Physical and organoleptic characteristics of Limmu coffee landraces, southwestern Ethiopia

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is one of the world's most valuable agricultural commodities, with Ethiopia recognized for producing high‐quality Arabica coffee. Limmu landrace coffees are prized for their distinctive flavor profiles; however, systematic evaluation of their raw and cup quality traits remains limited.

Endosperm development in Brachypodium distachyon [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2010
Grain development and its evolution in grasses remains poorly understood, despite cereals being our most important source of food. The grain, for which many grass species have been domesticated, is a single-seeded fruit with prominent and persistent endosperm.

Wheat flour particle size: Influence of mill design and effects on quality and performance

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Among the various characteristics of wheat (Triticum aestivum) flour, particle size is of paramount importance globally. The industrial process of separating the three main components (endosperm, bran, and germ) must ensure that the desired quality is delivered to customers through a progressive reduction in the size of the endosperm until the

Endosperm and Imprinting, Inextricably Linked [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2016
![][1] ![][1] ![][1] The endosperm is often viewed as a complicated and rather strange tissue: its genome is triploid, it is formed from a second fertilization event specific to flowering plants, and it is a frequent source of incompatibility between plants, yet ...

Maize VKS1 Regulates Mitosis and Cytokinesis During Early Endosperm Development

The Plant Cell, 2019
A kinesin-14 motor encoded by Vks1 regulates mitosis and cytokinesis during early maize endosperm development and deformities within vks1 endosperms differ, thereby resulting in varied kernel sizes. Cell number is a critical factor that determines kernel

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Esterification enhances carotenoid retention during bread‐making

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Carotenoids are plant‐derived antioxidants that contribute to human health and represent key quality traits in wheat‐based foods. However, they are highly unstable and prone to degradation during processing. Xanthophyll esterification has been identified as a natural mechanism that enhances carotenoid stability during grain storage.

Fermentation techniques for protein enrichment of cassava peel

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The use of agro‐industrial by‐products such as unconventional feeds in animal production is an alternative for reducing the high costs associated with conventional feeds. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of aeration, pH adjustment, the use of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and the amount of urea on the enrichment of ...

Auxin regulates endosperm cellularization in Arabidopsis

bioRxiv, 2017
The endosperm is an ephemeral tissue serving as nutrient source for the developing embryo, similarly to the placenta in mammals. It is derived after fertilization of the central cell in the female gametophyte.

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...
