Cuphea (Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. × C. lanceolata W.T. Aiton; PSR23) is a potential new oilseed crop. Its oil is high in medium-chain fatty acids that are suitable for detergent/cleaner applications and also for cosmetics. The objective of this study was to determine the critical temperatures for cuphea seed germination. To determine the base, maximum, and optimum temperatures for seed germination, mature cuphea seeds were harvested from plants grown at Prosper, ND, in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Seeds were germinated on a temperature-gradient bar varying between 5 and 35 °C. Cumulative germination was calculated for each temperature treatment. Base temperature (Tb) and optimum temperature (To) were estimated from the third-order polynomial temperature-response functions for each year. In addition, germination rate per day was used in a linear model to estimate the base temperature below which germination rate was equal to zero (Tb), and the maximum temperature above which germination was equal to zero (Tm). The optimum temperature (To) was calculated as the intercept of sub-optimal and supra-optimal temperature-response functions. Through the third-order polynomial temperature-response functions and the sub-optimal/super-optimal intercept approaches, we were able to generate six estimates for each critical value. Estimates of the base temperature for cuphea seed germination ranged between 3.3 and 11 °C, with the most reliable estimates between 6 and 10 °C, similar to many warm-season crops such as corn (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). The optimum temperature for cuphea seed germination ranged between 18.5 and 24 °C with a mean value of 21 °C. The maximum temperature for seed germination ranged 33–38 °C. On this basis, a cuphea planting date after 20 May is recommended for east-central North Dakota.  相似文献

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is a potential alternative crop being developed for fiber production. Because planting area varies dramatically from year to year, seed supplies may greatly exceed use so that the excess seed must be stored for one to several years. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of seed storage duration at 10 °C on germination, vigor, emergence, and yield. Replicated trials were established at Starkville, MS in 1999 and 2000 to evaluate field emergence and biomass yield of kenaf seed from five ‘Everglades 41’ (‘E41’) harvest year seed lots stored at 10 °C in ambient relative humidity for up to 4 years. Germination of these same seed lots under standard (20–30 °C) and cool (20 °C) temperatures, and seed vigor was evaluated over time. Field emergence was the same for the different seed storage durations up to 4 years, but was directly affected by drought conditions for each planted year. Biomass yields ranged from 12.39 to 14.57 Mg ha−1 in 1999 and 16.82 to 18.47 Mg ha−1 in 2000, but were not different between storage durations. Seed germination remained greater than 80% regardless of storage duration. Electrolyte leakage, based on conductivity, was 38–50% less with freshly harvested seed than seed stored for 4 years at 10 °C. However, neither the conductivity nor accelerated aging test were reliable predictors of field emergence. Kenaf seed stored up to 4 years at 10 °C retained germination rates acceptable for commercial use. Neither field emergence nor biomass yield was affected by seed storage duration.  相似文献

This investigation determined the functional properties of protein in Lesquerella fendleri seed and press cake from oil processing. L. fendleri seeds were heat-treated at 82 °C (180 °F) during 120 min residence time in the seed conditioner, and then screw-pressed to extract the oil. Unprocessed ground, defatted lesquerella seeds and press cakes were analyzed for proximate composition and protein functional properties. Protein from unprocessed lesquerella seed showed the greatest solubility (≥60%) at pH 2 and 10 and was least soluble (25%) at pH 5.5–7. Unprocessed lesquerella protein also had high surface hydrophobicity index (So), as well as, excellent foaming capacity and stability, emulsifying properties, and water-holding capacity (WHC) at pH 7. Protein solubility profile of the press cake showed up to 50% reduction in soluble proteins at nearly all pH levels, indicating heat denaturation during cooking and screw-pressing. Foaming capacity of the press cake protein decreased slightly, but foam stability was completely lost. Press cake protein also had markedly reduced values for So, emulsifying properties and WHC, further confirming lesquerella protein’s sensitivity to heat treatment.  相似文献

Lesquerella is a developing hydroxy oilseed crop suitable for rotation in the arid Southwestern United States. The hydroxy oil of lesquerella makes it suitable for esterification into triglyceride estolides. The estolide functionality imparts unique physical properties that make this class of materials suitable for functional fluid applications. Lesquerella and castor hydroxy triglycerides were converted to their corresponding estolides by reacting the oils with saturated fatty acids (C2–C18) in the presence of a tin 2-ethylhexanoate catalyst (0.1 wt.%) and utilizing the condensation of hydroxy with corresponding anhydride or heating under vacuum at 200 °C. Two homologous series of estolides for each triglyceride were synthesized for comparison, mono-capped (one hydroxy functionality per triglyceride molecule) and full-capped (all hydroxy functionalities per triglyceride molecule). Physical properties (pour point, cloud point, viscosity, and oxidative stability) were compared for this estolide series. The longer chain saturate capped estolides (C14–C18) had the highest pour points for both mono-capped (9 °C, C18:0) and full-capped (24 °C, C18:0) lesquerella estolides. Castor mono-capped (9 °C) and full-capped (18 °C) triglyceride estolides gave similar properties. However, pour points improved linearly when the shorter saturated fatty acid capping chain lengths were esterified with the hydroxy triglycerides. Lesquerella capped with a C6:0 fatty acid had pour points of −33 °C for the mono-capped and −36 °C for the full-capped and castor had −36 and −45 °C, respectively. Oxidative stabilities of the estolides were compared for oleic, lauric and lauric-hydrogenated mono- and full-capped materials by rotating bomb oxygen test (RBOT). RBOT times for oleic and lauric capped estolides were low and similar with times centered around 15 min. However, when antioxidant (4 wt.%) was added the RBOT times increased to 688 min for the hydrogenated full-capped lesquerella lauric estolide. The antioxidant had little effect on RBOT times when 2 wt.% or less antioxidant was added for all the estolides except those that were hydrogenated. The hydrogenated estolides showed improvements in oxidative stability at all concentrations of antioxidant tested. Viscosity index ranged from 130 to 202 for all estolides with the shorter chain length capped estolides gave the lower viscosity index values. Viscosity at 100 °C ranged from 13.9 to 26.6 cSt and the 40 °C viscosity ranged from 74.7 to 260.4 cSt where the longer chain length capped estolides gave the highest viscosities.  相似文献

Eight different oilseed crops (Brassica carinata, Camelina sativa, Coriandrum sativum, Euphorbia lagascae, Lepidium sativum, Lesquerella fendleri, Madia sativa, Vernonia galamensis) grown in Italy were investigated regarding anti-nutritive compounds, such as glucosinolates, sinapine, inositol phosphates and condensed tannins, which can adversely affect the nutritional value of residues from the oilseed processing. In all seeds at least one anti-nutritive compound was found, which possibly could lower the nutritive value, but in most cases a real negative effect is not to be expected. The existence and the concentration of the different anti-nutritive components varied in the different seeds. Glucosinolates and sinapine were found only in seeds of B. carinata, L. sativum, C. sativa and L. fendleri, whereas condensed tannins and inositol phosphates appeared in all seeds. In the different seeds the amount ranged from 0.2 mg/g (L. fendleri) to 13.1 mg/g (L. sativum) for sinapine, from 0.4 mg/g (E. lagascae) to 19.6 mg/g (L. fendleri) for condensed tannins, from 6.6 mg/g (E. lagascae) to 23.1 mg/g (B. carinata) for inositol hexa-phosphate as well as from 18.7 μmol/g (C. sativa) to 164.6 μmol/g (L. sativum) for glucosinolates.  相似文献

Cuphea (Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. x C. lanceolata W.T. Aiton; PSR23) is a new oilseed crop rich in medium-chain fatty acids similar to tropical palms. Agronomic studies suggest that temperature is a key determinant of cuphea seed yields. However, little is known about the growth and photosynthesis response of cuphea to temperature. The following study is the first of its kind to evaluate cuphea's growth and photosynthesis response to temperature. Cuphea was grown under day/night temperature regimes of 18/12, 24/18, and 30/24 °C and regression analysis was used to assess its responses of growth and photosynthesis and determine their optimum temperature range. Vegetative growth and leaf photosynthesis adapted well over the temperature range studied. However, reproductive growth was more sensitive showing a decline with increasing temperature. Reproductive growth rate was greatest under the lowest (18/12 °C) temperature treatment and declined by 43% at the highest growth temperatures. In contrast, vegetative growth, which was greatest under the 24/18 °C treatment, declined by just 25 and 10% at the lowest and highest temperatures, respectively. Photosynthesis acclimated to temperature by up-regulation of in vivo Rubisco activity with declining growth temperature. Maximum Rubisco activity (Vcmax) in leaves under the 18/12 °C treatment was 76% greater than that of leaves grown at 30/24 °C. Photosynthetic acclimation permitted cuphea to vegetatively grow well over a wide temperature range, but does not explain the sensitivity of reproductive growth to temperature, which will require further research to elucidate.  相似文献

In order to quantify the effects, at different stages during grain filling, of alternating day/night high temperature regimes on sunflower grain yield and quality, heads were exposed to high temperatures during 7 or 6 days starting either 10–12 days after anthesis (daa, HT1), 18 daa (HT2) or 24 daa (HT3). Also, heads were exposed to high temperatures for periods of 2, 4 or 6 days in each of HT1 and HT2. Temperatures covered a range of mean daily grain temperature of 20–40 °C and peak grain temperatures (i.e., those prevailing during the central 5 h of the daylight period) of 26–45 °C. High temperature stress for periods of 4 days or longer produced significant (p < 0.05) reductions in grain yield and grain quality. Early (HT1) exposure to stress reduced yield by 6%/°C above a mean grain temperature threshold of 29 °C; later (HT2 + HT3) exposures reduced yield by 4%/°C above a threshold of 33 °C. These reductions in yield were attributable to reductions in unit grain weight at all positions (periphery, intermediate, central) on the head, and an increase in the proportion of very small (10–30 mg) grains, termed half-full (HF) grains in this paper. In both full and HF grains, stress in either HT1 or HT2 reduced final pericarp weight, associated with fewer number of cell layers and thinner cell walls in the schlerenchyma. High temperatures reduced both the rate and duration of oil deposition in the grain, with the greatest effects being found with early (HT1) exposures. The unsaturation (oleic acid/linoleic acid) ratio of oil from mature grain was altered only when exposure to heat stress overlapped with the cessation of deposition of storage lipids. The effects of duration and intensity of heat stress on relative (to control) grain yield and oil content could be reasonably summarized using a linear response to cumulative hourly heat load calculated with a base temperature of 30 °C. We conclude that: (i) 4 days of alternating day/night temperatures resulting in mean daily grain temperatures of >30 °C can reduce sunflower grain yield and quality; (ii) the magnitude of these effects is strongly dependent on the timing of exposure and their nature on the grain growth processes active at the time of stress; and (iii) an hourly heat load (base = 30 °C) provides a useful integrative estimator of the effects of exposure to heat stress on grain yield and oil content for a given phase of grain filling.  相似文献

Applications of ultrahigh CO2 treatments accelerated cuphea (Cuphea viscosissima × C. lanceolata ‘PSR23’) growth and development and aided in seedling establishment. The growth (fresh weight) and morphogenesis (number of leaves and roots and seedling length) were determined in cuphea seedlings exposed to 350, 1500, 3000, 10,000, or 30,000 μmol mol−1 CO2 for 30 days under greenhouse conditions. Greater CO2 levels, especially the ultrahigh levels (i.e. ≥3000 μmol mol−1 CO2) resulted in significantly higher (P  0.05) fresh weights, leaf numbers, root numbers, and seedling lengths compared to seedlings grown under ambient air (350 μmol mol−1 CO2). For example, cuphea ‘PSR23’ Morris heavy seedlings showed the greatest seedling fresh weight, leaf number, root number, and seedling length when supplemented with 10,000 μmol mol−1 CO2 increasing 607%, 184%, 784%, and 175%, respectively, when compared to seedlings grown without CO2 enrichment.  相似文献

Cuphea (Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. × C. lanceolata f. silenoides W.T. Aiton, line PSR23) is a new crop being developed in the North Central United States, as an industrial oilseed crop. Cuphea PSR23 seed oil is rich in medium-chain-length fatty acids such as capric acid used to manufacture soaps and detergents. The objective of this research was to determine the time when physiological maturity of cuphea seed is reached and how seed development affects seed moisture, weight, oil content, fatty acid content, germination, and seedling vigor. To evaluate seed development, 2000 cuphea flowers were tagged at anthesis in the field at Prosper, North Dakota in 2004 and 2005. Each flower was tagged when open and the position on the main stem or branch was recorded. Two hundred capsules from the tagged flowers were harvested at 3- to 4-d intervals from 5- to 48-d post anthesis (DPA). Seed weight increased as a function of growing degree days (GDD) and the days from anthesis. Physiological maturity occurred when maximum dry seed weight was attained. Seed weight increases followed the Gompertz function with a R2 = 0.90 (2004) and R2 = 0.95 (2005). All capsules, regardless of their position on the stem, followed the same growth function for seed weight. The maximum dry seed weight estimated by the Gompertz function was 3.61 for 2004 and 3.58 mg seed−1 for 2005. Physiological maturity estimated with a quadratic function occurred at 38 DPA or 270 GDD in 2004. In 2005, physiological maturity occurred at 26 DPA or 265 GDD. As a visual indicator when the capsules split-open seeds inside that capsule are physiologically mature. Seed moisture decreased from 900 g kg−1 at 37 GDD post anthesis to 450 g kg−1 at 319 GDD post anthesis in 2004; however, in 2005 seed moisture decreased from 850 to 81 g kg−1 at 293 GDD post anthesis. Seed germination increased as seed developed and it was 83% when harvested 234 GDD post anthesis. Oil content increased from 98 g kg−1 at 37 GDD post anthesis to 279 g kg−1 319 GDD post anthesis. Fatty acid composition varied throughout seed development. Seed development for 111 GDD and greater had more than 66% of capric acid (10:0). Cuphea should be harvested after 265 GDD post anthesis when most capsules on the main stem are split-open, have attained maximum seed weight, germination, seedling vigor, and oil content.  相似文献

The environmental temperature occurring during the grain filling stage is an important factoraffecting starch synthesis and accumulation in rice. We investigated starch accumulation, amylaseactivity and starch granule size distribution in two low-amylose japonica rice varieties, Nanjing 9108 andFujing 1606, grown in the field at different filling temperatures by manipulating sowing date. The two ricevarieties exhibited similar performances between two sowing dates. Total starch, amylose andamylopectin contents were lower at the early-filling stage of T1 treatment (Early-sowing) compared withthose at the same stage in T2 treatment (Late-sowing). In contrast, at the late-filling stage, when fieldtemperatures were generally decreasing, total starch and amylopectin contents in T1 were highercompared to those in T2. The ideal temperature for strong activity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylaseand soluble starch synthase was about 22℃. A higher temperature from the heading to maturity stagesin T1 increased the activities of starch branching enzyme and suppressed the activities of granule boundstarch synthetase and starch debranching enzyme. We found that rice produced larger-sized starchgranules under the T1 treatment. These results suggested that due to the early-sowing date, the hightemperature (30℃) occurring at the early-filling stage hindered starch synthesis and accumulation,however, the lower temperatures (22 ℃) at the late-filling stage allowed starch synthesis and accumulationto return to normal levels.  相似文献

Lesquerella fendleri seeds contain industrial oil, which is increased under arid environments. In such environments, the water needed for germination is available for only a short time, and consequently, successful crop establishment depends not only on rapid and uniform germination of the seedlot, but also on its ability to germinate under low water availability. All of these attributes can be analyzed through the hydrotime model (HT). Priming is a method to improve the speed and uniformity of germination. This technique reduces the hydrotime constant (θH) and sometimes displaces the base water potential (ψb(50)). This would increase the ability of the seed to germinate under low water availability.The objective of this work was to improve (i) the velocity and uniformity of germination and (ii) the ability to germinate under low water availability condition, in seeds of L. fendleri. We also intended to analyze and model changes in the physiological behaviour of the seedlot caused by the application of the priming treatment with seeds sown both in Petri dishes and containers with soil placed in the field.Seeds were subjected to priming in Petri dishes with a solution of polyethylene glycol (PEG) at 5 (P5) or 20 °C (P20). One-half of the seedlot was used for determination of hydrotime parameters by incubation in Petri dishes at 10, 20, and 30 °C, and in water or PEG solutions calibrated to obtain different ψa. The remaining one-half of the seedlot was sown in soil containers. Three different water availability treatments were imposed, field capacity or control, 75%, and 50% of the field capacity with the P5, P20, and untreated seeds. The P20 and P5 seeds germinated faster and more uniformly than the untreated (control) seeds under laboratory and field condition. The HT model analysis revealed that the θH constant had been reduced and ψb(50) had been shifted towards more negative values in both the P20 and P5 seedlots. This behaviour was consistent with the higher germination percentage attained by the P20 and P5 seeds in the field conditions under reduced water availability (i.e., 75 and 50% of field capacity) compared with that exhibited by the untreated seeds under the same situations.  相似文献

The color (L*, a*, b* parameters), the total phenols content and the global chemical composition (moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrates and ash) of four fresh varieties of olive leaves (Chemlali, Chemchali, Zarrazi and Chetoui) were determined. Fresh olive leaves are characterized by a green color (greenness parameter, a*, varying from ?5.01 ± 0.26 to ?9.14 ± 1.21), an intermediate moisture content (0.85 to 1.00 g/g dry matter, i.e. 46 to 50 g/100 g fresh matter) and a variable amount of total phenols according to the olive leaf variety (from ≈2.32 to ≈1.40 g caffeic acid/100 g dry matter).Fresh leaves were submitted to blanching and/or infrared drying at 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C in order to be stabilized by reducing their moisture contents. The impact of IR drying temperature on some quality attributes (color, total phenols and moisture rate removal) was evaluated. Nevertheless, the effect of prior blanching treatment on the quality attributes of dried leaves is less significant and it depends on the olive leaf variety. The infrared drying induces a considerable moisture removal from the fresh leaves (more than 85%) and short drying durations (varying from ≈162 at 40 °C to 15 min at 70 °C). IR drying temperature showed a significant effect of on total phenols content and the color of the leaves whatever the leaf variety. In fact, total phenols content of dried olive leaves increased if compared to fresh ones. For example, total phenols of Chemlali leaves increased from 1.38 ± 0.02 (fresh leaves) to 2.13 ± 0.29 (dried at 40 °C) and to 5.14 ± 0.60 g caffeic acid/100 g dry matter (dried at 70 °C). IR drying allows preserving the greenness color of fresh leaves and enhancing their luminosity. It could be suggested for preserving olives leaves before their use in food or cosmetic applications.  相似文献

Biodegradable, vegetable oil-based lubricants must have better low temperature properties as well as comparable cost to petroleum oils before they can become widely acceptable in the marketplace. The low temperature property usually measured is the pour point (pp), the minimum temperature at which the material will still pour. Viscosity and viscosity index also provide information about a fluid's properties where a high viscosity index denotes that a fluid has little viscosity change over a wide temperature range. Lesquerella oil is a good candidate for its development into a biodegradable lubricant as it is being developed as an alternative crop for the southwestern U.S. The hydroxy site on the fatty acid (FA) makes it a suitable site for esterification to yield estolides. Castor and lesquerella FA esters were combined with different types of saturated, unsaturated, and branched FAs to produce estolides. Castor and lesquerella estolide esters had the best cold temperature properties when capped with oleic (pp = −54 °C for castor and pp = −48 °C for lesquerella) or capped with a branched material, 2-ethylhexanoic acid (pp = −51 °C for castor and pp = −54 °C for lesquerella). As the saturation was increased in the estolide, pour and cloud points also increased. The increased saturation such as in stearic capped estolides allowed for sufficient alkyl stacking of these long saturated chains producing higher pour points. Oxidative stability of the estolides was compared between the oleic-castor estolide 2-ethylhexyl ester and the coco-castor estolide 2-ethylhexyl ester by the rotating bomb oxidation test (RBOT). The RBOT times for both estolides were low with a similar time of about 15 min. However, when the antioxidant package (3.5 wt.%) was added, the RBOT times increased to 403 min for the coco-castor estolide 2-ethylhexyl ester while still retaining its outstanding cold temperature properties, (pp = −36 °C and cp = −30 °C). The viscosity index ranged from 164 to 200 for these new hydroxy FA derived estolide 2-ethylhexyl esters. These oleic-castor and lesquerella estolide esters have displayed far superior low temperature properties (pp = −54 °C) than any other estolides reported to date. Due to the lack of solvent and catalysts, the cost of these estolides should be reasonable and more suitable as a base stock for biodegradable lubricants and functional fluids than current commercial materials.  相似文献

Controlled environments were used to define the manner in which temperature, water and fertilizer affect the timing of key transition points during grain development and to investigate the effects of combined environmental factors in a US spring wheat (Triticum aestivum (L.)). When plants were subjected to very high temperature regimens (37/17  or 37/28 °C day/night) during grain development, the times to maximum kernel water content, maximum dry weight and harvest maturity were shorter than in plants maintained under a 24/17 °C day/night regimen. Starch accumulated at similar rates, but the onset and cessation of starch accumulation occurred earlier. Apoptosis in endosperm tissue also occurred earlier under high temperatures and coincided with physiological maturity. The addition of drought to the 37/17 °C regimen further shortened the time to maximum water content and dry weight and reduced the duration of starch accumulation, but did not influence the timing of protein accumulation or kernel desiccation. Post-anthesis fertilizer had little effect on time to maximum water content, dry weight, apoptosis, or harvest maturity under any of the temperature regimens and did not influence the timing of starch accumulation. However, both the rate and duration of protein accumulation were reduced when post-anthesis fertilizer was omitted.  相似文献

Hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Butte86) was grown under controlled environmental conditions and grain produced under 24/17 °C, 37/17 °C or 37/28 °C day/night regimens with or without post-anthesis N supplied as NPK. Flour proteins were analyzed and quantified by differential fractionation and RP-HPLC, and endosperm proteins were assessed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). High temperature or NPK during grain fill increased protein percentage and altered the proportions of S-rich and S-poor proteins. Addition of NPK increased protein accumulation per grain under the 24/17 °C but not the 37/28 °C regimen. However, flour protein composition was similar for grain produced with NPK at 24/17 °C or 37/28 °C. 2-DE of gluten proteins during grain development revealed that NPK or high temperature increased the accumulation rate for S-poor proteins more than for S-rich proteins. Flour S content did not indicate S-deficiency, however, and addition of post-anthesis S had no effect on protein composition. Although, high-protein flour from grain produced under the 37/28 °C regimen with or without NPK had loaf volumes comparable to flour produced at 24/17 °C with NPK, mixing tolerance was decreased by the high temperature regimen.  相似文献

Spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is well adapted to the cool and short growing season of interior Alaska but little is known about thermal requirements for development and maturation of barley at such latitudes. Air temperature and barley development were monitored over the course of six growing seasons at Fairbanks (65°N) and Delta Junction (64°N), Alaska. These data were used to assess the base temperature (Tb) in the linear, thermal-unit model using the least variable, x-intercept, and regression coefficient methods. These methods indicated a range in Tb from 0°C to 1.5°C. At a Tb of 0°C, barley required nearly 1100°C d to mature. The phyllochron differed between early and late sowings and averaged 75°C d leaf−1. Sowing date appeared to influence the phyllochron during early vegetative growth due to differences in daylength as well as temperature.  相似文献

In the present work, thermogravimetric analysis of 17 organosolv lignin samples was carried out to determine their thermal stability and calculate the kinetic parameters of their pyrolysis. The thermal stability has been estimated by the measurement of the degradation temperature (Td), calculated according to the maximum reaction rate. In addition, degradation temperature at 10% of conversion (T10%) has been obtained in order to compare the initial stability of the samples with Td for all samples. The values of Td are comprised between 262 and 389 °C and the average value is 340 °C. The range for T10% is 251–320 °C and the average value is 270 °C. The ashes content of the samples has been analyzed and all the residues presented values lower than 4 wt%. Kinetic parameters of lignin pyrolysis were calculated by Borchardt–Daniels’ method assuming nth order reaction. The activation energy values obtained are comprised between 17.9 and 42.5 kJ/mol and the average value is 28.1 kJ/mol. These results are in agreement with the bibliography.  相似文献

The Fe-efficient maize (Zea mays L.) cultivar Alice, the Fe-inefficient mutant yellow-stripe (ys1), and six additional local inbred lines were grown in a growth chamber at 60% relative humidity and 16 h 25°C, 8 h 22°C day–night regime, in nutrient solution with varied Fe supply (+Fe=0.1 mM) or (−Fe=0.01 mM) supplied as Fe(III)–EDTA. The study aimed to establish a genetic assay system for early evaluation of Fe-efficiency and Fe-nutritional status based on peroxidase isozyme variation in roots of maize lines. The wild-type peroxidase isozyme patterns revealed an extra band (C3) not present in the mutant patterns. Inbreds 51, 122, 126, and 137 had peroxidase isozymes similar to the Fe-efficient Alice, while inbreds 112 and 144 had nearly the same pattern as the Fe-inefficient mutant ys1. Sufficient Fe supply did not alter the isoperoxidase patterns of the ys1, but had significant effect on the activity of the (C3) band of the Fe-efficient Alice. On the other hand, the activity of the (C3) band for the inbreds 51, 122, 126 and 137 responded clearly to the sufficient level of iron in the media similar to the response of Alice, while inbreds 112 and 144 did not show any changes in C3 either in sufficient or deficient Fe supply, similar to ys1. The results indicate that the Fe-efficient maize lines may have an additional cathodal (C3) band of the root isoperoxidase and that changes in the activity of the band can reflect the Fe-nutritional status of maize lines.  相似文献

The lipid profile of nuts from Ximenia caffra and Ricinodendron rautanenii was determined and compared. Although the total oil content of X. caffra and R. rautanenii nuts was similar (47.6 ± 7.5% versus 53.3 ± 13.7%), the fatty acid profiles differed significantly. X. caffra had a higher content (p < 0.05) of saturated fatty acids than R. rautanenii (20.19 ± 1.07% versus 13.87 ± 3.68%) and contained C22:0 and C24:0 which were lacking in R. rautanenii. Total monounsaturated fatty acids were higher in X. caffra than R. rautanenii (71.48 ± 0.99% versus 36.66 ± 1.95%). Oleic acid (C18:1n9) was the major monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) in X. caffra whereas erucic acid (C22:1n9), the major MUFA in R. rautanenii, was undetectable in X. caffra. R. rautanenii had a greater polyunsaturated fatty acid content than X. caffra which contained C18:3n3 (α-linolenic acid) and nervonic acid (24:1n9). X. caffra is potentially an important source of essential fatty acids.  相似文献
