An, L.V., 2004. Sweet potato leaves for growing pigs: Biomass yield, digestion and nutritive value. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249, ISBN 91-576-6750-0 The aim of the present studies was to evaluate the potential of using sweet potato leaves (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) as a protein source in diets for growing pigs. A number of sweet potato varieties were evaluated with respect to the bioma...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and the polyphenolic content of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. leaves and fruits. The leaves are an important source of flavonoids (35.10 ± 1.23 mg RE/g plant material). Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the polyphenolic compounds were achieved using a HPLC-UV-MS method. The main flavonoid from the l...

in order to study the effect of different nitrogen fertilizer rates and source-sink limitation treatments on yield and yield component of contrast rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment was carried out in the rice research institute of iran-deputy of mazandaran (amol) during 2006. a split split experiment in the basis of randomized complete block design with 3 replications and 3 f...

The induction of systemic responses in plants is associated with the connectivity between damaged and undamaged leaves, as determined by vascular architecture. Despite the widespread appreciation for studying variation in induced plant defense, few studies have characterized spatial variability of induction in the model species, Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we show that plant architecture generat...

in order to study the role of photosynthetic tissues on grain filling and remobilization of stem reserves under terminal drought, a pot experiment as semi-field was conducted as two-factor factorial in complete randomized design with three replicates at research farm of agriculture college of vali – e – asr university of rafsanjan during january to june 2012 . first factor was source strength r...

Background: Pergularia tomentosa L. has several traditional uses and biological activities which need to be more investigated. Objective: In this study, some ecological and phytochemical properties of Pergularia tomentosa were assessed. The flavonoids and cardenolides in the aqueous extract of leaves were identified with LCMS techniques. Methods: Some quantity characteristics of P. tomentosa...
