Promotion of Value-Added Uses of Soybeans
… concerns, low-linolenic soybeans and colored seed coat soybeans were investigated for their health beneficial components, as well as their chemical and biological properties. A study of low-linolenic soybeans showed their similar antioxidant activity, total phenolics, and isoflavones to normal …

Thymoquinone is a Novel Ligand which Activates Neu4 Sialidase to Promote a Pro-Inflammatory Response
Thymoquinone (TQ), a volatile oil component of black seed oil (derived from Nigella sativa), has been shown to have various biological effects including disease treatment and prevention. TQ is believed to share similar properties to the benzoquinones already in use as therapeutic drugs. Based on …

Structural variation at soybean loci regulating small RNAs and seed color
In soybean, seed color is determined by a specific class of small RNAs known as short- interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The dominant ii allele of the I (inhibitor) locus is composed of an inverted-repeat cluster of six chalcone synthase (CHS) genes on chromosome 8 whose unique arrangement generates CHS …

Development of Dispersive and Fourier Transform Near Infrared Spectroscopy Methodology for Food and Edible Seed Analysis
… for total small sugars in whole soybean seeds were developed for the first time. Black seed coat effects on soybean composition were eliminated by measuring ground soybean samples with FT-NIR. Data analysis of 17 different soybean groups indicates that there is a high level of inverse …

The synthesis of novel indazole alkaloids with potential medicinal properties.
The black seeds of Nigella sativa Lin. are universally accepted as a panacea. In particular the black seed oil extract has been shown to have bronchodilatory, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antifungal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and immunopotentiang activities. Four principal alkaloids Nigellicine …

Broad-spectrum antivirals against coronavirus using natural products and drug repurposing strategies
… discovery, with a focus on Nigella sativa (black seed) oils. While direct contact assays revealed limited antiviral efficacy, vapour-phase diffusion of the oils significantly reduced coronavirus infectivity. Chemical analysis identified volatile terpenes and phenolic compounds—particularly …

Amelioration of the chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (CR-EAE) using thymoquinone
… of oil of Nigella Sativa also known as black seed. Thirty female mice strain C57BL/6J between 6 to 12 weeks of age were placed into 3 groups of 10 and MOG was used subcutaneously (s.c) to induce EAE. Group A, the control group. Group B, received MOG (s.c) and TQ intraperiotoneally (i.p) …

The natural history, sensory ecology and biogeography of the seed dispersal of large fruits in Fynbos
Seed dispersal is a crucial life-history stage for the regeneration of all reseeding plants. In the Fynbos Biome of the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) of South Africa, at least 100 plant species have seed traits that suggest they are scatterhoarded by small mammals. The aims of this thesis …

Development of yellow seeded BRASSICA NAPUS L., through interspecific crosses
Yellow seeded Brassica napus was developed by introgressing genes for yellow seed colour from the two mustard species, B. juncea and B. carinata into rape, B. napus through interspecific crosses. This achievement was based on the hypothesis that it should be possible to incorporate genes for yellow …

Isolation and Characterization of Active Ingredients from Nigella Sativa for Antibacterial Screening.
… activities of total extract from the seeds of <em>Nigella sativa</em> (Black cumin). In attempts to identify the active ingredients in this extract, the seeds were extracted with hexane. The volatile oil obtained from the crude extract was shown to contain at least three distinct …

The Detection of Vegetation Species in Remote Sensing Imaging
… in particular infestation of wheat crops by black grass, a pernicious weed. This is regarded as the major pest for cereal crops, at least in East Anglia, one that causes significant loss of income for farmers. Although annual rather than perennial, a single back grass plant is able to produce …
