Effect of in situ amylase and fermented maize starch on texture and after‐cooking storability of lafun dough

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lafun is made by fermenting and drying cassava chunks, which are then milled into flour and cooked into dough. Its quality characteristics are variety‐dependent, while it may become too soft or even liquefy during storage, leading to rejection by end‐users.

The social diffusion pathways of sorghum varieties and associated knowledge in the Mount Kenya region [PDF]

, 2014
Small-scale farming systems present a major interest for the conservation of crop diversity in situ. In these systems, farmers act on crop diversity through their management practices, mainly seed selection and exchange.

High-Temperature Stress Alleviation by Selenium Nanoparticle Treatment in Grain Sorghum

ACS Omega, 2018
The role of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) in the mitigation of high-temperature (HT) stress in crops is not known. The uptake, toxicity and physiological and biological effects of Se-NPs under HT were investigated in grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Drought Stresses on Seed Germination and Early Growth of Maize and Sorghum

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Seeds of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.] were submitted to different osmotic potential levels induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) with the objective of evaluating the effects of drought stress on seed germination and early

Comparing autumn duck use of intensely managed wetlands in Michigan using a novel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Camera traps, a relatively novel method for assessing waterfowl use of wetlands, show ducks in southeastern Michigan are influenced by hunting disturbance, vegetation type, season progression, and diel period. Abstract Socioeconomic value derived from duck hunting has contributed to autumn habitat use becoming a particular focus for the natural ...
