Abstract This study highlights the importance of adding value to Raphia sese (raffia) from the Congo Basin, by using a screw press to extract its pulp oil that can be used in agri‐food industry. A 2k factorial experiment was used to study the influence of the intrinsic parameters of the press (rotation speed and diameter of the output die) on the oil ...

Variable accumulation of cadmium in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)
Given the potential use of flax in metal-contaminated soil remediation programs, the uptake and accumulation of cadmium was studied in five varieties of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) including var. Belinka, Escalina, Jitka, Marina and Krasnoder. Early stage plants in hydroponics were exposed to Cd to assess their tolerance by means of growth parameters

Evaluating the Potential of Using 5-Azacytidine as an Epimutagen [PDF]
A number of early flowering lines were induced when 5-azacytidine was applied to germinating flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) seed. The genetics of these lines indicate that the induced changes are epigenetic and probably result from demethylation of the ...

The phenolic complex in flaxseed [PDF]
Flaxseed is the richest plant source of the lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). In flaxseed, SDG exists in an oligomeric structure with 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaric acid (HMGA) forming a phenolic complex together with p-coumaric acid and ...

Flax latitudinal adaptation at LuTFL1 altered architecture and promoted fiber production [PDF]
After domestication in the Near East around 10,000 years ago several founder crops, flax included, spread to European latitudes. On reaching northerly latitudes the architecture of domesticated flax became more suitable to fiber production over oil, with

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Influence of diesel fuel on seed germination [PDF]
The use of plant-based systems to remediate contaminated soils has become an area of intense scientific study in recent years and it is apparent that plants which grow well in contaminated soils need to be identified and screened for use in ...
