In this study the nutritional values of three woody leafy vegetables commonly consumed in the south eastern Nigeria were investigated. Fresh edible leaves of Heinsia crinata, Lasienthera africana and Pterocarpus mildbraedii were collected from the wild stands. Proximate analyses were carried out to evaluate their nutritional values vis-à-vis moisture, ash, fibre, protein, lipid, carbohydrate an...

The oxidative stability of refined sunflower oil supplemented with edible wild mushroom, Pleurotus porrigens crude extract, its n-butanol fraction (n-BUT, from liquid-liquid partitioning), and semi-purified sub-fraction (SF) III and SFIV, were tested under accelerated storage conditions compared with BHA and α-tocopherol, by measuring their peroxide value, p-anisidine value, thiobarbituric acid...

increasing water use efficiency is one of the cases to arrivance to the stability production. in order to estimation and comparison of water use efficiency among crop species including corn, safflower, sesame ,and medicinal species including hemp, marsh mallow, white mallow. an experiment was conducted during 2009 growing seasons in the agriculture research station ferdowsi of mashhad. the expe...

reproduction parameters for helicoverpa armigera (hübner) were determined and compared on 13 soybean varieties (dpx, l17, bp, clark, jk, 356, m4, m7, m9, gorgan3, sahar, zane and williams) at 25±1ºc, 65±5% rh over a photoperiod of 16:8 (l:d) hours. reproduction parameters were estimated for individual newly emerged moths, which had spent their immature stages on different soybean varieties. the...

In order to have successful application of genomic selection, reference population and marker density should be chosen properly. This study purpose was to investigate the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values in terms of low (5K), intermediate (50K) and high (777K) densities in the simulated populations, when different scenarios were applied about the reference populations selecting. Af...

the crude methanolic extract of the seeds of celastrus paniculatus along with its organic soluble fractions were tested for their possible antioxidant and anti-alzheirmer (ad) activity. the extracts showed prominent dpph free radical scavenging activity, inhibiting activity of authentic peroxynitrite (onoo-) and inhibition of total reactive oxygen species (ros) generation. in dpph radical scave...

The purpose of this study is to determine the woody species diversity in Sweet chestnut tree, Hazel-tree and Italian cypress ecosystems in the Guilan forests. A lozeng 0.5 ha sample plot was selectively established on each site. In the Sweet chestnut ecosystems , 4 sites were classified, whereas 10 sites of Hazel tree and Italian cypress ecosystems were classified based on species composition. ...
