Identification of alleles of carotenoid pathway genes important for zeaxanthin accumulation in potato tubers [PDF]

, 2010
We have investigated the genetics and molecular biology of orange flesh colour in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). To this end the natural diversity in three genes of the carotenoid pathway was assessed by SNP analyses.

Cross‐regional and temporal generalizability of portable visible spectroscopy for olive maturity classification

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Olive maturity governs lot destination and the yield–quality trade‐off in olive oil production, yet it is still monitored by subjective visual scoring of the Jaén index. Spectroscopic alternatives have relied mainly on near‐infrared instruments, with scarce evidence from Brazilian orchards and almost no evaluation of spatial or ...

Bioactive Natural Products in Cardiovascular Disease: Focus on Thrombotic Events

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
An overview of the role of natural products (NP) in cardiovascular disease prevention, highlighting key mechanisms of action: including antiplatelet, antithrombotic, anti‐inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Additionally, it illustrates the integration of diet–drug interactions, nutritional epigenetics, and the role of artificial intelligence in ...

African perceptions of female attractiveness [PDF]

, 2012
Little is known about mate choice preferences outside Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic societies, even though these Western populations may be particularly unrepresentative of human populations.

Protective Potentials of Natural Products Against Vascular Dementia: A Comprehensive Review of Experimental Studies

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular dementia (VaD), accounting for up to 20% of dementia cases globally, is primarily driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which leads to progressive cognitive impairment. Despite the increasing prevalence of VaD, effective treatments remain limited.

Mapping Scytonemin Pigment Content and Biocrust Functional Indicators Using High‐Resolution Multispectral Imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

Non-Invasive Spectroscopic Determination of the Skin and Blood Carotenoids of Term and Preterm Infants in the First Month of Life and the Influence of Free Radical-Mediated Diseases

Life
Postpartum adaptation causes an increased formation of free radicals (FRs) in the organism, which can lead to development of various FR-mediated diseases (FRMDs) in the newborn.

Plant‐derived nanovesicles as potential drug delivery systems for topical use: Emerging applications in dermatology and cosmetology

VIEW, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are naturally secreted by fruit, vegetables, seeds, leaves and other natural sources. Used as drug delivery systems, they can combine intrinsic therapeutic activity, enhanced skin permeation and cargo‐carrying capacity, suitable for dermatological and cosmetic applications including hydration, antioxidant/anti ...
