A comprehensive review of the genetic control of cooking time in dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing cooking time could increase dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) consumption. Cooking is an essential processing step needed to unlock the nutrients in dry beans and to make them palatable and safe for consumption. Long cooking times have consequences for dry bean use, especially where cooking fuel cost is high and when people prefer foods that are ...

Genetic diversity for grain Zn concentration in finger millet genotypes: Potential for improving human Zn nutrition

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2016
Nearly half of the world population suffers from micronutrient malnutrition, particularly Zn deficiency. It is important to understand genetic variation for uptake and translocation behaviors of Zn in relevant crop species to increase Zn concentration in

Farmer selection of drought‐tolerant enset landraces reduces trait diversity in drier environments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Drought stress poses a growing threat to food security worldwide. In this study, we investigated the putative drought tolerance traits of enset, a multipurpose staple crop endemic to Ethiopia that sustains over 20 million people. Our findings reveal that enset's domestication has reduced landrace diversity and trait variability, particularly in drier ...

Effects of different oleogelators on the structural properties and composition of iron walnut-oil oleogels

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry
In this study, we compared the quality of iron walnut oil (IWO) oleogels prepared with different oleogelators, including γ-oryzanol/β-sitosterol (OZ-PS), γ-oryzanol/triglyceride (OZ-TC), monoglycerides (MGS), beeswax (BW), beeswax-monoglycerides (BW-MGS),

The Nutrition Transition in High and Low-Income Countries: What are the Policy Lessons? [PDF]

open access: yes
The world has seen a remarkable shift from a period when diets, activity patterns and body composition were characterized by the period termed the receding famine pattern to one dominated by nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NR-NCDs).

Citizen science informs demand‐driven breeding of opportunity crops

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Amid global challenges of food insecurity, poor nutrition, and climate change, neglected crops like amaranth are gaining renewed attention. We studied farmers' preferences for amaranth varieties across diverse geographical contexts to guide targeted breeding.
