As a core component of seed certification programs, it verifies the proportion of pure seeds in a given sample and detects contamination by other crop seeds, weed seeds, and inert material. ...
A new Hexane and VOC leak detection technique using OGI is gaining favor among oilseed producers worldwide. ...

Plants from contaminated soil produced more biomass and heavier seeds. The highest Cd concentrations were detected in rapeseed stems and leaves: Cu in roots and Zn in seeds and stems with leaves. Rapeseed in some cases exhibited translocation factor values for single plant parts greater than unity, whereas the bioconcentration factor was always ...

USEPA Method 1623 is the standard method in the United States for the detection of Cryptosporidium in water samples, but quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is an alternative technique that has been successfully used to detect Cryptosporidium in aqueous matrices. This study examined various modifications to a commercial nucleic acid ...
Concentration of TCS in all samples of soybean seeds was below method detection limit (i.e., 2.8 ng/g dw). The present study also examined the concentration of TCS and TCC in edible portions of green pepper, carrot, cucumber, tomato, radish, and lettuce plants grown in a field amended with biosolids. TCS was only detected in cucumber and radish ...
A high oleic:linoleic acid ratio (O/L) in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds is controlled primarily by two recessive genes, ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B (ol1 and ol2). ...
Although mutagenesis strategies have been successful in developing soybean germplasm with elevated 18:0 levels in the seed oil, the specific gene mutations responsible for this phenotype were not known. ...
The objective of this study was to determine whether analyses of farmer-grown soybean seed samples could detect significant regional differences in soybean quality traits. Through analysis of 2706 farmer volunteered soybean samples representing harvests from 2003–2005, we found significant year and region effects on seed quality. An independent ...
Rice cultivars included ‘Cheniere’ and ‘Wells’ seeded at 162, 323, and 646 seeds m–2. Nitrogen was applied before flooding at 67, 134, and 202 kg ha–1. No response to soil texture and no interaction between seeding rate and N rate were detected for the parameters examined. The lowest applied N rate had lower yield than the other ...
