Due to the present water shortage and environmental problems associated with industrial effluent, investigation of novel treatment technologies is an essential approach. Being a highly toxic chemical of asphyxiating characteristics, cyanide is seen as a major environmental pollutant in a wide range of industrial effluents. The present study aimed to address the adsorption and photocatalytic deg...

Rats fed a semipurified diet supplemented with 3% (w/w) safflower oil [Saf, n-3 fatty acid deficient, high linoleic acid (18:2n-6)] through two generations exhibit decreased correct response ratios in a brightness-discrimination learning test compared with rats fed 3% perilla oil [Per, high alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3)]. This is associated with a decreased DHA (22:6n-3)-to-arachidonic acid (2...

Abstract The article presents the results of a study non-traditional oilseeds family Brassicaceae (camelina, crambe) and Asteraceae (safflower, ramtil) in Middle Volga region. crop productivity was studied, which high varied range 1.35–2.77 t/ha. oil content seeds ranged from 28.3 % safflower to 43.1 crambe. fatty acid composition these crops is used for various applications. A erucic 59.3 note...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate reproductive responses to supplemental high-linoleate safflower seeds in postpartum beef cows. In Exp. 1, 18 primiparous, crossbred beef cows (411 +/- 24.3 kg of BW) were fed Foxtail millet hay starting 1 d postpartum at 1.68% of BW (DM basis) and a low-fat control (control: 63.7% cracked corn, 33.4% safflower seed meal, and 2.9% liquid molasses; DM ba...

Dietary lipids can suppress methane emission from ruminants, but effects are variable. Especially the role of bacteria, archaea, fungi and protozoa in mediating the lipid effects is unclear. In the present in vitro study, archaea, fungi and protozoa were selectively inhibited by specific agents. This was fully or almost fully successful for fungi and protozoa as well as archaeal activity as det...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a highly adaptable but underutilized oilseed crop capable of growing in marginal environments, with crucial agronomical, commercial, and industrial uses. Considerable research still needed to develop commercially relevant varieties, requiring effective, high-throughput digital phenotyping identify key selection traits. In this study, field trials comprisin...
