In order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from Cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. Treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...

Sulphur-containing amino acids (i.e. Cysteine (Cys) and methionine (Met)) constitute an important proportion of the soil organic sulphur. However, detailed information regarding microbial transformation Cys Met at a molecular level remain poorly characterized. To trace fate carbon (C) sulphur (S) derived from in agricultural grassland soil, a14C 35S dual-isotopic labelling approach was adopted....

Sulphur is one of the emerging plant nutrients, required for pulse crops. After nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, it forth key nutrient nutrition. It taken up by plants in form sulphates from soil. The factors that are responsible wide spread deficiency sulphur excess use high analysis fertilizers, inadequate crop residue, yielding varieties crops its removal plays a pivotal role overall pro...

A broad screening protocol, covering the most general phytochemical groups of compounds, was developed on the basis of high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). A total of six TLC systems, comprising three derivatization reagents, two stationary phases and two mobile phases, were included. The screening method was applied for the identification of biomarkers in the chickpea plant expo...

securigera securidaca (l.) degen & dorfl grows in different parts of iran. the seeds of the species are used in iranian folk medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. many studies have established hypoglycemic effects of amino acids and in the present investigation, amino acids of securigera securidaca seeds have been evaluated. the ground seeds were extracted using petroleum ether, hot ethanol a...

Introduction. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is grown primarily for its edible tubers, which were first cultivated by native Americans before the arrival of the Europeans. Unlike most tubers, but in common with other members of the Asteraceae, the tubers store fructans instead of starch. Fructans are non-digestible carbohydrates considered functional food ingredients because they...

Food legumes are considered as the major source of dietary proteins among the plant species. Protein and amino acid contents were evaluated in a wide sample of both wild and cultivated genotypes of Phaseolus species, with a view to investigate possibilities of genetic improvement in seed nutritional quality. Results indicate a variation in relation with taxa, biological status within species (s...

As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Change in enzymes activities of N assimilation (NR, NiR and GS), residual nitrate (NO3-), soluble protein content, and yield of spinach and lettuce plants were investigated under replacing 20% nitrate-N in the nutrient solution by L-glycine and blood meal amino acids. Seeds of the mention...

objective(s) motility plays a major role in pathogenicity of helicobacter pylori, yet there is  scarce data regarding its chemotactic behaviour. the present study was designed to investigate the chemotactic responses of local isolates of h. pylori towards various sugars, amino acids, as well as some other chemical substances. materials and methods chemotaxis was assayed by a modified adler’s me...
