Home availability of vegetables, barriers to purchasing and preparing vegetables, and vegetable intake in a sample of primarily low-income, Hispanic children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Obesity prevalence in American children disproportionately affects low-income children. Consumption of vegetables is a dietary factor that is often targeted to promote weight loss and decrease risk of obesity, and has shown a relationship ...

Identifying vegetation patterns for a qualitative assessment of land degradation using a cellular automata model and satellite imagery [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 110 (2024) 024136, 2023
We aim to identify the spatial distribution of vegetation and its growth dynamics with the purpose of obtaining a qualitative assessment of vegetation characteristics tied to its condition, productivity and health, and to land degradation. To do so, we compare a statistical model of vegetation growth and land surface imagery derived vegetation indices.

A comparative analysis of small RNA sequencing data in tubers of purple potato and its red mutant reveals small RNA regulation in anthocyanin biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2023
Anthocyanins are a group of natural pigments acting as stress protectants induced by biotic/abiotic stress in plants. Although the metabolic pathway of anthocyanin has been studied in potato, the roles of miRNAs on the metabolic pathway remain unclear ...
