in recent decades, as the result of industrial life, consuming fried and fast foods have increased significantly. excessive use of fat, especially saturated fats and trans fatty acids is one of the important factors that increases heart diseases, weight gain, and cancers. therefore, using effective methods for decreasing fat absorption not only retains desirable features but also seems essentia...

Genotype x environment interaction was evaluated under eight environments during lentil growing season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 for grain yield and their component characters of twenty one promising genotypes selected from previous trial of lentil. The variances estimated due genotype, environment and genotype x environment interaction were found to be different significantly for all the characte...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a self-pollinating diploid (2n=2x=14) species belonging to the Fabaceae family. It one of oldest crops known, with 8,000 9,000 years history and it among earliest domesticates from Near East Fertile Crescent. The seeds have high nutritional value. This crop an interesting substitute wheat in cereal rotations but its importance low due lack suitable varieties lo...

Lentil yield is very poor in rainfed areas of pothwar due to non-availability improved/recommended lentil varieties compatible some specific rhizobial inoculants along the site-specific production technology. Therefore, study effect inoculating with different Rhizobium strains on and quality, pot experiments were conducted greenhouse University Research Farm, Koont, Chakwal Road, Rawalpindi dur...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is an important grain legume crop. Among all the biotic factors, weed infestation being adverse impact on growth, yield, nutrient uptake and economics due to lentil short stature, low branching, lack of protective canopy it’s unable smother weeds. Although, applying pre emergence herbicides, in many situation early control herbicides are not that much efficient f...

Wheat pasta has a compact structure built by a gluten network entrapping starch granules resulting in a low glycemic index, but is nevertheless unsuitable for gluten-intolerant people. High protein gluten-free legume flours, rich in fibers, resistant starch and minerals are thus a good alternative for gluten-free pasta production. In this study, gluten-free pasta was produced exclusively from f...

An antagonism between cytokinins and growth inhibitors has been shown in germination (4, 5, 9, 12). Cytokinin-inhibitor antagonism has also been observed at the level of enzyme synthesis (6, 13). Based on a number of studies in which exogenous hormones were used to control germination, it has been hypothesized that in the regulation of germination, gibberellin is the primary stimulus and that t...
