Molecular characteristics and physicochemical properties of very small granule starch isolated from Agriophyllum squarrosum seeds

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2021
Novel starch resources isolated from accessible botanical origins are of special interest to food scientists in the context of food security. In this study, Agriophyllum squarrosum starches (AS-1, AS-2, and AS-3) were isolated from three ecotypes of A. squarrosum seeds and compared with quinoa starch (QS).

Germination characteristics of Agriophyllum squarrosum

Canadian Journal of Botany, 2004
Agriophyllum squarrosum (L.) Moq. (Chenopodiaceae), a pioneer species of natural succession in semi-arid regions of China, is widely used for vegetation rehabilitation by air seeding. Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of light intensity and photoperiod, as well as constant and alternating temperatures, on germination to improve the ...

A psammophyte Agriophyllum squarrosum (L.) Moq.: a potential food crop

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2014
Agriophyllum squarrosum is an annual psammophyte adapted to mobile sand dunes in arid and semi-arid regions of Central Asia. The species has evolved a range of physiological, morphological, and ecological adaptations to allow it to be a pioneer species of unstable, nutrient-poor, drought-prone and hot sand dunes.

Organic acid metabolites involved in local adaptation to altitudinal gradient in Agriophyllum squarrosum, a desert medicinal plant

Journal of Plant Research, 2021
Agriophyllum squarrosum (L.) Moq., a pioneer plant endemic to the temperate deserts of Asia, could be domesticated into an ideal crop with outstanding ecological and medicinal characteristics. A previous study showed differential organic acid accumulation between two in situ altitudinal ecotypes.

The assisting effects of ultrasound on the multiscale characteristics of heat-moisture treated starch from Agriophyllum squarrosum seeds

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021
Present study was aimed to characterize the effects of heat-moisture treatments supported by ultrasound on structural, physicochemical and digestive properties of the starch from Agriophyllum squarrosum seeds. The starch sample was subjected to heat-moisture (120°C, 25% moisture) for different durations with assisting by pre- or post-treatment of ...

The agronomic performance of sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum), a potential semi-arid crop species

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2018
Agriophyllum squarrosum (sand rice), a member of the Amaranthaceae family adapted to arid to semi-arid conditions in central Asia, produces highly nutritious seed. Three ecotypes collected from sand dunes in the western Chinese arid desert region (Linze, Minqin and Shapotou) and three from the semi-arid desert region (Duolun, Naiman, and Aerxiang) were

Effect of dietary Agriophyllum squarrosum on average daily gain, meat quality and muscle fatty acids in growing Tan lambs

Meat Science, 2023
The herb A. squarrosum is reputed to possess medicinal properties for humans, and has the potential to be a feed resource for livestock. We hypothesized that this herb would improve the meat quality of lambs. To test this hypothesis, 24 Tan ewe-lambs (27.7 ± 0.45 kg) were offered diets containing 0 (CON), 100 (AS100), 200 (AS200) and 300 (AS300) g A ...

Synteny-based mapping of causal point mutations relevant to sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum) trichomeless1 mutant by RNA-sequencing

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2018
Sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum), a diploid Amaranthaceae species within the order Caryophyllalles, has potential as a crop in response to concerns about ongoing climate change and future food security. Modifying the weedy traits, such as dense trichomes, is important for the domestication of sand rice. In this study, an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)
