Results showed that plants treated with salicylic acid at 200 ppm (after transaction with NPK) achieved the highest value of all morphological characteristics of plants i.e. plant height, number of leaves per plant, flowering duration, number of bulblets per plant, bulb diameter, bulb fresh weight as well as fresh and dry weight of leaves beside chemical content of chlorophyll a,b and carotenoids in addition to the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compared to the control. Applying salicylic acid at 100 ppm (after transaction with NPK) had the highest stimulate effect on fresh, dry weight, diameter and longevity of cut flower, also, it had a strong effect in increasing fresh, dry and length of scape of flowers with raising chemical traits. This experiment clarified the importance of natural materials for increasing the efficiency of the vegetative and flower qualities of Narcissus tazetta.","PeriodicalId":90815,"journal":{"name":"Current science international","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69656703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the present study undertaking to investigate the nutritional value, sensory characteristics of gluten free pan bread prepared red kidney beans, rice, sorghum, cassava, psyllium and doum fruit powder which is suitable to be incorporated into celiac disease diets. This investigation was carried out to study the possibility of utilization doum powders to improve the nutrition value in gluten free pan bread. Four formula levels of substitution 5% doum formula (1), 10%doum formula (2), 15% doum formula (3) and 20%doum formula (4) were used. Physico-chemical and sensorial analysis of different raw materials and formulas were done. The obtained results revealed that red kidney bean had the highest contents of protein (26.39) and cassava had the highest contents of carbohydrates 92.16%. The highest values of fat and fiber were noticed in the psyllium flour while ash content was in the doum powder. The protein, ash and crude fiber contents in 20% doum substituted (formula (4) were increased by 12.08 , 36.46 and 167.11% respectively in relative to the control (2) On the other hand, total carbohydrates content decreased in the same formula by 6.50%. It was noticed that increase the doum levels in the formulation, significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased K, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe and Zn content in pan bread formulas compared to that of control. Specific volume was decreased in 20% doum (3.68 cm/g) in relative to the control sample (4.05 cm/g). It was also observed that with increasing the doum powder levels in the pan bread formula, hardness and chewiness were increased. Meanwhile, resilience, cohesiveness and springiness were decreased with increasing the doum levels in the pan bread formulae. Substitution of doum powder up to 10 % was acceptable by panelists. It could be concluded that consuming doum powder gluten free pan bread could provide children with part of their daily requirements of protein, fiber, calcium, iron and zinc in celiac diets.","PeriodicalId":90815,"journal":{"name":"Current science international","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69657135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the effect of foliar application with Potassium sulphate K2SO4 at (2 and 3%), putrescine (PUT) at (50 and 100 ppm), a mixture of (putrescine (PUT) at 50 ppm + Potassium sulphate (K2SO4) 2%) and a mixture of (putrescine (PUT) at 100 ppm + Potassium sulphate (K2SO4)3%) compared with control treatment (untreated tree) on vegetative growth, fruit set, fruit size, yield, fruit quality of washington navel orange trees to improved fruit quality and yield in quantity and quality. The result showed that treatment with foliar application with a combination of (PUT) at 100 ppm + (K2SO4) 3% gave the highest values of vegetative growth (shoot length (cm), leaves number / shoot), fruit set (%) , fruits retention (%), yield /tree and yield T/ha, number of fruits/ tree, weight of fruits (g), Juice volume (cm), fruit pulp weight (g), fruit length (cm) and fruits size (cm) , peel thickness (mm), Chlorophyll (a) & (b) & (a + b) (mg/g fresh wt), vitamin C content (mg / 100mL juice), T.S.S%, and T.S.S /acidity %,Total protein (%),Total carbohydrates (mg/g), and total sugars (%), while, recorded the lowest fruits drop(%), softening (%), juice total acidity %, Moreover, increased leaf mineral contents (N, P, K, and Fe, Zn ppm)as compared with other treatments including control trees during three seasons. Foliar application of (PUT) at 100 ppm recorded the highest significant values of shoot diameter (mm), Carotenoids (mg/g fresh wt), peel weight (g), fruit set and decreased fruit drop percentage, softening (%), acidity % as compared with control trees.
