  3. This article presents various experiments conducted under semi-controlled conditions to determine the effects of temperature on germination, phenology, growth and freezing in Chenopodium quinoa, a pseudocereal originating from the cold and dry…
  4. An agro-climatic suitability library for crop production was generated by using climatic data sets from 20 to 33 years for 41 meteorological stations in the Bolivian Altiplano. Four agro-climatic indicators for the region were obtained by validated…
  5. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is adapted to the harsh environments of the Andean Altiplano region. Its seeds have a well-balanced amino acid composition and exceptionally high protein content with respect to human nutrition. Quinoa grain is a…
  6. A nano-HPLC electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-ESI-MS/MS) approach was applied to a complex crude triterpene saponin extract of Chenopodium quinoa seed coats. In ESI-MS/MS spectra of triterpene saponins, characteristic…

    There is ample agricultural information about the quinua, there is however, very limited data about its post-harvest treatment and industrialization. This exploratory study about the .Piartal. variety of the quinua, which is grown in the Department…
  8. The nucleolus organizer region (NOR) and 5S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are valuable as chromosome landmarks and in evolutionary studies. The NOR intergenic spacers (IGS) and 5S rRNA nontranscribed spacers (NTS) were PCR-amplified and sequenced from…
  9. The present study includes a first report of downy mildew caused by Peronospora farinosa f.sp. chenopodii Byford on Chenopodium quinoa Willd. from India. Thirty-four exotic accessions of Chenopodium spp. comprising seven of wild type and 27…
  10. Producers in developing countries are increasingly becoming integrated in international supply chains. As individual producers are too small to make the connection with (international) consumer markets, collecting and marketing of farm products as…
