The consideration of nucleotides and ribonucleic acid (RNA)2 in metabolism has become increasingly imiiportant in cellular biology during the past few years. The commonly occurring nucleotides of -wheat and corn plants have been identified by BergkN-ist (1) and Cherry and Hageman (3), respectively. The latter have shown that the nucleoside diand trip)hosphates in etiolated corn embryos shift to...

BACKGROUND The allergenicity of Ricinus communis L. (castor bean, Euphorbiaceae) is associated with components of its seeds and pollen. Castor bean allergy has been described not only in laboratory workers, but also in personnel working in oil processing mills, fertilizer retail, the upholstery industry and other industrial fields. In the present study, we describe the critical amino acids in t...

Broad bean (Vicia faba) mtDNA contains an open reading frame with a predicted amino acid sequence that is 41% homologous to the ribosomal protein S14 (RPS14) of Escherichia coli, and which is located 1232 ntp upstream from a gene for cytochrome b (cob). A second putative rpS14 gene occurs in broad bean mtDNA, 344 ntp upstream from a gene for ATPase subunit 9 (atp9). However, the atp9-linked rpS...

The prevalence of mycotoxins in animal and poultry feeds under different environmental variations in summer and winter seasons were investigated. One hundred and six samples of feeds were collected (58 samples during summer and 48 during winter seasons)for detection of aflatoxins(Afs) and ochratoxin (OA )contamination. The samples were collected from farms at Beni-Suef governorate in which the ...

This trial was conducted to determine the extent of prececal starch digestibility depending on the botanical origin of starch and on diet characteristics (i.e., composition and feeding pattern). The prececal disappearance of six substrates (oats, barley, corn, horse bean, potato, and wheat) was measured in four cannulated horses fed (as-fed basis) 11.8 g/kg BW of a high-fiber (HF) or high-starc...

Polysaccharide biopolymers have been shown to be alternatives established dust suppressants. This study investigates the potential of 14 polysaccharides and proteins from diverse botanical (corn, pea, wheat, cellulose, potato, fava bean) animal (pig, chicken, cow) sources as suppressants on two mine soils (medium-grained sand fine-grained silica sand). Results laboratory tests demonstrate that ...

One solution to overcome the problem of malnutrition in Indonesia is provide nutritional interventions by adding micronutrient supplementation food or beverages. This study aims develop functional drinks from local (Moringa leaves, tolo beans, and corn) as additional ingredients for children aged 2-5 years. The first stage research carried out bean germination, while second determined formulati...
