The present investigation aims at evaluating the proximate composition of grains of twelve amaranth cultivars. In addition, the nitrate reductase (NR) activity from the leaves of amaranth plants was standardized by an in vivo method. The genetic potential of NR activity in twelve amaranth cultivars was also estimated. Further, it was desired to know the distributio...

The present investigation aims at evaluating the proximate composition of grains often released and promising eultivars of green gram. In addition, the nitrate reductase (NR) activity from the trifoliate leaves of green gram seedlings was standardized by an in vivo method. The nitrate reductase activity in the leaves of ten green gram eultivars was also examined an...

The present investigation involves the nutritional evaluation of grains of different maturity group pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] genotypes. In addition, nitrate reductase (NR) assay from the trifoliate leaves of pigeonpea plants was standardized by an in vivo method. The nitrate reductase enzymatic potential in the leaves of fourteen pigeonpea genoty...

The proximate composition of whole sesame seeds of genotyes under study contained: moisture, 9.3 to 10.9; crude fat, 46.6 to 52.4; crude fibre, 2.0 to 4.8 and total carbohydrate, 7.3 to 12.2 percent. The genotype JLS- 9707-2 showed the highest oil content of 52.4 percent followed by genotypes Hawari with 51.3 percent and JLT-7 with 50.3 percent. Thus, these g...

The present investigation aims at evaluating the physical parameters of wheat grains and nutritional evaluation and chapati quality of wheat flours of fourteen cultivars of Triticum aestivum, T. durum and T. dicoccum wheats The evaluation of the physical parameters of wheat grains of the above three ypes indicated significant cultivar differences in yellow berry i...

The present investigation aims at evaluating the proximate composition of grains of seventeen pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) genotypes. In addition, the nitrate reductase (NR) activity from the trifohate leaves of pigeonpea plants was standardized by an in vivo method. The nitrate reductase activity in the leaves of seventeen pigeonpea genotypes was also ex...

In the present investigation entitled “Nutritional Status of Chenopodium ambrosioides grown in Kangra Valley” the leaf samples of Chenopodium ambrosioides collected from twelve locations of Kangra valley were evaluated for various biochemical and phytochemical constituents of quality significance. Significant variation in biochemical constituents among various ...
