Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Scarification and Sucrose Priming Overcome Physical Dormancy in Caesalpinia spinosa (Tara) Seeds from the Peruvian HighlandsWilfredo Ruiz-Camacho, Ítalo Maldonado Ramirez, Juan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira et al.Caesalpinia spinose (tara) is a leguminous tree native to the Peruvian Andes-Amazon region, valued for soil restoration and high tannin content. However, its large-scale propagation is constrained by physical seed dormancy caused by a hard and impermeable seed coat. This study evaluated six pre-germination treatments to break dormancy and enhance early seedling development under local agroclimatic conditions in Magdalena District, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2026 · 1,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Phytobiotic Carica Papaya Seed Extract on Growth Performance, Physiological Parameters, Gastrointestinal and Immune Organs of BroilersNovi Mayasari, Erna Ainal Mardiah, Selly Masella et al.Papaya (Carica papaya) seeds (PS) are known as a potential phytobiotic alternative to Antibiotic Growth Promotor (AGP) in poultry. Papaya seed extract (PSE) contains bioactive compounds such as carpine, chymopapain, and papain. Two hundred one-day-old Cobb strain broiler chicks were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments with four replicates per treatment, and each replicate consisted of ten birds. During the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2026 · 1,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdaptation and Use of the Gangaria Seed Drill for the Improvement of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Cultivation in Niger: Case of the Maradi and Zinder RegionsAbdoulahi Mamane, Arifa Warouma et al.In Niger, peanut cultivation plays a significant role in food security and improving the incomes of rural households, particularly in the Maradi and Zinder regions. However, this crop remains hampered by low mechanization, the use of traditional tools, and inefficient fertilization, resulting in consistently low yields of around 600 to 800 kg/ha. Faced with these constraints, this study aims to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2026 · 2,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Different Extraction Methods on the Quality of Peony Seed Oil and Its Emulsion PropertiesKang Li, Chao Du, Shuxian Pang et al.Peony seed oil, as a functional oil rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidant components, has its extraction process directly affecting the maintenance of bioactive substances and the added value of the product. In this analysis, the effects of wet milling-micronized continuous leaching method (MCI), solvent extraction (SE), soxhlet extraction (SOXE) and ethanol-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis (EAH) on the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 28 Jan 2026 · 1,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePod Shattering and Seed Shedding Resistance Indicators in the Soybean Collection and Hybrid PopulationsSagit Islambek, Didorenko Svetlana, Rinat Kasenov et al.Early pod shatter is a critical factor contributing to soybean yield loss, with potential losses ranging from 34 to 99%. When shatter-resistant genotypes are grown in different agro-climatic zones, there is often a loss of this resistance. Therefore, there is a need for a more detailed critical analysis of breeding methods and strategies to reduce soybean pod shatter. It has … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,022 accessesView PDFCite
