One of the important areas modern science is conservation biodiversity, including plant diversity, which occurs through introduction. Among introducers are species genus Amaranthus L., promising for use in many sectors economy. Species well known crop production, and fodder becoming more widespread as food, medicinal, technical plants. Due to high productive potential sagebrush plants multifunc...

High resolution chlorophyll a fluorescence imaging was used to compare the photosynthetic efficiency of PSII electron transport (estimated by Fq'/Fm') in guard cell chloroplasts and the underlying mesophyll in intact leaves of six different species: Commelina communis, Vicia faba, Amaranthus caudatus, Polypodium vulgare, Nicotiana tabacum, and Tradescantia albifora. While photosynthetic efficie...

Amino acid content before and after heat treatment was assessed in grain of six selected amaranth varieties and four species: Amaranthus cruentus, A. hypochondriacus, A. caudatus and A. hybridus, cultivated in the Czech Republic. High content of Lys and Arg was detected in both heat treated and untreated grains, as well as satisfactory content of Cys and lower levels of Met, Val, Ile and Leu. T...

This study aimed to determine the variability properties of four major types Amaranthus species in protein and amino acids content leaves flowers. Obtained results by ion exchange chromatography our have shown high values for essential lysine methionine. In leaf, ranged from 3.9 (A. caudatus) 7.0 cruentus; A. moleros), flowers 4.2 6.7 molleros). The methionine 3.1 7.4 mantegazzianus) leaf flowe...

Integrated micro sensors, enabled by the advancement in the semiconductor microfabrication technology and MEMS (Micro Electromechanical Systems), have been under dynamic development for the past two decades. While integrated sensors hold great promises, the development of such sensors incurs formidably high cost (millions of dollars) and long development cycles (on the order of years). A fundam...

Grain Amaranth is a very versatile pseudo-cereal crop and grown in a wide range of agro-climatic conditions (temperature 20-40oC, elevation 500-2500m amsl and rainfall 800 mm to 1500 mm). The genus Amaranthus consists of approximately 60 species out of which about 18 species are occurring in India. There are three major grain producing Amaranthus species, A. caudatus, A. cruentus and A. hypocho...

The genetic modification 'ac2' is based on the insertion and expression of ac2 gene, originally found in seeds of amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus), into the genome of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). The purpose of the present study is to develop a PCR method for the detection of the mentioned genetically modified potatoes in various foodstuffs. The method was used to test twenty different potato-ba...

Through "Bioethics with a Human Face" Carl Schneider crafts a lens to view in sharp and clear focus the nature of the bioethics' debate, the central linchpin of patient autonomy in these discussions, and the limits encountered when intellectual debates confront empirical reality in the world of medical decision-making.' As the end point to his arguments, Professor Schneider asserts that social,...
