Lactuca sativa L. losses and wastes as a source of biobased ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The growing global population and increasing consumer focus on healthy eating challenge the agricultural sector to ensure both sustainable food production and safety. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa Mill.), the most cultivated leafy vegetable worldwide, can lose up to 40% of its weight during processing.

pamfit: A new R package for spatially resolved analysis of Imaging PAM photosynthesis–irradiance light curve parameters

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Imaging Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) fluorometry allows spatially resolved measurements of Photosystem II (PSII) fluorescence kinetics through time without disturbing study organisms or their environments. In particular, the use of photosynthesis–irradiance curves (P–I curves) provides detailed information on PSII quantum efficiency ...

Comparison between fluorometry and microscopy‐based phytoplankton assessments in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Protective effect of silk lutein on ultraviolet B-irradiated human keratinocytes

Biological Research, 2013
Carotenoids are efficient antioxidants that are of great importance for human health. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotinoids present in high concentrations in the human retina which are involved in the photoprotection of the human eye.

Creatinine, diet, micronutrients, and arsenic methylation in West Bengal, India. [PDF]

, 2011
BackgroundIngested inorganic arsenic (InAs) is methylated to monomethylated (MMA) and dimethylated metabolites (DMA). Methylation may have an important role in arsenic toxicity, because the monomethylated trivalent metabolite [MMA(III)] is highly toxic ...

Multiple pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and coexisting normal fetus: systematic review and meta‐analysis of clinical outcomes from non‐randomized studies

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Complete hydatidiform mole and coexisting normal fetus (CHMCF) is a rare condition for which there is significant heterogeneity in diagnosis, counseling and management of complications. The objective of this study was to summarize the prevalence of clinical outcomes in reported cases of CHMCF.

Multi‐omics analyses shed lights on the evolution and fruit development of Chinese raspberries (Rubus spp.)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
High‐quality genomes of four wild raspberry species, analysis of their genetic relationships, identification of centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploration of fruit quality regulation, and discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruits provides valuable resources for raspberry breeding ...

A foundation for provitamin A biofortification of maize: genome-wide association and genomic prediction models of carotenoid levels. [PDF]

, 2014
Efforts are underway for development of crops with improved levels of provitamin A carotenoids to help combat dietary vitamin A deficiency. As a global staple crop with considerable variation in kernel carotenoid composition, maize (Zea mays L.) could ...
