Comparative Assessment of Lignan, Tocopherol, Tocotrienol and Carotenoids in 40 Selected Varieties of Flaxseed ( L.).

Multiple varieties of flaxseeds have been identified in the world, yet the relationship between these varieties, their agronomic traits, and their seeds' quality remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the level of lignan, vitamins and carotenoids in 40 selected flaxseed varieties, and the relationship between varieties, agronomic traits, and seed quality was investigated. In this study, notably, fiber flax variety No.

Proteomic and Mutant Analysis of Hydrogenase Maturation Protein Gene in Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation of .

yet important redox reaction between protons and electrons and H, thus mediating symbiotic interactions. The contribution of to this symbiosis and anti-oxidative damage was investigated using the (encoding maturation protein) mutant. The mutant grew a little faster than its parental 7653R and displayed decreased antioxidative capacity under HO-induced oxidative damage.

Phytoremediation with kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) for cadmium-contaminated paddy soil in southern China: translocation, uptake, and assessment of cultivars.

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is suitable for growing in heavy metal-polluted soil for non-food purposes and can be used as a potential crop to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soil. The main objective of this study was to investigate kenaf phytoextraction of cadmium (Cd), including uptake, translocation, and accumulation differences in tissues among kenaf cultivars.

Cadmium accumulation, translocation, and assessment of eighteen L. cultivars growing in heavy metal contaminated soil.

Flax ( L.) is suitable for growing in heavy metal polluted soil for non-food purposes and can be used as potential crops for cleaning the soil from heavy metals. The main objective of this study was to investigate flax/linseed phytoextraction of cadmium (Cd), including uptake, translocation, and accumulation differences in organs among flax/linseed cultivars.

Digital gene expression profiling of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) stem peel identifies genes enriched in fiber-bearing phloem tissue.

To better understand the molecular mechanisms and gene expression characteristics associated with development of bast fiber cell within flax stem phloem, the gene expression profiling of flax stem peels and leaves were screened, using Illumina's Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis. Four DGE libraries (2 for stem peel and 2 for leaf), ranging from 6.7 to 9.

Analysis of 2,297 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from a cDNA library of flax (Linum ustitatissimum L.) bark tissue.

Bast fibre crops are the second most important natural fibre crops following cotton. Of these, flax (Linum ustitatissimum L.) is the most widely planted in the world, with its fibre used for high quality linen textile.

Development and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers in Linum usitatissimum.

Thirty-five microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized in Linum usitatissimum using enriched genomic libraries. These loci were screened in eight cultivars from different countries and regions and were found to be polymorphic, with the number of alleles per locus ranging from two to six, and observed and expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.125 to 0.

[Construction of a cDNA library of Alternaria sp. strain JH505 using Gateway technology].

A cDNA library was constructed based on the Gateway system that is a method to construct a high-quality cDNA library without the use of restriction enzyme for cloning. This is the first report that the Gateway system is used to construct a cDNA library for Alternaria sp..
