MECHANICS OF POPPY SEEDS [PDF]
ABSTRACT Poppy seeds of four varieties (Lazur, Opal, Przemko, and Albin) were compressed between two rigid plates at constant deformation rate 0.0167 mm per second. The experiments were performed with the stored seeds, but blue varieties Lazur, Opal, and Przemko were tested also at the harvest and pre-harvest stages of maturity.

Distribution under climate change of Anemone coronaria: linking flower colour and seed dispersal
Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour‐polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic‐red ...

Antioxidant Potential of the Extracts, Fractions and Oils Derived from Oilseeds
The polyphenolic extracts and oils were obtained from ajwain, mustard, fenugreek and poppy seeds. The extracts were partitioned into acidic and neutral polyphenolic fractions and following estimation of total phenolics in the crude extract, acidic and ...
