Vegetable Oil‐Based Materials for Drug Delivery Systems and Wound Dressings

Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
Renewable resources like vegetable oils are increasingly explored for biomaterial production in biomedical applications. Their monoglycerides and triglycerides inherently possess functions or can be chemically modified to introduce functional groups suitable for polymerization, yielding biomaterials with desirable properties such as flexibility ...

Joint QTL mapping and transcriptome sequencing analysis reveal candidate flowering time genes in Brassica napus L

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Optimum flowering time is a key agronomic trait in Brassica napus. To investigate the genetic architecture and genetic regulation of flowering time in this important crop, we conducted quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of flowering time ...

Carbohydrate and lipid composition of vegetables, and bioavalability assessed in a rat model: Impact different cultivation systems [PDF]

, 2011
Environmental as well as cultivation factors may greatly influence the chemical composition of plants. The main factors affecting chemical composition of foodstuff is level and type of fertilizer (conventional and organic cultivation systems), location ...

Cultivating biodiversity: When conservation in agricultural landscapes embodies farmers' values

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to conserve biodiversity in agricultural landscapes across Europe remain insufficient, as biodiversity further declines. This is sometimes ascribed to conservation policy failing to address the meanings and values that farmers attribute to the social and ecological contexts shaping their decisions influencing biodiversity.

Advancing Sclerotinia risk forecasting for winter rapeseed in Germany: integrating crop phenology and disease development into a decision support system

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrating crop phenology and sclerotia germination models into SkleroPro improved Sclerotinia risk prediction accuracy from 34% to 66%, optimizing fungicide timing and supporting sustainable winter rapeseed production. Abstract BACKGROUND Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, threatens winter rapeseed (Brassica napus) production ...

Macrogenomics reveal the effects of inter-cropping perilla on kiwifruit: impact on inter-root soil microbiota and gene expression of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles in kiwifruit

Frontiers in Microbiology
Intercropping systems can improve soil fertility and health, however, soil microbial communities and functional genes related to carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling under the intercropping system of mesquite and perilla have not been studied ...

Greenhouse gas emissions of regionally produced alternative feedstuffs rich in protein for Austrian dairy production [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of this study was to analyse the potential greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) of locally and regionally produced, alternative protein‐rich feedstuffs (APRFs) which can be utilised in dairy cattle feeding as compared to extracted soybean meal (SBME ...

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Unconditional and conditional QTL analyses of seed fatty acid composition in Brassica napus L.

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background The fatty acid composition of B. napus’ seeds determines the oil’s nutritional and industrial values, and affects seed germination. Many studies have reported correlations among C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2 and C18:3 based on phenotypic data ...

Agronomic performance of five rapeseed varieties grown for biodiesel in the northeast of Portugal [PDF]

, 2014
Rapeseed is an important crop for several European countries and for many others such as Canada and China. Rapeseed oil may have several industrial uses (Sonntag, 1995) and shows excellent properties for the manufacture of biodiesel (Körbitz, 1995 ...
