Characterization of the Omnivorous <i>Lygus lineolaris</i> Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Callogenèse et néoformation chez deux espèces de Dioscorea comestibles : D. alata et D. trifida [PDF]
, 1988 La création d'une diversité génétique est nécessaire pour l'amélioration variétale des ignames. La sélection par hybridation est limitée par l'irrégularité ou même l'absence de fructification des clones cultivés. La régénération de cals permettait de contourner les difficultés rencontrées, soit directement par production de variants d'intérêt ...

Comparative Study of the Physicochemical, Functional, Thermal, and Rheological Properties of Pretreated Flours From Dioscorea alata and Dioscorea rotundata [PDF]
Food Sci NutrPretreatments help improve flour quality. The increase in solubility and dispersibility is greater in D. rotundata. D. alata flours are more resistant to shear than D. rotundata flours. All flours degrade after 200°C. D. alata flours are more elastic while D. rotundata flours are more viscous.

The effect of gender on end‐user preferences for yam quality descriptors
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 3890-3904, November 2022., 2022 Sweet taste and mouldability are key quality indicators liked by both females and males. Males prefer yams with longer digestion time while females like aroma of yam. Varieties that are not watery and do not brown are important characteristics during processing. Abstract Improving the effectiveness of breeding programs could be achieved by breeding for

TAXON, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 365-428, April 2021., 2021 Abstract In 1814, A.W. Roth received a herbarium collection of some 1500 plants from Benjamin Heyne. Most of these specimens came from southern India where Heyne had worked as a doctor and naturalist since 1792. Roth wrote up the material in his book Novae plantarum, which was published in 1821.

Development and characterization of biodegradable films from fermented yam (Dioscorea trifida L. f.) [PDF]
African Journal of Food Science, 2019 The objective of this work was to develop and characterize biodegradable starch films at 14 and 21 days of fermentation, aiming to develop packaging with added value. For the extraction of starch, yam tubers were washed, crushed, filtered and fermented for 14 and 21 days, and then filtered and dehydrated. Water-starch-glycerol mixtures were prepared in

Plant Breeding, Volume 139, Issue 3, Page 474-497, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is an important tuber crop with tremendous potential as a functional food in the tropics and subtropics. However, the crop has not shown progressive productivity gain over decades due to various production constraints. This paper reviews the progress achieved in empirical breeding endeavours and the development, status and

Starchy shells: Residue analysis of precolonial northern Caribbean culinary practices
Archaeometry, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 362-380, April 2020., 2020 Determining culinary practices is critical for understanding phytocultural complexes, transported landscapes and human niche constructions. Starch analysis is an exemplary method for reconstructing human–plant dependencies. However, certain types of artefacts from the Greater Caribbean region, such as flaked lithics, lithic griddles, coral artefacts ...

Plant Pathology, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 576-584, April 2020., 2020 The Pacific yam germplasm collection was screened for badnavirus infection using RCA and sequencing, with 35 out of 224 accessions testing positive and two virus species identified, namely DBALV and DBALV2. Abstract Yam is an important food staple in many Pacific Island countries, but its production is limited by several factors including virus ...
