[Method] At the end of flowering stage, the rape plants were separately sprayed with 1, 2, 100 and 200μmol/L of ABA; photosynthetic parameters, water use efficiency （WUE）, yield and yield components of the rape plants were investigated 0, 5, 10 and 15 d later, respectively. [Result] ABA treatment with different concentrations significantly changed pod photosynthetic parameters and yield components of rapeseed. Low concentra- tions of ABA could improve pod＇s net photosynthetic rate and yield components while high concentrations had the contrary effect. [Conclusion] Whether ABA func- tioned in inhibiting or promoting role might depend on the interaction between endogenous hormone levels and exogenous ABA concentration. Improvement of WUE would be the main reason for yield increasing.展开更多

Results:All the bioactives analyzed were higher in bark（B） than empty pods（EP）[TPC:B （574.51±16.11）;EP（96.80±3.45） mg GAE/g.TFC:B（94.71±7.65）;EP（24（?）87±20.45） mg RE/g. Proanthocyanidins:B（2.81±0.31）;EP（1.25±0.01） mg LE/100 g DM]except flavonoids.Both the extracts showed higher quenching capacity on DPPH and ABTS（DPPH:B（0.21±0.01）;EP（1.51±0.17） g extract/g DPPH.ABTS:B（111 519.14±79 340.91）;EP（80 232.55±32 894.12） mmol TE/g） with the FRAP of B（84 515.63±3 350.69） and EP（47 940.79±1 257.60） mmol Fe（（?））/g.Iron chelation was not observed.In addition,they showed lower quenching activity on OH<sup>?</sup>（B（48.95±1.72）;EP（34.94±1.62）%） and equivalent quenching on O<sub>2</sub><sup>?</sup>（B（53.47±3.92）;EP（24.41±2.61）%）,NO（B（49.04±5.04）; EP（51.00±5.13）%）,peroxidation inhibition（B（67.50±5.50）;EP（55.l±2.3）%） and antihaemolytic potential（B（87.60±6.84）%） towards authentic antioxidant standards.Interestingly,Empty pod extracts are devoid of antihaemolytic activity.Both the extracts showed dose dependent DNA protection.Besides this,bark and empty pod extracts exhibited dual inhibiting potential againstα-amylase andα-glucosidase enzymes.Conclusions:On summarization,it insinuated that both bark and empty pods can be used for the preparation of antioxidant/nutraceutical supplements and in anti-diabetic formulations.展开更多

文摘The world’s production of cocoa highly has grown since 1960.In West Africa,the production reached about 3,000,000 tons in 2012.More than 50%of the world’s production of cocoa comes nowadays from Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire is the biggest producer.After harvesting,the empty shells,considered as non-useful wastes,are abandoned in the fields where they become a source of pollution.That yields millions of tons of biomass that can be converted into charcoal,instead of being sources of pollution.In the present work,the drying kinetics of the empty wet shells were studied.Then,charcoal production by pyrolysis of those empty shells of cocoa pods was performed,using a carbonisation stove fitted with a chimney.The study showed that the empty shells have a high moisture content.The different phases of the drying were observed.The study compared the drying rates and the diffusion coefficients of a small sample and a big sample.Two experiences of carbonisation of the empty shells were successfully carried out.For the first experiment,the pyrolysis temperatures were recorded and the charcoal mass efficiency calculated.For the second experiment,the temperatures were higher and the result was colored charcoals.The colorations disappeared after some hours.
