Twenty multiparous Holstein cows in midlactation grazed pastures of 4 forage mixtures in a 12-wk study repeated during 2 grazing seasons to determine if forage mixture complexity affected intake and productivity of lactating dairy cows. The forage mixtures were 1) orchardgrass plus white clover [2 species (SP)]; 2) orchardgrass, white clover, and chicory (3SP); 3) orchardgrass, tall fescue, per...

In chicory taproot, the inulin-type fructans serve as carbohydrate reserve. Inulin metabolism is mediated by fructan active enzymes (FAZYs): sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST; fructan synthesis), fructan:fructan-1-fructosyltransferase (1-FFT; fructan synthesis and degradation), and fructan 1-exohydrolases (1-FEH1/2a/2b; fructan degradation). In developing taproot, fructan synthesis ...

We constructed strains of Erwinia chrysanthemi EC16 with multiple mutations involving three virulence systems in this bacterium, namely pel (coding for the major pectate lyases pelABCE), hrp (hypersensitive response and pathogenicity), and sap (sensitivity to antimicrobial peptides). The relative effects on virulence of those mutations have been analyzed on potato tubers and chicory leaves. In ...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effect of vege-powder (VP), mainly consisted of chicory, broccoli, and whole grains, on bowel habit improvement and constipation alleviation. METHODS Using the Roman standard II, 96 male and female subjects in their twenties with constipation symptoms were divided into a control group or VP group. Subjects in a control group were supplied with rice flakes-p...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the fresh mass scarlet eggplant (kg/pl) and number leaves chicory (nºf/pl) in relation spacing used by farmers region for both crops. experiment evaluated these crops under intercropping cultivation system, varying rows between as well harvests (cycle each crop), monocropping systems. treatments were T1= 0.7x1.1 m (monocropping); T2= intercropped e...

An experiment was conducted to explore the changes of germination rate, protein and vitamin C content in seeds chlorophyll seedlings under different irradiation time intensity. Experiments showed that plasma treatment chicory promoted biological bitter 100-300W, 5-15s, rate relatively higher 200W conditions, 300W conditions. Bangladesh J.
