Antioxidant activity, phenolic profile, chlorophyll and mineral matter content of corn silk (Zea mays L): Comparison with medicinal herbs
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2016)
Yellow, green, pinky and purple colored corn silk were harvested 5 and 25 days after emergence and compared with six medicinal herbs for total phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, chlorophylls, as well ...
Diminishing herbicide stress in maize inbred lines by application of foliar fertiliser
(Scibulcom Ltd, Sofia, 2017)
Dominance of grass weeds in maize crop occurs due to a lack of selective herbicides for their control. With sulphonylurea herbicides this problem became under control, but a problem with selectivity was developed, particularly ...
Response of wheat plants under post-anthesis stress induced by defoliation: II. Contribution of peduncle morpho-anatomical traits and carbon reserves to grain yield
(Cambridge Univ Press, New York, 2017)
Assimilated carbon during vegetative and early reproductive growth in wheat is temporarily stored in stem internodes and leaf sheaths (LSs), and can later be remobilized and transported to developing grain. The present ...
Enhancement of seed germination in three grass species using chemical and temperature treatments
(Range Management Soc India, Jhansi, 2015)
Seeds of three forage plant species, cocksfoot, tall fescue and perennial ryegrass with good amount of dormancy were chemically treated (25%, 50%, 75% and 98% H2SO4) for different durations and exposed to different ...
Variability and Correlation Between the Seed Yield, Seed Yield Components and Quality of Alfalfa Seed
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, Berlin, 2010)
Seed yield and seed yield components (stem height, number of stems per m(2), panicle branches) and quality of alfalfa seed (germination and mean seed weight), were studied for 3 years of research. Three cultivars of alfalfa ...
The polypeptide composition, structural properties and antioxidant capacity of gluten proteins of diverse bread and durum wheat varieties, and their relationship to the rheological performance of dough
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2015)
The aim of this study was to compare five bread and five durum wheat genotypes for gliadins and glutenins profiles, the concentration of free sulphhydryl groups and disulphide bonds, antioxidant capacity of gluten proteins ...
Wheat seedlings growth response to water deficiency and how it correlates with adult plant tolerance to drought
(Cambridge Univ Press, New York, 2015)
Improving resistance to water and osmotic stresses at the seedling stage is becoming a much more important target for wheat breeders due to an increase in the frequency and severity of drought occurrences at the crop ...
Relationships of mycobiota on rachides and kernels of wheat
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2012)
The frequency and incidence of fungi, as well as their interdependence, on rachis and grain of 14 wheat cultivars grown under 19 different agroecological conditions in Serbia, were studied. Out of the 23 identified fungal ...
Effect of long term crop rotation and fertiliser application on maize productivity
(Soc Field Crop Sci, Bornova, 2013)
The effect of crop rotation and the application of fertilisers on maize yield were investigated in a 12-year study (1998-2009) on the chernozem soil type at Zemun Polje, Serbia. The treatments included four cropping systems: ...
Stimulative influence of germination and growth of maize seedlings originating from aged seeds by 2,4-D potencies
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Background: The 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) is using as a growth regulator in tissue culture media. Maize seeds have poor ability to maintain germination rate in the long term. Objective: To examine the possible ...
