Interactive effects of cooking method, genotype and environment on nutritional and antinutritional quality of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) seeds

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Quinoa has gained global attention as a climate‐resilient crop with high nutritional value and strong potential to enhance food security. Quinoa seeds are characterized by high‐quality protein with a balanced essential amino acid profile and are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, essential minerals, healthy lipids and bioactive ...

Extremophile Microalgae: the potential for biotechnological application

, 2020
: Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that use sunlight as an energy source, and convert water, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts into algal biomass. The isolation and selection of microalgae, which allow one to obtain large amounts of biomass

Silicon differentially protects PSII and PSI photochemistry and preserves fatty acid metabolism in salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) has been demonstrated to be an important element to enhance crop tolerance against salinity. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying Si's mitigation of salt stress remains insufficiently explored and understood. This study aims to provide new insights into Si's impact on salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.) supplied or not ...

Selective screening: isolation of fungal strains from contaminated soils in Austria

Die Bodenkultur, 2018
Microorganisms are potent contributors to maintaining a safe environment as they are able to degrade organic toxicants. For environmental applications, mostly bacteria are used while fungal strains have received less attention.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Bacillus pumilus isolated from sabkha rhizosphere ameliorates the behavior of the facultative halophyte Hordeum marinum when salt-challenged by improving nutrient uptake and soil health-related traits

Plant Stress
Plant growth-promoting rhizosphere bacteria (PGPR) are increasingly considered as highly efficient bioagents. They confer for instance better salt tolerance to host plants while improving soil enzyme activities and microbiome diversity, which are ...

Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives
