The development of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is highly dependent on temperature due to vernalization requirements, which often causes delay and unevenness in maturity during months with warm temperatures. Integrating quantitative genetic analyses with phenology modeling was suggested to accelerate breeding strategies toward wide-adaptation cauliflower. The present study aims...

Cholesterol-lowering potential of foods and food fractions have been evaluated by determining ☆ The mention of are endorsed or recom other firms or similar ⁎ Corresponding a E-mail address: ts 0271-5317/$ – see fro doi:10.1016/j.nutres.2 their bile acid–binding potential. Reducing bile acid recirculation lowers cholesterol by reducing fat absorption and use of cholesterol to synthesize bile aci...

Higher plants share with animals a responsiveness to the Ca(2+) mobilizing agents inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). In this study, by using a vesicular (45)Ca(2+) flux assay, we demonstrate that microsomal vesicles from red beet and cauliflower also respond to nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a Ca(2+)-releasing molecule recently describe...

Compact, medium size, white to creamy cauliflower curds were packed into different packaging techniques like i. without (control); ii. in low density polyethylene (LDPE) bag with 1% perforation; iii. wrapped (PE) cling film and iv. newspaper (locally used). Half of each treatment was kept at (6±1°C 50±5% RH) the other half ambient conditions (25±3°C 60±5% RH). LDPE or PE has a great effect reta...


 With the use of integrated nutrient management, cauliflower growth and yield can be boosted. Due to their complementing effects, ideal combination different organic inorganic sources nutrients may significantly boost yield. The experiment consisted 13 treatments viz. T1= N120P60K100S20 kg/ha (Recommended dose NPKS as control), T2= + CD (5 t/ha), T3= VC (4 T4= MSC T5= N120P60K100S20B0.6Mo...

A challenging task in urban or suburban agriculture is the sustainability of soil health when utilizing city wastewater, its dilutes, for growing crops. two-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate comparative vegetable transfer factors (VTF) four effluent-irrigated crops (brinjal, spinach, cauliflower, and lettuce) grown on six study sites (1 acre each), equally divided into two texture...

Two cases of Squamous cell carcinoma are recorded in zebu cattle of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Lesions showed different clinical aspects Papule and cauliflower like growths placed at level of nictinating membrane of eye and interdigital spaces of hind limb respectively. Cytology and histopathological examination revealed well and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas respectively.

Cauliflower ear is a serious deformity of the auricle induced by single or repeated injury to the external ear. Few papers deal with surgical techniques for correcting this deformity. We describe the use of ipsilateral excess cartilage to restore the helical rim.

The oxidation of malate, citrate, and alpha-ketoglutarate by cauliflower (Brassica oleacea L.) bud mitochondria was inhibited by rotenone. This inhibition was relieved upon addition of NAD(+) to the medium, and ADP/O values were lowered to less than 2 when both rotenone and NAD(+) were present. Dinitrophenol did not affect the relief of rotenone inhibition by exogenous NAD(+).
