Effects of foliar application of solutions of ascorbic acid, glycine betaine, salicylic acid on the yield and seed germination of soybean in South Eastern Europe conditions
(Lithuanian Research Centre Agriculture & Forestry, Kedainiu R, 2020)
The aim of the research was to test the effect of foliar-applied solutions of ascorbic acid (AsA), glycine betaine (GB), salicylic acid (SA) and water as a second control on the yield and seed germination of the soybean ...
Oleic acid variation and marker-assisted detection of Pervenets mutation in high- and low-oleic sunflower cross
(Brazilian Soc Plant Breeding, Vicosa-Mg, 2017)
High-oleic sunflower oil is in high demand on the market due to its heart-healthy properties and richness in monounsaturated fatty acids that makes it more stable in processing than standard sunflower oil. Consequently, ...
Profile of phenolic compounds in Trifolium pratense L. extracts at different growth stages and their biological activities
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2017)
Although Trifolium pratense (Red Clover) is considered to be one of the leading crops for livestock grazing, it could also be used as a potential source of bioactive compounds in phytopharmacy. The aim of this study was ...
Molecular characterization of red clover genotypes utilizing microsatellite markers
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Chillan, 2017)
Genetic resources of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) are the basis for the improvement of this important forage legume. The objective of this study was microsatellite characterization of the accessions from the collection ...
Salt-induced changes in the antioxidant system and viability of oilseed rape
(Lithuanian Research Centre Agriculture & Forestry, Kedainiu R, 2017)
This work was aimed to investigate the effect of salt (NaCl) stress on three oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivars: 'Banacanka', 'Jasna' and 'Kata'. The following parameters were determined: antioxidant enzymes ...
Interrelationships between grain nitrogen content and other indicators of nitrogen accumulation and utilization efficiency in wheat plants
(Inst Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Chillan, 2012)
The topic of N wheat nutrition was prevalent during the last decades of the 20th century for many reasons such as energy crises, profitability of small grain production, and ecosystem protection and preservation. The ...
Genetic and Genomic Tools in Sunflower Breeding for Broomrape Resistance
(Basel : MDPI, 2020)
Broomrape is a root parasitic plant causing yield losses in sunflower production. Since sunflower is an important oil crop, the development of broomrape-resistant hybrids is the prime breeding objective. Using conventional ...
Molecular and phenotypic characterisation of diverse temperate maize inbred lines in Southeast Europe
(Lithuanian Research Centre Agriculture & Forestry, Kedainiu R, 2017)
Maize (Zea mays L.) displays large genetic diversity created during the history of introduction from its Mexican centre of origin to other parts of the world and adaptation to a range of diverse environments. Despite such ...
Sunflower Genetics from Ancestors to Modern Hybrids-A Review
(Basel : MDPI, 2018)
Domestication and the first steps of sunflower breeding date back more than 4000 years. As an interesting crop to humans, sunflower underwent significant changes in the past to finally find its place as one of the most ...
Ionic liquids as potentially new antifungal agents against Alternaria species
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2020)
The fungal genus Alternaria Nees 1816 includes the most prevalent pathogenic species that can cause crop diseases such as blight, black spot, and dark leaf spot. In accordance with the aim of developing modern sustainable ...
