Various nitrate and ammonium proportions (NO3-/NH4+) in the growth media can increase metal phytoextraction compared to supplying solely NO3-. However, there are no studies showing these effects in plants under copper (Cu)
Two common tropical grassland species, Panicum maximum Jacq. (Guinea grass) and Cenchrus ciliaris (Buffel grass) of Indo-Gangetic plains were assessed for their responses under future level of O3 (ambient +30 ppb) using open top chambers. Plants were assessed for foliar injuries,
To evaluate biological potential of methanol and n-hexane extracts of aerial parts in seven species of family Poaceae.Qualitative phytochemical tests were done by using standard protocols. In vitro antioxidant activity was performed via different assays and
Soil salinization is a major factor limiting crop growth and development in many areas. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is an important warm-season grass species used for biofuel production. The objective of this study was to investigate antioxidant metabolism, proline,and protein variation
The effect of germination, steaming and roasting on the nutraceutical and antioxidant properties of little millet (Panicum sumatrense) was investigated. The nutraceutical properties were determined by evaluating the total phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents while the antioxidant properties were
Soluble and insoluble-bound phenolic extracts of several varieties of millet (kodo, finger, foxtail, proso, pearl, and little millets) whole grains were evaluated for their phenolic contents and antioxidative efficacy using trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), reducing power (RP), and
Geophytes are plants with underground storage organs including bulbs, corms, tubers, and rhizomes, often physiologically active and able to survive during harsh environmental conditions. This study is conducted to assess the nutritive value, mineral composition, bioactive metabolites, and
Salinity is a major environmental stress and a substantial constraint on plant production. The objective of this research was to better understand the mechanisms of the antioxidant responses of leaves and roots to NaCl-salinity stress in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). The effects of
Evaluation of phenolic contents and their in vitro bioactivities of six diverse cultivars of foxtail and little millets revealed that their total phenolic content ranged from 19.42 to 24.12 µmol ferulic acid equivalents/g. The soluble fraction accounted for more than 80% of the total phenolic and
Agricultural activities are affected by many biotic and abiotic stresses associated with global climate change. Predicting the response of plants to abiotic stress under future climate scenarios requires an understanding of plant biochemical performance in simulated stress conditions. In this study,
The genetic diversity and antioxidant potential of Panicum miliaceum L. accessions collected from different geo-ecological regions of South Korea were evaluated and compared. Antioxidant potential of seeds was estimated by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the physicochemical properties, fatty acid (FA) and phytochemical compositions, and free radical-scavenging potentials of oils from the bagasses: Costus afer stem (CA) and Saccharum officinarum stem (SB); agricultural residues; corn cobs (CC); tigernut chaff (TB);
Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an important nutritious ancient minor-cereal food crop. However, this crop is little explored in the food processing arena to improve its functionality. In this context, different processing methods were applied to enhance the secondary compounds of
In order to grow and effectively uptake and accumulate cadmium (Cd), plants used for phytoextraction have to cope with toxicity, which may be influenced by the supply of nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+). Thus, we evaluated the effect of these nitrogen
Plant exhibits various patterns of survival under salinity and their growth and development depend on their capacity to overcome the stress. Present investigation was focused on the response and regulation of the antioxidant defense system and the level of lipid peroxidation in Panicum miliacium and
