Abstract Pea ( Pisum sativum L.) is a major legume crop grown in semi‐arid climate Western Canada, where heat stress affects pollination, seed set and yield. Seed pod growth characteristics, along with vitro percentage pollen germination, tube surface composition, were measured two pea cultivars (CDC Golden CDC Sage) subjected to five maximum temperature regimes ranging from 24 36 °C. Heat reduced length, number per pod, the seed–ovule ratio. Percentage germination of Sage was greater than...
With climate change, pea will be more frequently subjected to heat stress in semi-arid regions like Saskatchewan during flowering. The pollen germination percentage of two cultivars was reduced by (36°C) with an important decrease cultivar 'CDC Golden' compared Sage.' Lipids, protein and other coat compositions whole intact grains both were investigated using mid infrared (mid-IR) attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform (FTIR) spectroscopy. Curve fitting ATR absorbance spectra...
Abstract Field pea ( Pisum sativum ), a major grain legume crop, is autogamous and adapted to temperate climates. The objectives of this study were investigate effects high temperature stress on stamen chemical composition, anther dehiscence, pollen viability, interactions with pistil ovules, ovule growth viability. Two cultivars (“CDC Golden” “CDC Sage”) exposed 24/18°C (day/night) continually or 35/18°C for 4 7 days. Heat altered lipid composition Sage” being more stable compared Golden.”...
Abstract Elevated temperatures associated with climate change result in crops being exposed to frequent spells of heat stress. Heat stress results reduced yield field pea ( Pisum sativum L.); it is therefore important identify cultivars improved pod and seed retention under mitigate this loss. Objectives were investigate the effect on phenology, pod‐based components. Sixteen evaluated at normal late (hot) seeding dates Arizona 2012 growth chambers two temperature regimes (24/18°C 35/18°C...
Nutraceutical use of algae requires understanding the diversity and significance their active compositions for intended activities. Ishige okamurae (I. okamurae) extract is well-known to possess α-glucosidase inhibitory activity; however, studies are needed investigate its composition in order standardize activity. In this study, we observed intensity dominant compounds each I. harvested between 2016 2017, different potency against α-glucosidase. By comparing anti-α-glucosidase ability...
Particulate matter (PM) contributes to air pollution and primarily originates from unregulated industrial emissions seasonal natural dust emissions. Fucoxanthin (Fx) is a marine pigment brown macroalgae that has been shown have various beneficial effects on health. However, the of Fx PM-induced toxicities in cells animals not assessed. In this study, we investigated anti-inflammatory potential Fx-rich fraction (FxRF) Sargassum fusiformis against PM-mediated inflammatory responses. The FxRF...
Abstract Flowering plants are highly sensitive to heat stress during reproductive phase, which covers development from floral initiation seed maturity. The objectives of this study were diagnose high temperature effects on pollen production and morphology, reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) in grains ovules pea cultivar “ CDC Golden.” This also investigated timing duration exposure at specific developmental stages buds, open flowers early set pods flower pod abortion, yield Golden” a second...
ABSTRACT Sweet corn ( Zea mays L. saccharata ) is gaining global popularity as a staple crop and vegetable due to its high nutritional value. However, information on grain magnesium (Mg) calcium (Ca) status their response phosphorus (P) fertilization in sweet still insufficient. In the current study, we combined genotype evaluation P gradient experiments investigate how supply influences spatio‐temporal variation of mineral nutrition (Mg Ca) bioavailabilities corn. Increasing decreased Ca by...
Prevailing global warming has challenged agricultural production such that it is paramount to evaluate crop cultivars tolerate increasing temperatures. Heat tolerance in many crops been screened by examining vitro pollen germination. The objectives of this study were determine the effects high temperature on germination and tube growth Pisum sativum L., a species adapted relatively cool To genotypic differences, from 24 grown field was collected subjected control (24 °C) (36 regimes for h....
Seaweeds are a potential source of minerals, essential amino acids, fatty proteins, and various bioactive compounds such as antioxidants. The higher water content seaweeds reduces the shelf life this requires appropriate drying method. conditions play major role in conservation nutrient composition dried seaweeds. In recent years, seaweed industry has used many different methods with advantages limitations. Hybrid hot-water Goodle dryer (HHGD) which is special mixed Korean traditional...
Reproductive success hinges on precisely coordinated meiosis, yet our understanding of how structural rearrangements chromatin and phase transitions during meiosis are transcriptionally regulated is limited. In crop plants, detailed analysis the meiotic transcriptome could identify regulatory genes epigenetic regulators that can be targeted to increase recombination rates broaden genetic variation, as well provide a resource for comparison among eukaryotes different taxa answer outstanding...
Abstract We present an action model learning system known as ARMS (Action-Relation Modelling System) for automatically discovering models from a set of successfully observed plans. Current artificial intelligence (AI) planners show impressive performance in many real world and domains, but they all require the definition model. is aimed at example plans, where each plan sequence traces. These can then be used by human editors to refine. The expectation that this will lessen burden designing...
