Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Prediction of Dry Matter and Starch Content in Cassava Using Optimized Calibration Models. [PDF]

J Food Sci
ABSTRACT Dry matter content (DMC) and starch content (StC) are key quality traits in cassava breeding, yet traditional phenotyping methods are time‐consuming and limit scalability. This study aimed to develop and compare predictive models for DMC and StC using near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, evaluating two devices—a benchtop spectrometer (Büchi ...

Evolution of lysine and arginine biosynthesis revealed by substrate specificity of lysine biosynthetic enzymes in Thermus thermophilus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Two enzymes from the Thermus thermophilus lysine biosynthetic pathway, LysZ and LysY, unexpectedly exhibit substrate promiscuity. They are able to recognize the LysW intermediates utilized by the ArgW‐mediated arginine route, even though the bacterium already possesses the canonical arginine biosynthetic pathway.

Ethephon Promotes Sprouting and Increases Vigor in Yam Seed‐Tubers

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
The yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is of social and economic relevance for small farmers in Northeast Brazil, but its cultivation is hindered by the low quality of propagative material and a long dormancy period exceeding 90 days. This study evaluated the effect of Ethephon doses and different tuber segments of the São Tomé variety on sprouting and seedling ...

Applying large language models to extract information from crop trait prioritization studies

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 176-184, January 2026.
Investigation of farmers', consumers', and other stakeholders' trait preferences is vital for the adoption and impact of improved crop varieties. While qualitative research methods are known to increase the depth and scope of information from respondents, only 5% of previous trait preference studies used qualitative data in their analyses. We show that

Local knowledge enhances the sustainability of interconnected fisheries

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our modelling approach allows managers to compare alternative conservation strategies under different socio‐ecological scenarios, highlighting trade‐offs and guiding investment of effort and resources. While immediately valuable for pirarucu management in the Middle Juruá, the framework scales across tiers of applicability, each requiring progressively
