This study aimed to determine the effects of adding lactic acid bacteria maize silage on nutritionalf quality, its fermentation properties and in vitro organic matter digestion (IVOMD). In study, pre-fermented juices (PFJ) prepared from different water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) sources at rate 5% commercial homofermentative heterofermentative (LAB) were added silages. Groups designed as (I) co...

Freezing injury is an important limiting factor in the production of pomegranate in Iran.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol (PBZ) on cold hardiness of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. ‘Malas Saveh’. Different concentrations of PBZ including 0 (control), 31, 62, 125 or 250 mg L–1 were sprayed on one-year-old plants in August and the electrolyte leakage o...

Mulberry (Morus spp., Moracecae) is a notable medicinal and multi-functional plant. Distinct mulberry types are spread in subtropical, temperate tropical areas all over the world. leaves carry number of bioactive compounds with it along various pharmacological effects. It magnificent origin nutrients, phytochemical been proven as nutraceutical. have wide range effects having bacteriostatic, ant...

In this study, two genotypes from the white clover breeding line ‘Syrian selection’, which demonstrates improved survival in summer drought, and two from the white clover cultivar ‘Grasslands Kopu’, a more drought-sensitive cultivar, are compared in terms of their responses to a water deficit. Plants of each genotype were grown in a temperature-controlled glasshouse and a water deficit imposed ...

Human milk contains both a particulate and a soluble folate binding protein. Following solubilization of the particulate folate binding protein with 1%Triton X-100, the particulate and soluble folate binding proteins were purified 13,000-fold using pteroylglutamic acid-Sepharose as the major purification step. Each of the purified proteins gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylam...

Eighteen Pediococcus strains were screened for their potential as silage inoculants. Pediococcus acidilactici G24 was found to be the most suitable, exhibiting a short lag phase on both glucose and fructose, a rapid rate of acid production, a high sugar-to-lactate conversion efficiency, no detectable breakdown of proteins or lactic acid, and the ability to grow within a broad range of pH and te...

Differences in reproductive costs between male and female plants have been shown to foster sex-related variability in growth and C-storage patterns. The extent to which differential secondary growth in dioecious trees is associated with changes in stem carbohydrate storage patterns, however, has not been fully assessed. We explored the long-term radial growth and the seasonal variation of non-s...

Water deÞcit and shade stress in weed-infested crops could alter plant growth and biochemistry and feeding and oviposition by the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exiguaHübner. Palmer amaranthpigweed,Amaranthus palmeriS.Wats.,was grownunder 25%of fullwatering(waterdeÞcit), 30% of full light (shade), or combined stress. All treatments decreased plant height andweight. Shade and combined stresses decrea...
