Chromosome‐level assemblies of Amaranthus palmeri, Amaranthus retroflexus, and Amaranthus hybridus allow for genomic comparisons and identification of a sex‐determining region

The Plant Journal, Volume 121, Issue 4, February 2025.
Significance Statement We generated high‐quality genome assemblies for three economically important weeds in the Amaranthus genus. From these, we identified the sex‐determining region in a dioecious species and described important contributors to herbicide resistance in these species: cytochrome P450 gene families and extrachromosomal DNA carrying the ...

Salinity Influenced Proximate, Minerals, Anti‐Nutrients and Phytochemical Composition of Trachyandra ciliata Kunth (Wild Cabbage): A Promising Edible Halophyte

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
Salinity significantly influenced the nutrients, antinutrients, and phytochemical composition of T. ciliata. The control and 50 mM salinity treatments significantly optimized nutrients in the flower buds and leaves. Leaves under low salinity recorded higher moisture and protein whereas high salinity optimized ash content. Flower buds under low salinity

Development of Nutrient‐Rich Injera Using Amaranthus Leaf/Grain and Teff Flours: A Study on Nutritional Value, Sensory Characteristics, and Storage Stability

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Teff (Eragrostis tef, Zucc) is the smallest grain commonly cultivated in Ethiopia and Eritrea and is used mainly to prepare pancake‐like staple food called flatbread (Injera). It has substantial national and global recognition due to its nutraceutical benefits and its gluten‐free nature.
