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 ...

Linking Agricultural Trade, Land Demand and Environmental Externalities: Case of Oil Palm in South East Asia [PDF]

Reduction of support measures affecting soybean oil in the major soybean producing countries, as a consequence of WTO rules, coupled with rising demand for palm oil in non-traditional palm oil importing countries may lead to pronounced increases in ...

Identification of microRNAs in normal and mantled oil palm fruit via 454 transcriptome sequencing (P053) [PDF]

, 2011
Small RNAs such as miRNAs and siRNAs play a critical role in post-transcriptional gene regulation and have been shown to control many genes involved in various biological processes including fruit development. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) belongs to

Temperature robustness and viscoelasticity of soy protein‐stabilized palm oil emulsions containing glycerol monostearate and oat fiber

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Most studies of high oil content soy protein‐stabilized emulsions have focused on fluid systems, with limited attention given to the thermo‐mechanical behavior of firm emulsions. This study examined the thermal robustness and mechanical properties of palm oil‐based emulsions stabilized with soy protein isolate, glycerol monostearate

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...
