Background & Aim: Ocimum basilicum L. is belong to the Lamiaceae family which is cultivated as a culinary, industrial and medicinal plants in some countries from thousands years ago. The seed of this plant is rich in poly un-saturated fatty acids (PUFA) and produced a large amount of mucilage. Experimental: The oil of seed was extracted separately and converted to fatty acids...

Hydrated Arabidopsis thaliana seeds are coated by a gelatinous layer called mucilage, which is mainly composed of cell wall polysaccharides. Since mucilage is rich in pectin, its architecture can be visualized with the ruthenium red (RR) dye. We screened the seeds of around 280 Arabidopsis natural accessions for variation in mucilage structure, and identified a large number of novel variants th...

The viscous seed mucilage of flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a mixture of rhamnogalacturonan I and arabinoxylan with novel side group substitutions. The rhamnogalacturonan I has numerous single nonreducing terminal residues of the rare sugar l-galactose attached at the O-3 position of the rhamnosyl residues instead of the typical O-4 position. The arabinoxylan is highly branched, primarily with d...

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) plants are generally grown for different properties and produce seed with a considerable amount at the end of growing season. This study was carried out to determine yield, quality fixed oil components eight basil (B) genotypes purple (PB) green (GB) leaf color obtained from countries. In other words, yield quality, components, 1000 weight, content, crude protein, as...

in order to evaluate intercropping of soybean (glycine max l. cv. jk) with sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and borage (borago officinalis l.) with weed interference, an experiment was performed in randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at a field located 10 km of shirvan during year of 2011. the treatments were included 75% soybean: 25%sweet basil, 50%soybe...

in order to study yield and yield components in intercropping bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and evaluating effect of intercropping on weed control, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season of 2008. treatments: included 1- sole crop of bean 2- sole crop of sweet basil 3- strip ...
