• To adapt to waterlogging in soil, some gramineous plants, such as maize (Zea mays), form lysigenous aerenchyma the root cortex. Ethylene, which is accumulated during waterlogging, promotes formation. However, molecular mechanism of formation not understood. The aim this study was identify formation-associated genes expressed roots a basis for understanding Maize plants were grown under waterlogged conditions, with or without pretreatment an ethylene perception inhibitor...
To adapt to waterlogging, maize (Zea mays) forms lysigenous aerenchyma in root cortex as a result of ethylene-promoted programmed cell death (PCD). Respiratory burst oxidase homolog (RBOH) gene encodes gp91phox NADPH oxidase, and has role the generation reactive oxygen species (ROS). Recently, we found that, during formation, RBOH was up-regulated all tissues examined, whereas an ROS scavenging-related metallothionein (MT) down-regulated specifically cortical cells. Together, these changes...
Background and Aims Internal aeration is important for plants to survive during periods of waterlogging, the ability form aerenchyma contributes by creating a continuous gas space between shoots roots. Roots maize (Zea mays) react prolonged waterlogging forming in root cortical cells programmed cell death (PCD) response ethylene. The aim this study was understand molecular mechanisms ethylene-induced formation identifying genes that are either up- or downregulated ethylene treatment cells....
The effects of dehulling and milling seeds on the volatiles two Vicia faba L. cultivars were evaluated using headspace-solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). phenolic constituents antioxidants activities also estimated same kind samples. A total 36 belonging six different chemical classes identified. Among them, 11 compounds determined in emission profile whole bean seeds, 19 from dehulled legume 14 seed flours, 24 flours. difference...
In this study, we examined the behavior of six faba bean (Vicia L.) genotypes under salinity conditions at seedling stage.The evaluation was assessed using 21 morphological, physiological, and photosynthetic traits control, moderate, severe conditions.The principal component analysis (PCA) used to identify contrasting in response salt stress characterize important for tolerance.The result PCA showed that displayed different saline most discriminating quantitative characters were related...
The present study was carried out in order to investigate the behaviour of six faba bean (Vicia Minor) genotypes (Saber 02, Locale, Baachar, Badii, Chourouk and Najeh) response salinity flooding (hypoxia), either alone or combined, identify tolerant select efficient bean-rhizobia symbiosis under and/or hypoxia conditions. were cultivated three agricultural soils with low (160 µs/cm) moderate (1850 salt content submitted not a 30-day long period. Growth parameters photosynthetic performance...
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of four biochar concentrations (0, 2, 5, and 8%) on single interactive effects salinity drought stresses morphological, physiological, photosynthetic parameters faba bean plants. PCA analysis showed that plants displayed different behavior under non-stressed stressed conditions. The most discriminating quantitative characters were related plant biomass production photosynthesis, especially shoot dry mass, root fresh internal CO2 concentration, net...
<title>Abstract</title> The impact of germination and milling on volatile compounds (VOCs) chickpea cultivar was evaluated using HS-SPME/GC-MS technique. In total, 35 VOCs were identified. this study, 28 active odors characterized in seeds 23 flours: 17 raw seeds, 24 sprouted grains, 21 flours, germinated flours; they accounted for 98.9, 96.6, 97.9, 98.8% total emissions, respectively. classified into six chemical classes i.e., monoterpene hydrocarbons (MH), oxygenated monoterpenes (OM),...
Respiration is very sensitive to waterlogged conditions. Under these conditions, plant roots suffer from lack of available oxygen. In fact, waterlogging reduces the exchange gases between and atmosphere. When plants cannot receive sufficient oxygen level for respiration, they form aerenchyma in their which function as reservoirs submerged plant. Aerenchyma formed maize (Zea mays) response different types stress such waterlogging, mechanical impedance, drought nutrient deficiencies. Ethylene...
The volatile profiles of raw, dehulled, and germinated seeds flours green brown lentils (Lens culinaris subsp. culinaris) were assessed using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GS-MS). total identification percentages the extracted volatiles ranged between 96.3% 99.8%. Fifty-five aroma compounds detected and, among them, 42 determined in emission whole legume 37 from flours; they classified seven chemical classes, including...
Phytosterols are plant components that have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol except for the addition of an extra methyl or ethyl group.In plants, more than 200 different types phytosterols been recorded such as β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol.It is well reported high consumption sterols stanols can lower serum total low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol concentrations in humans.In their effect, promising effect cancer prevention.The most important natural sources...
