Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in Iran. This research was conducted to investigate the effects of spraying a mixture of amino acids on the physiological and morphological characteristics of tuberose. The experiment was carried out in two successive years (2009 and 2010) using two tuberose cultivars ‘Dezfuli’ and ‘Mahallati’. The experiment was arrange...

Not all proteins have the same nutritional value, since protein quality strongly depends on its amino acid composition and digestibility. The meat of game animals could be a high protein source because of its well-balanced essential amino acids composition. Investigations about biochemical composition of game meat such as wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and beaver ...

The influence of first-pass splanchnic metabolism was investigated by comparing the response of 5 lactating cows to an infusion of an amino acid mixture into the abomasum or a jugular vein over 5 d according to a complete block design. The basal diet and the amino acid infusion provided 71% and 14% of crude protein requirements, respectively. The jugular infusion increased (P = 0.01) milk yield...

chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) is one of the most important medicinal plants in iran. the main objective of this study was to determine the effects of organic nutrients on the yield and oil content of chamomile. the experiment was conducted in the spring of 2010. the treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 tons/ha) and the aminol forte sprays (no spraying or contro...

Introduction. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is grown primarily for its edible tubers, which were first cultivated by native Americans before the arrival of the Europeans. Unlike most tubers, but in common with other members of the Asteraceae, the tubers store fructans instead of starch. Fructans are non-digestible carbohydrates considered functional food ingredients because they...

Nitrogen supply is pivotal for the maintenance of life. Amino acids can be utilized to synthesize both glucose and lipids. The opposite, i.e., production of amino acids from either one of them, is not possible in the absence of other amino acids as donors of nitrogen. The quality of amino acid content in protein has been re-evaluated recently, and the relevance of essential amino acids has been...
