Abstract:
... The present work aims to propose a ¹H NMR-based method for a rapid determination of conversion, yield, and selectivity in the epoxidation of organic substrates. Several experiments were carried out on different substrates and analyzed with both the proposed ¹H NMR method and the volumetric traditional ones for a useful comparison. The results obtained with the traditional methods were deeply studi ...

Abstract:
... Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a multi-functional crop cultivated for fiber, seeds, or phytochemical extraction. Once a major industrial crop in several agro-environments, its cultivation strongly declined in developed countries since World War II. Exploiting hemp vegetative tissue as innovative food has remained largely unexplored. The current work examined the potential production of hemp microgre ...

Abstract:
... Mint is an industrial crop cultivated worldwide at millions of hectares. A considerable variation has been reported in the yield and quality of oil obtained from the crops of menthol mint varieties depending on its menthol contents. The menthol percentage of mint is usually determined by gas chromatographic (GC) analysis, which needs high capital investments and is expensive, requiring special exp ...

Abstract:
... The importance of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is increasing rapidly as a potential industrial crop throughout the world. Soil-moisture and nitrogen (N) are the key components for agricultural productivity. However, the information on the effects of availability of soil moisture and N dose on the growth of stevia, N dynamics in the plant and soil, and NUE is limited. Thus, a field study involving th ...
... Atropa belladonna is an important industrial crop for producing anticholinergic tropane alkaloids (TAs). Using glyphosate as selection pressure, transgenic homozygous plants of A. belladonna are generated, in which a novel calmodulin gene (AbCaM1) and a reported EPSPS gene (G2-EPSPS) are co-overexpressed. AbCaM1 is highly expressed in secondary roots of A. belladonna and has calcium-binding activi ...

Abstract:
... Sunflower is an important industrial crop since it is grown all over the world for oil production, while Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.) is characterized by great competitiveness and can severely impair plant growth and crop productivity. Thus, a two-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of Johnsongrass control practices on plant growth, seed yield, and oil content ...

Abstract:
... Hemp known botanically as Cannabis sativa L. (CS) is an important industrial crop. A huge literature was devoted to its biology owing to its numerous health-healing properties and biotechnological applications. However, little is known about essential oil (CSEO) chemical composition in the cultivars grown in Morocco. In this research work, we aimed at investigating CSEO chemical composition of thr ...
... BACKGROUND: In the Philippines, 26% of the total agricultural land is devoted to coconut production making coconut one of the most valuable industrial crop in the country. However, the country’s multimillion-dollar coconut industry is threatened by the outbreak of coconut scale insect (CSI) and other re-emerging insect pests promoting national research institutes to work jointly on developing new ...
... Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. is a worthwhile industrial crop for its extensive application in Chinese herbal pharmaceuticals, food, and other industries. In this study, proanthocyanidins were extracted from the pulp of Crataegus pinnatifida Bge., and the structure, antityrosinase, antimelanogenesis, anti-α-glucosidase, and anti-glycation activities of these compounds were systematically elucidated. ...

Abstract:
... The oat oil composition is unique among cereals; however, the industrial exploitation of oat oil still needs more attention. The health claims authorized by the FDA and the EFSA have led to a significant increase in the industry’s interest in oats as an industrial crop. The current focus is put on the extraction of fibre/beta-glucan or oat proteins. In contrast, the fat present in oats and especia ...

Abstract:
... Maize is a staple food, feed, and industrial crop. One of the major stresses on maize production is heat stress, which is usually accompanied by other stresses, such as drought or salinity. In this review, we compared the effects of high temperatures on maize production in China. Heat stress disturbs cellular homeostasis and impedes growth and development in plants. Plants have evolved a variety o ...
