Biophysical, Nutraceutical, and Technofunctional Features of Specialty Cereals: Pigmented Popcorn and Sorghum [PDF]
Different pigmented corn and sorghum types were evaluated to characterize their biophysical, nutraceutical, and technofunctional properties for the first time. Commercially pigmented (blue, purple, red, black, and yellow) popcorn (Zea mays var.

Unraveling the Mechanisms of Efficient Phosphorus Utilization in Popcorn (Zea mays L. var. everta): Insights from Proteomic and Metabolite Analysis [PDF]
The expansion of agriculture and the need for sustainable practices drives breeders to develop plant varieties better adapted to abiotic stress such as nutrient deficiency, which negatively impacts yields. Phosphorus (P) is crucial for photosynthesis and plant growth, but its availability in the soil is often limited, hampering crop development.

Optimization of biodegradable paper cup packaging coated with whey protein isolate and rice bran wax as potential popcorn package [PDF]
Biodegradable packaging is one of the best types of packaging that wishes not to harm the environment. Paper packaging coated with materials, such as rice bran wax and whey protein isolate, both of which are food waste, can improve paper color and resistance, and provide a good moisture barrier.

Quantitative profiling of feruloylated arabinoxylan side chains from graminaceous cell walls [PDF]
Graminaceous arabinoxylans are distinguished by decoration with feruloylated monosaccha-ridic and oligosaccharidic side-chains. Although it is hypothesized that structural complexity and abundance of these feruloylated arabinoxylan side-chains may ...

A sugarcane mosaic virus vector for gene expression in maize [PDF]
Abstract Zea mays L. ssp. mays (maize) is an important crop plant as well as model system for genetics and plant biology. The ability to select among different virus‐based platforms for transient gene silencing or protein expression experiments is expected to facilitate studies of gene function in maize and complement experiments with stable transgenes.

Appropriate plant spacing is vital to maximizing marginal field and expediting equitable distribution of applied plant nutrients for improved popcorn yield. Two field experiments were carried out during the summer seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 at the North-West University (NWU) research farm, Mafikeng campus. The study investigated the response of

Abstract Herbicide carryover injury to rotational crops can vary in severity depending on the influence of soil properties on herbicide bioavailability. Greenhouse bioassays were conducted with soybean, radish, and canola to evaluate differences in the bioavailability of three herbicides with carryover risk, atrazine, mesosulfuron‐methyl, and ...
