Diets, fruit and vegetables consumption, and nutritional status in Benin: A scoping review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarised existing literature on diets, fruit and vegetable intake, and nutritional status in Benin. Key knowledge gaps were on the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and differences in fruit and vegetable intake by geographical and socioeconomic characteristics.

Understanding the Evidence Gaps: Diets and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Across Five Diverse Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This perspective article synthesizes findings from scoping reviews examining diet and F&V intake, and interventions to increase F&V consumption among population groups in five countries: Benin, Fiji, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. ABSTRACT Poor dietary quality, particularly inadequate fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, remains a significant ...

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Reduced Susceptibility to Phytophthora in Non‐Transgenic Cacao Progeny Through CRISPR–Cas9 Mediated TcNPR3 Mutagenesis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Black pod disease, caused by a complex of Phytophthora species, poses a severe threat to global cacao production. This study explores the use of CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing to reduce disease susceptibility in Theobroma cacao L. by targeting the TcNPR3 gene, a known negative regulator of plant defence.

Machine Learning‐Driven Construction of High‐Yielding Cucumber Plant Architectures in Greenhouse Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Schematic summary of the machine learning‐driven analysis for high‐yield cucumber architecture. This study employs machine learning methods to analyze key shoot and root traits, building a predictive model for yield. The analysis identifies an optimal plant architecture: a compact and sturdy shoot structure, combined with a narrow yet larger‐diameter ...
