Cadmium Uptake and Translocation By Potato in Acid and Calcareous Soils.

Cadmium contamination of agricultural soils threatens food safety. The bioaccumulation (BAF) of Cd in potato tubers ranged from 0.69 to 1.

Transcriptome Characterization of Repressed Embryonic Myogenesis Due to Maternal Calorie Restriction.

Fetal malnutrition decreases skeletal myofiber number and muscle mass in neonatal mammals, which increases the risk of developing obesity and diabetes in adult life. However, the associated molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated how the nutrient (calorie) availability affects embryonic myogenesis using a porcine model.
