This study was conducted to investigate the effects of partial replacement of dietary fish meal with soybean meal (SBM) on some blood and serum parameters of Beluga (Huso huso) juveniles. Three isonitrogenic and isoenergetic diets, as SBM1 (Soybean meal protein (SBP): Fishmeal Protein (FP) =1:3), SBM2 (SBP: FP = 2: 3) and SBM3 (SBP: FP =1: 1) were fed to triplicate groups of fish. After 8 weeks...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of substitution soybean meal (SBM) with canola meal (CM) and formulated diets based on total and digestible amino acid on performance, egg quality, organs weight and blood parameters of laying hens from 73 to 83 weeks of age. A total of 128 laying hens were distributed by completely randomized design in a 2×2 factorial arrangement with 2 protein ...

introduction amount and vertical distribution of leaf area are essential for estimating interception and utilization of solar radiation of crop canopies and, consequently dry matter accumulation (valentinuz & tollenaar, 2006). vertical distribution of leaf area is leaf areas per horizontal layers, based on height (boedhram et al., 2001). above-ground biomass is one of the central traits in func...

Methods The aim of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of sensitization to rGly m 4 in adults with soybean allergy, and to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of the IgE antibody to rGly m 4 (ImmunoCAP) in soybean allergy in central Japan. Twenty-one soybean-allergic patients were prospectively recruited from Jan. to Dec. 2009, and their levels of IgE antibody to rGly m 4 were compared wit...

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) infection of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) has been reported, but soybean (Glycine max) has not previously been identified as a TYLCV host. Five cultivars of white soybean were agro-inoculated using an infectious TYLCV clone. At 30 days post-inoculation, they showed infection rates of 25% to 100%. Typical TYLCV symptoms were not observed in any inocu...

Herbicide-resistant transgenic soybean plants hold a leading market share in the USA and other countries, but soybean has been regarded as recalcitrant to transformation for many years. The cumulative and, at times, exponential advances in genetic manipulation have made possible further choices for soybean transformation. The most widely and routinely used transformation systems are cotyledonar...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effects of toasted soybean grains on bioeconomic performance of pullets and layer hens in hot and humid environment. A total of 972 three-week-old Harco chicks were divided into 12 groups. At starter, pullet and laying phases, birds were fed four diets containing 0% (R0), 5% (R5), 10% (R10), and 15% (R15) of soybean grains. Results showed similar feed i...

Tocochromanols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) are important lipid soluble antioxidants and are an essential part of the mammalian diet. Oilseeds are particularly rich in tocochromanols with an average concentration 10-fold higher than other plant tissues. Here we describe a systematic approach to identify rate-limiting reactions in the tocochromanol biosynthetic pathway, and the application of ...

The newly invasive soybean aphid,Aphis glycinesMatsumura, has seriously threatened soybean production in North America, after having spread to 20 states in the United States and several southernprovincesofCanada.Control ofA. glycineshas focusedonapplicationsof insecticides, which are not a long-term solution to soybean aphid pest management. In autumn, soybean aphids start producing alate femal...

Changes in the reserve proteins of soybean seeds (Glycine max) were investigated by the techniques of disc electrophoresis and disc immunoelectrophoresis. Three different antisera were used in these studies, an anti-whole soybean extract serum 129, an anti-11S soybean protein monospecific serum 102, and an anti-7S soybean protein monospecific serum 132. At least 6 antigenically distinct compone...
