Tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. var. Russet Burbank, Kennebec, and Targhee were stored at 95% relative humidity and at 1.7, 4.4, 5.8, 7.2 or 10 C. Rates of O(2) consumption were measured periodically by removing individual tubers from storage, excising discs of pith parenchyma tissue, and incubating the discs in a Gilson respirometer at 30 C. With all three varieties, data suggest a greater invo...

Physicochemical, morphological, rheological characteristics and finite element modelling of wheat flour, rice starch gluten were studied in this work. The physicochemical analysis flour exhibited almost similar to without present. Rice contained higher value carbohydrate fibres compared starch. Likewise, interacted strongly with water oil due absorption, solubility absorption indices SEM images...

Taro tuber, which has the scientific name of Colocasia esculenta, is grown in Vietnam. The nutritional compositions taro tuber are mostly starch, vitamin, protein, lipid, cellulose, and mineral. purpose this study was to determine changes physicomechanical, nutritional, sensory indicators tubers at different harvest times. were determined three harvesting stages 280, 300, 320 days. As a result,...

Adenine nucleotides are of general importance for many aspects of cell function, but their role in the regulation of biosynthetic processes is still unclear. It was previously reported that decreased expression of plastidial adenylate kinase, catalysing the interconversion of ATP and AMP to ADP, leads to increased adenylate pools and starch content in transgenic potato tubers. However, the unde...

Phytic acid is a storage form of phosphorus which is found in plant seeds and in many roots and tubers (1). Phytic acid has long been recognized as an antinutrient for its ability to bind to, precipitate and decrease the availability of diand trivalent cationic minerals (2). The reduced availability of minerals will prove disadvantageous, as minerals play a major role in many enzyme systems and...

In the conditions of Vologda Region on sod-podzolic soil, calculated fertilization systems average for 2015 - 2018 increased yield potato tubers by 41 66% compared to minimum dose fertilizers. The maximum starch content 12.8% was observed when using an organomineral fertilizer system. research shows a direct linear relationship between “crude” protein and tubers.

Preservation methods were evaluated forjerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus L.) to facilitate the back-up of field collections. In vitro plant cultures were established from field-harvested tubers for nine jerusalem artichoke cultivars obtained from the Plant Gene Resources of Canada, Saskatoon Research Center, Saskatoon, Canada. Most cultivars could be maintained at 5 °C or under 25°C gr...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In temperate woody perennials, flower bud development is halted during the winter, when the buds enter dormancy. This dormant period is a prerequisite for adequate flowering, is genetically regulated, and plays a clear role in possibly adapting species and cultivars to climatic areas. However, information on the biological events underpinning dormancy is lacking. Stamen deve...
