Preharvest supplemental lighting enhances productivity and modulates postharvest quality in hydroponically grown Apulian unripe melon ‘Scopatizzo’ (Cucumis melo L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

Joint and Independent Associations of Dietary Antioxidant Intakes With Advanced Stages in Older Patients With Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) progression in an older population. Using data from NHANES 2001–2020, we analyzed 4974 adults aged ≥ 60 years with CKM syndrome. The CDAI was calculated from the intake of six dietary antioxidants.

Effects of light intensity and the remaining nitrate concentration on the beta-carotene accumulation of a wild Dunaliella salina strain isolated from the saline soil

Microbiology Research, 2015
An isolated Dunaliella salina strain from northern Thailand was cultured in modified Johnson’s medium in column photobioreactor. The beta-carotene accumulation mainly depended on the quantities of cells entering into carotenogenesis condition that was ...

A novel approach to estimate non‐algal particle absorption for improved retrieval of pigment concentrations in coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Phytoplankton play a central role in ocean biogeochemistry and understanding their composition and variability is critical for monitoring marine ecosystem dynamics. Continuous spectrophotometric measurements (using a Seabird Sci. AC‐S) along ship tracks enable high‐resolution measurements of particle spectral absorption (apλ$$ {a}_p\left ...

Unveiling the health‐promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this study, we evaluated traditional Sudanese sorghum varieties grown in eastern deltas to better understand their natural health‐promoting properties. We found

Protective Effects of Bee Venom (Apis mellifera) Against Cadmium‐Induced Hepatorenal Toxicity, Oxidative Stress, and Anxiety‐Like Behavior in Rats

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent environmental heavy metal and a major public health concern because it persists in the body for long periods and gradually accumulates in vital organs, particularly the liver, kidneys, and brain. Chronic Cd exposure promotes the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately leads to ...
