Article Synopsis
- A synthetic glycolate metabolic pathway introduced in potatoes resulted in increased tuber biomass over two growing seasons without compromising tuber quality.
- Transformed potato plants showed significantly enhanced daily carbon assimilation and photosynthetic capacity, especially after early season heatwaves, demonstrating resilience against heat stress.
- The study suggests that this modified pathway could be a viable strategy for improving potato yields amid the challenges posed by increased heatwave events due to global warming.
Article Synopsis
- * It compared placental samples from three groups: women without diabetes, those with gestational diabetes, and those with a history of diabetes, analyzing their glycemic control and vessel characteristics.
- * Findings revealed that women with gestational or previous diabetes had altered vessel characteristics, including a reduction in the number and area of vessels, indicating that high blood sugar can impact placental blood supply.
Article Synopsis
- * An evidence-based design framework is needed to create strategies for mitigating urbanization's effects, with a focus on biodiversity and ecosystem health.
- * The proposed Hub and Spoke model integrates various sectors and uses a six-building-blocks structure to promote sustainable, health-centered, and inclusive urban environments.
Background: Validated and internationally standardised measurement instruments are a prerequisite for ensuring that physical activity during pregnancy is comparable and for deriving physical activity recommendations. In Germany, there has been no adapted version of the internationally used Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) until now. This study's aim centred around translating the original English version into German (PPAQ-G) and determining its reliability as well as validity in a German population.
