Amaranthus hypochondriacus and Amaranthus caudatus germplasm: Characteristics of plants, grain and flours

Food Chemistry, 2010
Abstract In the present study, the plant, grain and flour characteristics of 48 Amaranthus hypochondriacus and 11 Amaranthus caudatus lines are reported. A. hypochondriacus grains had a higher thousand kernel weight (0.62–0.88 g), a creamish yellow colour (L∗ = 61.38–68.29, b∗ = 5.26–6.8 and a∗ = 19.71–23.84), whereas A.

Amaranthus hypochondriacus: Seed Structure and Localization of Seed Reserves

Annals of Botany, 1994
Abstract The mature seed of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. consists of a peripheric embryo surrounding the nutritive tissue which is the perisperm. Endosperm remnants are close to the root tip. Cytochemical analysis revealed that the embryo and endosperm cells had a quite homogenous internal organization, with protein bodies embedded in a lipid ...

Isolation and Biochemical Characterization of an Antifungal Peptide from Amaranthus hypochondriacus Seeds

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007
An antifungal peptide, Ay-AMP, was isolated from Amaranthus hypochondriacus seeds by acidic extraction and then purified by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. The molecular mass of this peptide, as determined by mass spectrometry, is 3184 Da. The peptide belongs to the superfamily of chitin-binding proteins, containing a single cysteine/

Bioactive Peptides in Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) Seed

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
Amaranth seeds are rich in protein with a high nutritional value, but little is known about their bioactive compounds that could benefit health. The objectives of this research were to investigate the presence, characterization, and the anticarcinogenic properties of the peptide lunasin in amaranth seeds.

Transgenic Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus)

2001
Amaranths are dicotyledonous plants that belong to the Amaranthaceae family which comprises more than 50 genera, distributed in tropical and subtropical zones of the world (Kigel and Rubin 1985). Most of these genera are native to America, and they grow in disturbed areas and produce large seedheads with small seeds.

Rubisco from Amaranthus Hypochondriacus

1990
Rubisco (ribulose 1, 5-Msphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase E.CT.4.1.1.39.) from C-4 plants have not yet been extensively studied. Badger and Andrews(1) have isolated rubisco from Zea mays and found it’s Km(CO2) higher than that from C-3 plants, but this is stilx in controversy(2).

Study on genetic diversity in Amaranthus (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.)

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLANT SCIENCES
Grain amaranth is a protein rich psuedocereal, assumes an important position in terms of quality breeding activities. Systematic characterization, evaluation and utilization of the potential genotype in the crop are prerequisite to any crop improvement. Genetic diversity study was conducted in one hundred fifty genotypes using Mahalanobis D2 Statistics
