Yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) has been grown as an important source of condiment for the spice trade in the world. It is an obligate outcrossing species due to its sporophytic self-incompatibility (SI). To utilize heterosis for yield potential, we have attempted to develop elite component inbred lines for producing high-yielding synthetic varieties for this crop. The open-pollinated variety ...

Mustard bran is enriched with bioactive phenolic compounds and glucosinolates, yet it underutilized as a low-value processing by-product. Here, we investigate the effects of solid-state fermentation (SSF) using various food-grade microorganisms (Aspergillus spp., Rhizopus Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on phytochemical composition antioxidant activities oriental mustard yellow bra...

Previous studies showed that the yellow seed color gene of a yellow mustard was located on the A09 chromosome. In this study, the sequences of the molecular markers linked to the yellow seed color gene were analyzed, the gene was primarily mapped to an interval of 23.304 to 29.402M. Twenty genes and eight markers' sequences in this region were selected to design the IP and SCAR primers. These p...

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of organic sources fertilizers on yield and parameters five coffee (Coffea arabica) genotypes at Gulmi district in 2015 2021. Five different source manures (mustard cake @ 2 kg/plant, poultry manure 2.5 vermi compost 3 goat 4 kg/plant FYM/cattle 5 kg/plant) applied (Chhetradip Local, Selection-10, Syangja Special Yellow Cattura). Field laid...

In the study, we cultivated basil, beet, and mustard microgreens under different lighting treatments from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) evaluated contents of mineral nutrients. Microgreens grew blue 447, red 638 665, far-red 731 nm LEDs, or same spectrum but with partial substitution green 520 (BRG), yellow 595 (BRY), orange 622 (BRO) LEDs (16 h photoperiod; total photon flux density 300 μmol m ...

Introduction Lutein is a carotenoid that can be found in dark green and yellow vegetables, fruits and egg yolk. Lutein, like other carotenoids, is an antioxidant. Sources Lutein and a close chemical zeaxanthin are xanthophyll carotenoids found in a wide variety of plant foods, especially dark green leafy vegetables, such as kale, spinach, turnip greens, and collards. Their concentrations in the...

This study identified the most effective methods for protecting sunflowers from weeds through treatment of crops with herbicides Euro Lightning, Lightning Plus and Express. These options provided substantial protection such as cursed thistle, field bindweed, yellow bristle grass, mustard, frost blite redroot pigweed. In fight against ragweed, excellent action herbicide Express good results. Var...

Development of yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) with superior quality traits (low erucic and linolenic acid contents, and low glucosinolate content) can make this species as a potential oilseed crop. We have recently isolated three inbred lines Y1127, Y514 and Y1035 with low (3.8%), medium (12.3%) and high (20.8%) linolenic acid (C18∶3) content, respectively, in this species. Inheritance studie...

The tillage-based winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-summer fallow (WW-SF) cropping system has dominated dryland farming in the Pacific Northwest USA for 125 years. We conducted a large-scale multidisciplinary 8-year study of annual (i.e., no summer fallow) no-till cropping systems as an alternative to WW-SF. Soft white and hard white classes of winter and spring wheat, spring barley (Hordeum ...
