Effect of household sanitizing agents and electrolyzed water on Salmonella reduction and germination of sunflower and roselle seeds
This study investigated Salmonella reduction in sunflower and roselle seeds using various sanitizing agents including water, water at 55 °C, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), diluted vinegar, acidic electrolyzed water (ACEW), and alkaline electrolyzed water (ALEW). Diluted vinegar containing 1.25% (v/v) acetic acid was the most effective treatment to inactivate Salmonella in sunflower seeds, resulting in a 3.82 log reduction after 15-min treatment. High concentrations of NaOCl (available chlorine concentration (ACC) 1692 mg/L) and ACEW (pH 2.76, oxidation-reduction potential 1093 mV, ACC 48 mg/L) had significantly lower antimi...

Morphological characterization and expression analysis of genes for antioxidants enzymes in gamma rays induced M3 mutants of Sunflower ( < em > Helianthus annuus < /em > L.) cultivar TNAUSUF-7
CONCLUSION: From our results, it can be concluded that the gamma irradiations was effective in creating variations in terms of several traits in sunflower. Many desirable traits like reduced days to 50% flowering and maturity, increased fertility %, increased antioxidant activity of oil was observed in M3 lines. These M3 lines have the potential to be utilized as an inbred line in sunflower hybrid development or it could be used as a source of desirable traits in sunflower breeding programs.PMID:35394407 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2022.2063963 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)

Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 1503: Narrow-Band Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) Effects on Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) Sprouts with Remote Monitoring and Recording by Internet of Things Device
oen
Previous studies have demonstrated that light quality critically affects plant development and growth; however, the response depends upon the plant species. This research aims to examine the effects of different light wavelengths on sunflower (Helianthus annuus) sprouts that were stimulated during the night. Natural light and narrow-band light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were used for an analysis of sunflower sprouts grown under full light and specific light wavelengths. Sunflower seeds were germinated under different light spectra including red, blue, white, and natural light. Luminosity, temperature, and humidity sens...

Effects of emollient therapy with sunflower seed oil on neonatal growth and morbidity in Uttar Pradesh, India: a cluster-randomized, open-label, controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: SSO therapy improved neonatal growth, and reduced morbidities when applied exclusively, across the facility-community continuum of care at population-level. Further research is needed to improve demand for recommended therapy inside hospital as well as in community settings, and to confirm these results in other settings. Clinical Trial Registry: The trial was registered at the ISRCTN (ISRCTN38965585) and CTRI (CTRI/2014/12/005282) registries with WHO UTN # U1111-1158-4665.PMID:34982820 | DOI:10.1093/ajcn/nqab430 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2021 Dec 6;229:113048. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.113048. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAluminum (Al3+) stress restricts plant seed germination and seedling growth seriously. Here, the sunflower "S175″ variety was used to explore the technique of improving seed vigor under Al3+ stress and investigate the effect of diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6) on physiological characteristics in sunflower seeds during germination under Al3+ stress. The results showed that 3.0 mmol·L-1 Al3+ treatment significantly suppressed the sunflower seed germination and seedling growth. Al3+ stress significantly increa...
