Maize Lethal Necrosis disease: review of molecular and genetic resistance mechanisms, socio-economic impacts, and mitigation strategies in sub-Saharan Africa

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) disease is a significant constraint for maize producers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The disease decimates the maize crop, in some cases, causing total crop failure with far-reaching impacts on regional food ...

FODMAPs in Wheat

, 2020
The dietary intake of fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) can promote gut health, but also trigger gastrointestinal disorders. Wheat as a staple food is considered a major source of FODMAPs in the daily diet. The most abundant FODMAPs in the wheat grain are fructans, which accumulate during plant development in vegetative

Spin‐Orbit Photonics with Potato Starch Lenses

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Native potato starch spherulites are introduced as volumetric optical elements that modulate both dynamic and geometric phases of light. These spherulites focus light and generate optical vortices via spin‐orbit interaction, functioning as polarization‐sensitive microlenses. Their unique radial anisotropy enables applications in vortex beam generation,
