Abstract:
... Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a significantly lucrative cash crop for millions of small-holder farmers. Its seeds are an important source of a world highly appreciated oil and two clinically essential antioxidant lignans, sesamin and sesamolin. Accordingly, many countries import annually millions of tons of sesame seeds. The demand for lignan-rich sesame seeds is increasing yearly due to the cont ...

Abstract:
... Determinacy is a desirable trait in sesame, an important oilseed crop. We have developed an inter-specific hybrid between basally branched indeterminate cultivated Sesamum indicum genotype and wild S. prostratum with no branching yet synchronous pods on the shoot. The hybrid and a few exotic sesame germplasms were successfully screened with a determinacy (dt) gene-based DNA marker. In-silico trans ...

Abstract:
... Indian safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), an oilseed crop, is low in oleic acid (14–20%) and oil (26–32%) levels. An attempt was made to improve oleic acid and oil levels in Indian safflower considering the high global demand for oleic oils. A parent possessing low oil (30%) and high oleic acid (74%) contents was crossed to two parents having low levels of oil (28% and 30%) and oleic acid (18% a ...

... The gene content of plants varies between individuals of the same species due to gene presence/absence variation, and selection can alter the frequency of specific genes in a population. Selection during domestication and breeding will modify the genomic landscape, though the nature of these modifications is only understood for specific genes or on a more general level (e.g., by a loss of genetic ...

Abstract:
... Because canola is a major oilseed crop, accurately determining its planting areas is crucial for ensuring food security and achieving UN 2030 sustainable development goals. However, when canola is extracted using remote-sensing data, winter wheat causes serious interference because it has a similar growth cycle and spectral reflectance characteristics. This interference seriously limits the classi ...

Abstract:
... Activated carbons were produced from Acer truncatum seed shells with KOH activation in one step (direct activation) or two steps (activation preceded with carbonization). The effects of activation mode and temperature on the surface/physicochemical properties and electrochemical characteristics of the resulting activated carbons were thoroughly investigated. One-step activation at 800 °C outperfor ...

Abstract:
... Tea oil camellia (Camellia oleifera Abel.) is a widely distributed oilseed plant in China that yielded around 3.14 million tons of camellia seeds in 2020. Consequently, millions of tons of tea oil camellia shells (TOCS) are produced as processing residues. They are mainly discarded or burned due to the lack of effective large-scale utilization strategies. In this study, the pyrolysis characteristi ...
... Buglossoides arvensis is a burgeoning oilseed crop that contains an unique combination of ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), constituting ~80–85% of seed triacylglycerols (TAGs). To uncover the critical TAG biosynthetic pathways contributing for high PUFA accumulation, we performed lipidome of developing seeds and characterized acyltransferases involved in the final step of TAG biosyn ...

... Agronomic performance evaluations of spring- and fall-seeded camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] genotypes in China are limited despite a long tradition of growing this crop in the northern parts of the country (i.e., Gansu and Xinjiang provinces). A field experiment (2015-2019) was conducted to determine the seed yield and seed quality of spring- and fall-seeded Chinese camelina cv ‘Xiaoguo’ a ...

Abstract:
... Soy is the major oilseed crop as soybeans are widely used to produce biofuel, food, and feed. Other parts of the plant are left on the ground after harvest. The accumulation of such by-products on the soil can cause environmental problems. This work presents for the first time a comprehensive metabolite profiling of soy by-products collected directly from the ground just after mechanical harvestin ...

... Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.; 2n = 2x = 34) is an important annual oilseed crop cultivated worldwide due to its good oil quality and wider adaptability to different climatic and soil conditions. In the recent past, powdery mildew (Golovinomyces cichoracearum (DC.) V.P. Heluta.) disease has evolved as a significant constraint for yield and quality production in sunflower crop. Hence, we develope ...

Abstract:
... The plant root microbiome can enhance yield in crops, but whether this effect is due to one yield-promoting bacterial community consisting of key taxa, or multiple configurations of taxa with different traits is unclear. A changing climate and the need to reduce carbon-intensive agricultural inputs has spurred breeding programs to explore holobiont approaches to optimizing crop yields. Here we use ...
