV)) occur in these species, and to test whether manipulation of the solar radiation regime could alter these diurnal patterns. Additional field studies were conducted at Logan, Utah,...

In 2011 a study was carried out analyzing the effects of road traffic on bioaccumulation of zinc and copper in selected species of dicotyledonous plants growing on adjacent grasslands. To do the research the plants were sampled from the 9-km-long Siedlce bypass, a part of the international route E-30. They were collected during the flowering stage, at following distances from the road: 1, 5, 10...
