Considering the significance of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cultivation under diverse agro-climatic conditions, present study was done to recognize assorted parental lines utilizing RAPD and ISSR markers lessen environmental effects or test blunders at Rajasthan College Agriculture, MPUA & T, Udaipur, during 2016. In study, primers produced 334 polymorphic band 160 bands. detected more...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L) is one of the best sources vegetable oil because high quality oil. This plant a leading commodity that has potential to be developed because, from an economic point view, it various benefits as food ingredient, raw material industry, materials, and medicines materials for beauty products. Today's sunflower development more diverted marginal lands. One them use co...

After a wound-desiccation stress, plant tissues can secrete products that have specific cytotoxicity against melanoma B16 cells. Healthy plant or animal cells were not susceptible to these products. Secretion of the active product varied with the plant species and the plant organs. The secretion of tubers of yam (Dioscorea cayenensis Lam), cassava (Manihot esculenta), Jerusalem artichoke (Helia...

The significant effect of the addition very small proportions nanofibres and nano-particulates on physical mechanical properties solid materials has been long observed described. electrospun fibres liquid not so widely examined. In this paper, polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), zein nanofibers in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) oil its viscosity was quantified. For a given amount material, trend increasin...

The sexual transfer of genes between taxa possessing different structural karyotypes must involve the passage of genes through a chromosomal sterility barrier. Yet little is known about the effects of structural differences on gene introgression within or adjacent to the rearranged chromosomal fragments or about the patterns of introgression in collinear regions. Here, we employ 197 mapped mole...

A cell suspension culture of sunflower (Helianthus annuus), a producer of immunologically active polysaccharides, was cultivated in a 5-L stirred tank bioreactor, operated in batch mode. After some changes in the internal bioreactor design a stable growth of Helianthus cells was achieved and the accumulated biomass reached 15.2 g/L (only approximately 5% lower compared to the accumulated biomas...

Enhanced Cd concentrations in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain produced on saline soils of central Iran have been recently reported. Because wheat bread is a major dietary component for the Iranian people, practical approaches to decrease Cd concentration in wheat grain were investigated. This study investigated the influence of sunflower-wheat vs. cotton-wheat rotations on extractable Cd and...

INTRODUCTION Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Asteraceae), currently cultivated for its seeds, is the world’s fourth largest oil-seed crop. World seed production was 25.2 million tonnes (t) during 1995/1996 from approximately 50 million ha of cultivated land. In the US, during 1999, sunflower seed production was 1,971,205 t from 1,438,000 ha, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Se...

Under natural photoperiodic conditions protandry in hermaphrodite disc flowers of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is determined by the different elongation rates of the style and filaments. The elongation of the filament and style starts simultaneously after the daily dark period, but the style growth rate is slower. When plants close to anthesis are exposed to continuous white light (WL) a lo...

Microsomal membrane preparations from the developing seeds of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) catalyse the conversion of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and acyl-CoA to triacylglycerol via phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol. The formation of diacylglycerol from phosphatidic acid was Mg2+ dependent and in the presence of EDTA phosphatidic acid accumulated. This property was used to generate large qua...
