Identification of candidate genes controlling oil content by combination of genome-wide association and transcriptome analysis in the oilseed crop Brassica napus

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Increasing seed oil content is one of the most important targets for rapeseed (Brassica napus) breeding. However, genetic mechanisms of mature seed oil content in Brassica napus (B. napus) remain little known.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of the mechanism difference in heat stress response between indica rice cultivar “IR64” and japonica cultivar “Koshihikari” at the seedling stage

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Heat stress (HS) has become a major abiotic stress in rice, considering the frequency and intensity of extreme hot weather. There is an urgent need to explore the differences in molecular mechanisms of HS tolerance in different cultivars, especially in ...

Raphia sese unconventional oil from the Congo Basin: Comparison between chemical and screw press extraction

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This study highlights the importance of adding value to Raphia sese (raffia) from the Congo Basin, by using a screw press to extract its pulp oil that can be used in agri‐food industry. A 2k factorial experiment was used to study the influence of the intrinsic parameters of the press (rotation speed and diameter of the output die) on the oil ...

Foliar application of wood distillate boosts plant yield and nutritional parameters of chickpea

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 182, Issue 1, Page 57-64, January 2023., 2023
Wood distillate sprayed on foliage of chickpea plants increases the content of most of the amino acids in the seeds, thus providing an effective and sustainable alternative to the consumption of animal‐based products for human nutrition. Abstract In the quest for eco‐friendly products with biostimulant properties, foliar application of wood distillate (

The role of Moringa oleifera in the development of alternative biofuels, under the concept of an integral one‐tree biorefinery: A minireview

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The Moringa oleifera oil tree is commonly known as the ‘tree of life’ or the ‘miracle tree’ owing to its multiple benefits for humans. The different parts that make up this tree (leaves, seeds and bark) have been used to treat various ailments, diseases and wounds. However, in recent years this tree is being used by the scientific community to

Biochar supply‐chain and challenges to commercialization

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 7-23, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Produced through pyrolysis, biochars are used as a soil amendment. Differences in feedstock and processing result in differentiated products which impact their values in different soil conditions. Despite the enormous potential, biochars have not been widely used.
