Mechanism of Alfalfa in Enhancing Goose Egg Yolk Flavor: An Analysis Based on Metabolomics and Quantitative Lipidomics

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organic egg production requires daily provision of coarse feed, fresh or dried forage, and silage to poultry. This study employed flavoromics, metabolomics, and quantitative lipidomics to investigate the effects of replacing 0% (CK), 10% (T10), and 20% (T20) of the basal diet of laying geese with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on the sensory ...

Cancer Chemoprevention by Carotenoids

Molecules, 2012
Carotenoids are natural fat-soluble pigments that provide bright coloration to plants and animals. Dietary intake of carotenoids is inversely associated with the risk of a variety of cancers in different tissues.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Lactuca sativa L. losses and wastes as a source of biobased ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The growing global population and increasing consumer focus on healthy eating challenge the agricultural sector to ensure both sustainable food production and safety. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa Mill.), the most cultivated leafy vegetable worldwide, can lose up to 40% of its weight during processing.

The Effect of Polyunsaturated Aldehydes on Skeletonema marinoi (Bacillariophyceae): The Involvement of Reactive Oxygen Species and Nitric Oxide

Marine Drugs, 2014
Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was investigated in the marine diatom, Skeletonema marinoi (SM), exposed to 2E,4E/Z-decadienal (DECA), 2E,4E/Z-octadienal (OCTA), 2E,4E/Z-heptadienal (HEPTA) and a mix of these last two (MIX)

pamfit: A new R package for spatially resolved analysis of Imaging PAM photosynthesis–irradiance light curve parameters

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Imaging Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) fluorometry allows spatially resolved measurements of Photosystem II (PSII) fluorescence kinetics through time without disturbing study organisms or their environments. In particular, the use of photosynthesis–irradiance curves (P–I curves) provides detailed information on PSII quantum efficiency ...

Comparison between fluorometry and microscopy‐based phytoplankton assessments in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

A Mechanistic Review of β-Carotene, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin in Eye Health and Disease

Antioxidants, 2020
Carotenoids are natural lipid-soluble antioxidants abundantly found as colorful pigments in fruits and vegetables. At least 600 carotenoids occur naturally, although about 20 of them, including β-carotene, α-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, meso ...

Colours of urban selection: carotenoid‐based signals reveal divergent urban/rural evolutionary trajectories in two closely related passerines

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.
