Production of functional food with high levels selenium and other antioxidants is very valuable for human protection against different forms oxidant stress. Among leafy vegetables parsley demonstrate the highest antioxidants. Biochemical analysis fluorimetric determination revealed that foliar biofortification 4 (Petroselinum crispum) cultivars Mitsuba (Cryptotaenia japonica) sodium selenate (2...

Narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) is an important dryland crop, providing a protein source in global grain markets. While agronomic practices have successfully controlled many dicot weeds among narrow-leafed lupins, the closely related sandplain cosentinii) has proven difficult to control, reducing yield and harvest quality. Here, we trained segmentation model detect lupins differenti...

Summary Shifting from a livestock‐based protein diet to plant‐based has been proposed as an essential requirement maintain global food sustainability, which requires the increased production of protein‐rich crops for direct human consumption. Meanwhile, lack sufficient genetic diversity in crop varieties is increasing concern sustainable supplies. Countering this clear understanding domesticati...

In connection with studies on the /3-keto acid carboxylases of plants (1, 2), the effects of metal ions on the decarboxylation of oxalacetic acid, in the presence and absence of enzyme, were studied. In confirmation of Krebs (3) the decarboxylation was found to be accelerated by a variety of polyvalent cations. It was also observed that the enzyme oxalacetic carboxylase from parsley roots, whic...
