Diets, Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Nutritional Status Among Children, Adolescents and Adults in the Philippines: A Scoping Review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
Across all population and sociodemographic groups in the Philippines, diets lacked diversity and intakes of fruit and vegetables were low. Under‐ and overnutrition are persisting challenges. Rigorous evidence from interventions to improve diet quality and fruit and vegetable intake in the Philippines is urgently needed.

Rare Natural SNP Activates SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM ENLARGER1 to Increase Branch Number and Silique Number on the Main Inflorescence in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus is the second most important oil crop worldwide. Number of primary branches (Branch number, BN) and silique number on the main inflorescence (SMI) are key yield‐related quantitative traits. Here, we cloned a major QTL, qDB.A09, which simultaneously influences BN and SMI.

Trans unsaturated fatty acids : a study of methodology and levels in New Zealand food fats including milkfat : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]

, 1997
Trans fatty acids (TFAs) occur naturally in small amounts in foods such as milk, butter and tallow as a result of biohydrogenation by ruminant gut microflora. They are formed in much larger quantities during chemical hydrogenation of fats and oils.

Synthetic Raphanobrassica Genome Reveals Functional and Evolutionary Insights Into Clubroot Resistance Genes on Chromosome R5

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clubroot, a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, poses a severe threat to global production of Brassicaceae oilseed crops and vegetables. To date, there has been a serious lack of clubroot‐resistant germplasms in Brassica napus (AACC), necessitating the urgent development of novel disease‐resistant germplasm.
