High intake of dietary fiber is claimed to protect against development of colorectal cancer. Barley is a rich source of dietary fiber, and possible immunomodulatory effects of barley polysaccharides might explain a potential protective effect. Dietary fiber was isolated by extraction and enzyme treatment. A mixed-linked β-glucan (WSM-TPX, 96.5% β-glucan, Mw 886 kDa), an arabinoxylan (WUM-BS-LA,...

Broadcast plantings of nonhost cultivars (alfalfa, barley, bean, onion, potato, and wheat) in soil in redwood boxes (4.2 x 30 x 14 cm) infested with Heterodera schachtii reduced the initial nematode populations (P = 0.05). The reduction was greater with sugarbeets, a host, than with all other cropping treatments except onion, bean, and fallow (P = 0.05). After 80 days, when the root growth of a...

Abstract Nowadays consumers are looking for new food products with added nutritional value. Therefore, producers and scientists develop recipes technologies the aim to enrich fibres, vitamins, probiotics. Since naked barley contains high concentration of soluble dietary fibre, including β-glucans, which have stabilising properties, it has a good potential fermented dairy development. The goal c...

High intake of dietary fiber is claimed to protect against development of colorectal cancer. Barley is a rich source of dietary fiber, and possible immunomodulatory effects of barley polysaccharides might explain a potential protective effect. Dietary fiber was isolated by extraction and enzyme treatment. A mixed-linked -glucan (WSM-TPX, 96.5% -glucan, Mw 886 kDa), an arabinoxylan (WUM-BS-LA, 9...

Apparent nutrient digestibilities of yellow-dent corn, low-tannin sorghum, hard red winter wheat, barley, oat groats and wheat middlings were determined near the end of the small intestine and over the total digestive tract of growing pigs. Gross energy digestibilities for corn, sorghum and oat groats were similar; wheat had a slightly lower (P less than .05) digestibility, followed by barley (...

introduction intercropping, the agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time, is an old and commonly used cropping practice which aims to match efficiently crop demands to the available growth resources (agegnehu et al., 2006; dhima et al., 2007). intercropping of chickpea with linseed reduced the chickpea yield by 60.3%, although linseed occupied on...

in order to examine the impact of pure and mixed planting on the production of grasses and also the biological control of weeds an experiment was conducted in the research farm of alashtar city of lorestan province between the years 1391 and 1392. this experiment within the design of complete random blocks (rcbd) with 6 protections which included 100:0 (rouph pea pure planting) 0:100 (pure plan...

Wheat and barley are the main crops in Iran and has multiple uses. Research suggests that subsistence food crops such as wheat and barley has a special place in low-income countries. However, to achieve maximum efficiency for a sustainable agriculture must be able to obtain agricultural inputs such as land. Kerman province is one of the provinces with high production of these products. Accordin...

in order to study of barely and wheat cultivars tolerance to metribuzin, a factorial experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design, with three replications in greenhouse of agricultural research at ferdowsi university of mashhad. treatments included wheat cultivars (backcross roshan, cross arvand, bahar, sepahan, gascosion, sayonez, bam garmsiry, garmsiri, ghods, pishtaz, chamran a...
