A functional explanation for the regulation of grain nitrogen (N) accumulation in cereal by environmental and genetic factors remains elusive. Here, new mechanistic hypotheses of grain N accumulation are proposed and tested for wheat (Triticum aestivum). First, we tested experimentally the hypothesis that grain N accumulation is mostly source regulated. Four contrasting cultivars, in terms of t...

Peas (Pisum sativum) are toxic to some stored-product insects. The repellent effect of fractions of pea seed to stored-product insects was evaluated in multiple-choice tests in which wheat kernels were dusted with fractions rich in either protein, fibre or starch at 0.001 to 10% (wt:wt). There was a negative correlation between pea protein concentration and the number of adults found in grain f...

this study was carried out to determine nutritive value and the effect of amaranthus grain on performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicks. chemical composition of amaranthus grain including dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, crude ash, and gross energy were 91.04, 17.50, 8.40, 2.70, 5.41, percent and 4515 kcal/kg respectively. metabolizable energy content of amaranthus grain ...

Aim. To establish correlation-regression models of dependences grain protein with the duration interphase period "flowering- maturity" and yield in elite numbers breeding nurseries. Methods. Field research was carried out at Institute Irrigated Agriculture National Academy Sciences 2019-2021. The object modern winter wheat varieties Institute; collection samples Western European ecotype that we...

in order to investigate the effect of consumption of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers on harvest indices and some important agronomic traits of triticale (triticosecale wittmack var. javaniloo), a factorial experiment based on the randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in paddy field of rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2010-2012 for two years. th...

To investigate the maternal plane of nutrition and role of Se yeast on foaling variables and passive transfer of IgG, 28 Quarter Horse mares were used in a study with a randomized complete block design. Mares were blocked by expected foaling date and assigned randomly within block to dietary treatments. Dietary treatments were arranged as a 2 x 2 factorial with 2 planes of nutrition, pasture or...
