The solvent extracted vegetable seed oils of Cucurbitaceae family viz. Bitter gourd (Momordica charentia), Small bitter gourd (Momordica dioica), Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siscraria) and Ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula) were evaluated as grain protectant against callosobruchus chinensis on the stored legume-pulse grains. All the vegetable seed oils were found effective as legume-pulse grain protect...

In the present communication, a comparative HPLC analysis of water-soluble vitamins (B-group) was carried out in in vitro and ex vitro germinated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds. Quantitative analysis of ex vitro and in vitro germinated seedlings showed significant differences in vitamin contents. Maximum amount with a linear increase in B1 (thiamine HCl), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (nicotinam...

Dehydration affects almost all the physiological processes including those that result in the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which in turn elicits a highly conserved signaling, the unfolded protein response (UPR). We investigated the dehydration-responsive membrane-associated proteome of a legume, chickpea, by 2-DE coupled with mass spectrometry. A total o...

Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster are the best tools to measure degree of divergence suggest parents for future crop improvement programmes. A study was done using 64 chickpea genotypes including desi kabuli types provided from RARS, Nandyal. Research conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla during Rabi 2021-22 in 8×8 square lattice design. Data collected 13 quantitat...

Paneer is the soft cheese variety made from coagulation of milk with help acid. This study aimed to make vegan paneer used Cicer arietinum as it one good sources all essential nutrients. contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, dietfiberibre, beta carotene, B- complex vitamins, and minerals. The was formulated in different variations by incorporating 75%, 50%, 25% into cow’s milk. On sensory evalu...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Live imaging methods have become extremely important for the exploration of biological processes. In particular, non-invasive measurement techniques are key to unravelling organism-environment interactions in close-to-natural set-ups, e.g. in the highly heterogeneous and difficult-to-probe environment of plant roots: the rhizosphere. pH and CO2 concentration are the main dri...
