Abstract:
... Although germination sensu stricto and germination–dormancy balance are essential to each other, few reports demonstrate the effects of their relationship on patterns of seed–seedling transition. We studied this relationship by using diaspores of Paepalanthus chiquitensis, a threatened everlasting flowering species. We assessed three aspects: (a) water dynamics in germinating diaspores, (b) therma ...

Abstract:
... Amaranth is one of the good squalene sources among the grains. The distribution of oil in the grain amaranth varies, and hence, the grain was fractionated into endosperm rich and bran rich streams and evaluated for its oil and squalene contents. The grains were popped, steamed and germinated, and fractionated into endosperm rich and bran rich streams, and the total oil and squalene contents of all ...
