AIM The tuber of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Family-Araceae), commonly called suran or jimikand, has medicinal and food value. It is used in ethnomedicinal practices for correction of gastrointestinal disturbances such as constipation and hemorrhoids. The present study evaluated the effect of A. paeoniifolius tuber on gastrointestinal motor functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The tuber was col...

Tuber and root crops virtually exclusively accumulate storage products in the form of carbohydrates. An exception is yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) in which tubers have the capacity to store starch and triacylglycerols (TAG) in roughly equal amounts. This suggests that a tuber crop can efficiently handle accumulation of energy dense oil. From a nutritional as well as economic aspect, it w...

Changes in sugar composition occur continuously plant tissues at different developmental stages. Tuber dormancy induction, stability, and breaking are very critical transitions yam crop production. Prolonged tuber after physiological maturity has constituted a great challenge genetic improvement productivity. In the present study, biochemical profiling of non-structural tubers during was perfor...

a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) inoculants including four strains of azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferum, a. brasilense and pseudomonas fluorescence on dry matter accumulation of late maturing maize(zea mays l.) hybrids, sc704, sc700 and a promising single cross b73×k18. a factorial experiment was conducted in research fie...

Virus-free seed potatoes are generally divided into pre-elite seeds and certified seeds. To study the differences in dry matter accumulation distribution between through a field randomized block two-factor experiment, of four varieties were selected to explore growth characteristics two levels virus-free find way improve potato expansion efficiency. The results showed that process was slower pe...

To assessment effect of concentration and times of disinfection wheat seeds, infected by Aspergillus fungus a research was conducted based on Factorial experiment according randomized complete block design with four replications. The factors included four levels of sodium hypochlorite (2, 4, 6, and 8%) and four times of seed disinfection (2, 5, 7, and 10 minutes). Result of analysis of variance...

this research which aims to survey the relation between tobacco leaf yield and its components is done by using 118 varieties of tobacco in a research farm of guilan tobacco research institute. regarding to five random selections of plants, twenty three traits of each variety were evaluated. correlation between dry matter of leaf yield with plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, l...
