Reprogramming of Tomato Leaf Metabolome by the Activity of Heat Stress Transcription Factor HsfB1
Plants respond to high temperatures with global changes of the transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. Heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) are the core regulators of transcriptome responses as they control the reprogramming of expression of ...

Comparison of plant proximal sensing approaches for nitrogen supply detection in crops
Abstract Nondestructive proximal sensors can be an efficient source of information of N status in crops for localized and rapid adjustment of fertilization applications. The aim of this study was to compare two transmittance/reflectance‐based sensors (SPAD, ASD) and a florescence‐based sensor (Multiplex) in their ability to measure N content in corn ...

Flavonoids are secondary metabolites found in fruit, vegetables, grains, beverages (tea and wine), and also in food by-products. Food by-products have been recognised as significant sources of flavonoids that have been undervalued. Several studies identified that by-products flavonoids content is frequently higher than in the raw source material ...

Beneficial effects of dark chocolate for episodic memory in healthy young adults: a parallel-groups acute intervention with a white chocolate control [PDF]
There is good evidence that cocoa flavonoids can acutely improve cognitive function in humans, possibly via mechanisms such as increased cerebral blood flow. To date, much of the evidence is based on measures of executive function with extracts and cocoa-

Downy mildew resistance and genetic variability in a wild rocket germplasm collection
Abstract One hundred accessions of a “core collection” of Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. and Eruca spp. were screened at seedling stage for resistance to downy mildew. Accessions tested at the seedling stage were assigned to 0–6 interaction phenotypes.
