Excellent.  I write you from the land of houmus, so I should know.  It's actually a paste made of chickpeas, very natural, and peas are very healthy.  Like all Weight Watchers recommended food, you have to eat a specific portion.  I think WW recommend 1-2 tablespoons a day.  Otherwise it's very fattening.  Goes wonderfully spread on bread or with salad.\n\nHoumus is traditionally eaten with pita bread, but take into account that pita is one of the most fattening things there are.  It's like condensed bread, so 1/4 of 1 pita is equivalent in calories to 1 bread roll or 2 slices of bread.

To clarify how an alien addition and substitution lines works,For it a  greenhouse bioassay was developed that consistently ranked four small grains in their correct order of susceptibility to take-all in the field (wheat > barley > rye = oat) (4). This assay was used to evaluate several wheats that carry alien chromosomes. Single plants were grown in a 1:1 (v:v) mixture of pasteurized soil (Kennebeck silty clay loam) and vermiculite in plastic tubes (2.5 cm in diameter and 12.5 cm long). Experiments included 10 tubes per entry-treatment (inoculated or non-inoculated) per replication and 4 replications. The experimental design was a randomized split-plot with the accessions as main-plot treatments and presence or absence of inoculum as sub-plot treatments .Inoculated tubes each received three oat kernels colonized by G. graminis var. tritici introduced 1 cm below seed level .After 4 weeks at 20±5°C, fresh weights of plant parts (10 plants per treatment per replication) above the soil level were measured and losses in fresh weight calculated.\nFour sets of wheat-alien chromosome addition and substitution lines of species with resistance to take-all were obtained from the Wheat .. The sets were: (i) wheat (cv. Chinese Spring)-Hordeum vulgare (cv. Betzes) disomic addition lines; (ii) wheat (cv. Chinese Spring)-Hordeum chilense disomic addition lines; (iii) wheat (various lines)-H. villosa disomic addition and substitution lines; and (iv) wheat (cv. Chinese Spring)-H. villosa disomic addition lines. Three of the four sets were not complete. Cytogenetic analysis revealed that two addition lines of Set i (chromosomes 1H and 7H) and two addition lines of Set ii (2Hch and 3Hch) had only 42 chromosomes. For Set iii, addition and substitution lines for 1V, 2V, and 7V were not available. Parental lines and "Don" oats were used as controls.Each set of addition and substitution lines, along with the appropriate controls, was evaluated in its own experiment. Within an experiment, 80 seeds of each entry (line or control) were used (10 in non-inoculated tubes and 10 in inoculated tubes in each of 4 replications). All five wheat-barley disomic chromosome addition lines were more susceptible [82 to 90% loss in fresh weight, LSD (P = 0.05) = 10.1] than the barley parent (Betzes = 36%) and two of them (2H and 3H) had significantly more loss (90%) than the wheat parent (Chinese Spring = 78%). In another experiment, there were no differences among all five wheat-H. chilense disomic chromosome addition lines [77 to 88%; LSD (P = 0.05) = 13.7] and they were as susceptible as the wheat parent (79%). In a third experiment (Set iii), H. villosa [30%; LSD (P = 0.05) = 8.16] was more resistant than barley (Betzes = 47%); however, all four wheat-H. villosa disomic chromosome addition and two substitution lines (4V and 5V) were more susceptible (85 to 93% loss) than the wheat check (76%). Substitution lines 3V and 6V were as susceptible (75 to 80%) as wheat. In a fourth experiment involving the complete set of wheat-H. villosa disomic chromosome addition lines (Set iv), improved levels of resistance over that of the wheat parent [77% loss; LSD (P = 0.05) = 14.9] were not detected in any of the chromosome addition lines (74 to 90%).In summary, the bioassay used in this study was a rapid, accurate way for screening accessions for susceptibility to take-all in the greenhouse. None of the addition or substitution lines had improved levels of resistance even though their resistant parents had significantly less take-all than wheat. In the cases where a complete set of lines was not available, any genes that might confer resistance may be on a chromosome missing from the set. Alternatively, take-all resistance in these species may be polygenic with genes on different chromosomes or it may be masked by the wheat genome. Therefore, transfer of take-all resistance from H. vulgare, H. chilense, or H. villosa to wheat may not be easily accomplished.

the proportion for the best soil medium to plant in is 30% OM (organic matter), that is, 30% humus! this is actually the proportion for loam soils where plants grows best!!!  =)

Imbibition is the adsorption of water by hydrophilic colloids. Matrix potential contributes significantly to water in such substances. Examples of plant material which exhibit imbibition are dry seeds before germination\n\nDifferent types of organic substances have different imbibing capacities. Proteins have a very high imbibing capacity, starch less and cellulose least. That is why proteinaceous pea seeds swell more on imbibition than starchy wheat seeds.\n\nImbibition of water increases the volume of the imbibant which results in imbibitional pressure. This pressure can be of tremendous magnitude. This fact can be demonstrated by the splitting of rocks by inserting dry wodden stalks in the crevices of rocks and soaking them in water.\n\nOsmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute potential to a region of high solute potential (or equivalently, from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential). The semipermeable membrane must be permeable to the solvent, but not to the solute, resulting in a pressure gradient across the membrane. Osmosis is a natural phenomenon. However, it can be artificially opposed by increasing the pressure in the section of high solute concentration with respect to that in the low solute concentration. The force per unit area required to prevent the passage of solvent through a selectively-permeable membrane and into a solution of greater concentration is equivalent to the turgor pressure. Osmotic pressure is a colligative property, meaning that the property depends on the concentration of the solute but not on its identity.

Chickpea being a legume is a nitrogen-fixing plant. It is a "break" crop against take-all and Cereal Cyst Nematode (eelworm) and enhances cereal yield. Conventional grain harvesters can be used to harvest chickpeas. Chickpeas are easier to harvest than field peas. The nutritional quality of the stubble is better than cereal stubble due to the protein content of the grain on the ground and the digestibility of the straw\n\nPulses are low fat, high fibre, no cholesterol, low glycemic index, high protein, high nutrient foods. They are excellent foods for people managing their diabetes, heart disease or coeliac disease. Pulses are also good for people who want to eat healthy food to help reduce their risk of heart disease or diabetes. Additionally, pulses can help people concerned with weight control.

Some seeds are in dormancy and soaking them overnight will remove the chemical that is responsible for that dormancy. Also this will help in germinating the seeds at soils at the same time because they all have the same chance of getting water. Again you may need to soak them in warm water because the weather outside is not suitable for germination and good luck.

try gene silencing. do some prelim studies on it. it's about masking a particular (usually harmful) gene so that it is not expressed. eg. khesari (type of lentil in India) flour (besan) is used in roadside snack stalls. this lentil causes paralysis on long term use. so it is suggested that this be used only as fodder. if the gene responsible for the expression or production of the paralysing toxin is masked, it could be easily used for human consumption.\nthis method is also used to produce fruits with long shelf-life (gene for ripening hormone- C2H2 masked).\nbest of luck.

Season \n\nThe crop requires a cool climate during germination and seedling growth. Seedlings tolerate frosts moderately well until they reach the four to six leaf stage of development. It requires warm weather from the seedling stage up to flowering stage and warm and sunny days during flowering to maturity. High humidity accompanied with cloudy weather and rainfall at the time of flowering results in poor seed set. The amount of linoleic acid decreases with high temperatures at maturity. Sunflower is a photo-insensitive crop, therefore, it can be grown successfully in any season viz., Kharif, Rabi and spring throughout India. It takes about 80-90 days in Kharif, 105-130 days in Rabi and 100-110 days in spring season. Sunflower, unlike most other crops, is not affected with the season and day length. With the exception of freezing temperatures, the sowing of sunflower can be done in any month of the year. However, experimental results have shown that the optimum time of sowing of sunflower in the north for Kharif, Rabi and Zaid crops is the first fortnight of July, second fortnight of October and the first fortnight of March, respectively. Sowing sunflower earlier or later than these periods is disadvantageous to this crop. If Kharif crop of sunflower is sown in June, it suffers from lodging, as heading stage coincides with the heavy rain period of early September. The Rabi crop sown late in December or January does not make proper germination and growth and heads of smaller size are produced. Similarly Zaid crop sown late in April suffers from heavy rains at harvest time which hampers proper harvesting and threshing of the produce.

Well, your question isn't all that clear, but this is what I found.  Take a look at the whole page.  This is a part of it.\n\nApiogalacturonan \n\nApiogalacturonans are present in the walls of some aquatic monocots including Lemna and Zostera. The backbone is substituted with β-D-Apif and β-D-Apif-(1,3')-β-D-Apif-(1, side chains (see right figure). The backbone of these polysaccharides is resistant to fragmentation by microbial EPGs.\n\nEnzymes that fragment HG (endo and exo polygalacturonases and lyases) are secreted by many plant pathogens. The oligogalacturonide fragments generated have been shown to induce several plant defence responses (see Plant Pathogens).

It is better to use the actual seeds, they contain more fiber.  If you use 2 teaspoons and grind them you'll be okay.
