Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L. is a herbaceous perennial plant that could be drought tolerant once established after the first year. To evaluate the effects of water stress on growth parametersand forage quality of this plant, a field experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Isfahan, Iran during 2013-2015. Treatments wer...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of an artichoke extract on broiler production performance traits by comparing the results of two inclusion rates in broiler diets from 0 to 21 days of age. A total of 2880 day-old male broiler chicks was randomly assigned to 36 floor-pens and raised from 1 to 42 days of age. The CONTROL group received a comsoya meal basal diet. In the treatment diet...

Globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is a perennial rosette plant grown throughout the world for its large, fleshy heads [1-3]. Most of its culture (about 90%) is concentrated in the countries around the Mediterranean Basin mainly in Italy (50 000 ha), Spain (17000 ha) and France (10 000 ha) [4]. Egypt has the potential to develop an excellent export industry in artichoke. The production areas ...

This study looked at the best conditions for extracting bioactive compounds from globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus), such as total phenolics, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, and inulin. The obtained results showed that optimum extraction of phenolics flavonoids receptacle bracts artichoke, when applying maceration room temperature, with 70% methanol 4 h. Genstin was major phenolic co...

Micropropagation techniques have been widely applied in globe artichoke (C. cardunculus L. var. scolymus), however, efficient protocols for the establishment of in vitro callogenesis and organogenesis, a pre-requisite for Agrobacteriummediated genetic transformation, have not been set up so far. We developed an efficient protocol for callus induction from leaf explants of three globe artichoke ...
