AROMA COMPOUNDS OF MALTED ACHA (DIGITARIA EXILIS, STAPF) [PDF]
Journal of Food Quality, 2004 ABSTRACTThe flavor extract components of malted ‘acha’ (Digitaria exilis), which have not been studied prior to this report, were determined by gas chromatography with a mass selective detector. Volatile compounds were identified with a NBS 43 K.1 mass spectra library by Probability Based on Matching (PBM).

Aminoisothiazolamides, a new class of potent inhibitors of lysyl‐tRNA synthetase
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3956-3983, July 2025.The present work covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess an aminoisothiazolamide scaffold as a structural key feature. Lysyl‐tRNA synthetase 1 (KRS1) was identified as the biochemical mode‐of‐action. Based on optimized and tailored synthetic approaches, a broader SAR study was carried out delivering some lead structures that ...

The biocultural heritage and changing role of indigenous yams in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 719-733, May 2025.Global yam production is centred on West Africa, but there are significant knowledge gaps about farm‐level diversity across much of the region, and especially in Guinea. Although yam production is increasing in Guinea, in the longer term, varietal diversity and the sustainability of agri‐systems are at risk.
