Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.

Phenolic Profile and Susceptibility to Fusarium Infection of Pigmented Maize Cultivars

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Maize is a staple food source in the world, whose ancient varieties or landraces are receiving a growing attention. In this work, two Italian maize cultivars with pigmented kernels and one inbred line were investigated for untargeted phenolic profile, in

Molecular Palaeontology Prospects From Exceptionally Preserved Eocene Brackish‐Water Bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis (Venerida: Corbiculidae) From Hokkaido, Japan

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This study reports the exceptional preservation of the Eocene freshwater bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis from Hokkaido, Japan. Multimodal analyses reveal that both the aragonitic shell mineralogy and the delicate organic periostracum retain their original structural and chemical characteristics after millions of years.

Evaluating the character and preservation of DNA within allophane clusters in buried soils on Holocene tephras, northern New Zealand [PDF]

, 2012
Clay minerals possess sorptive capacities for organic and inorganic matter, including DNA (Lorenz and Wackernagel, 1994), and hence reduce the utilization and degradation of organic matter or DNA by microorganisms. Buried allophane-rich soils on tephras (

Human auditory ossicles as an alternative optimal source of ancient DNA

bioRxiv, 2019
DNA recovery from ancient human remains has revolutionized our ability to reconstruct the genetic landscape of the past. Ancient DNA research has benefited from the identification of skeletal elements, such as the cochlear part of the osseous inner ear ...

Understanding pre‐eclampsia and fetal growth restriction at high altitude: A narrative review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Pre‐eclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are among the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Both conditions are more frequent and severe at high altitudes due to physiological changes in oxygen availability and vascular adaptation.

Leprosy in a Lombard-Avar cemetery in central Italy (Campochiaro, Molise, 6th–8th century AD): ancient DNA evidence and demography

Annals of Human Biology, 2017
Background: The study of past infectious diseases increases knowledge of the presence, impact and spread of pathogens within ancient populations. Aim: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to examine bones for the presence of Mycobacterium leprae ...

Ancient DNA sheds light on the genetic origins of early Iron Age Philistines

Science Advances, 2019
Bronze and Iron Age genomes suggest a European-related gene flow coincided with the Philistines arrival in ancient Ashkelon. The ancient Mediterranean port city of Ashkelon, identified as “Philistine” during the Iron Age, underwent a marked cultural ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community abundance, functions, and symbiotic interactions revealed by root metatranscriptomes

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Paradigm shift: PCR‐free methods reveal 6–15‐fold higher arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal abundance than metabarcoding, exposing systematic underestimation across decades of research. Predictive power: AM fungal abundance serves as a community‐level trait that predicts crop yield under drought conditions.
