Meadowfoam ( Limnanthes alba ) is an oilseed crop grown in western Oregon. After extraction of the oil from the seeds, the remaining seed meal contains 2-4% of the glucosinolate glucolimnanthin. This study investigated the effect of fermentation of seed meal on its chemical composition and the effect of the altered composition on downy brome ( Bromus tectorum ) coleoptile emergence. Incubation ...

abstract: mustard is a natural multi-functional additive with strong hot flavor. in this research, powdered yellow mustard (sinapis alba) was heated by 21 different thermal processes, statistically designed by response surface methodology to evaluate the effects of combinations of heating media (hot air, hot water and steam) and heating time (0-20 min) on residual myrosinase activity, the minim...

Previous studies have shown that certain specific leaf mRNAs exhibit a diurnal rhythmicity in their quantity in higher plants. To determine whether this situation is restricted to a few mRNAs, or affects a large number, we have used in vitro translation and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to analyze the mRNA complement in leaves of Sinapis alba at different times during an 8-...

From a rRNA repeating unit (9.1 kbp) of mustard we have The DNA was sequenced according to the method of Maxam sequenced the first internal transcribed spacer, the 5.8S rRNA and Gilbert gene, and the second internal transcribed spacer [1]. Here, we present the nucleotide sequence of a 5500 bp fragment containing the 3 ' end terminus of the 25S gene (486 bp), the intergenic spacer REFERENCES (32...
