Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Buck Wheat: Nutritional, Bioactive Characteristics, Health Benefits, and Side Effects

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Micronutrient deficits have resulted from an over‐reliance on a small number of cereal crops for food security. The agricultural sector faces severe sustainability issues due to the rapid growth of the world's population and sudden climatic changes.

Granule-bound starch synthase: structure, function, and phylogenetic utility [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1998
Interest in the use of low-copy nuclear genes for phylogenetic analyses of plants has grown rapidly, because highly repetitive genes such as those commonly used are limited in number. Furthermore, because low-copy genes are subject to different evolutionary processes than are plastid genes or highly repetitive nuclear markers, they provide a valuable ...

Identification of Granule-Bound Starch Synthase in Potato Tubers [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1986
Starch granules isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers were extracted with sodium dodecyl sulfate and the extract was analyzed. A major protein with a molecular weight of 60,000 daltons was detected. This protein was purified by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis and specific antibodies were prepared.

Sucrose Synthase, Starch Accumulation, and Tomato Fruit Sink Strength [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1993
Contrasting evidence has accumulated regarding the role of acid invertase and sucrose synthase in tomato fruit sink establishment and maintenance. In this work the relationships among the activities of sucrose synthase and acid invertase, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv UC-82B fruit growth, and starch accumulation were analyzed in fruit at 0 to 39 d ...

Dextran sodium sulfate confounds causal role of periodontitis in inflammatory bowel disease

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging evidence supports a bidirectional link between periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To investigate this relationship, experimental models commonly use dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce colitis. However, DSS is presumed to selectively affect the colon, and its potential off‐target effects on the oral ...

Unraveling the effect of drought and heat stresses on grain quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Drought stress (DS) and heat stress (HS) have adverse effects on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth, serving as the primary constraints that significantly limit grain yield.
