To breed new highly antioxidative common buckwheat cultivars, we selected individual plants from gamma ray-irradiated populations. Selection and propagation were repeated 4 or 5 times. This recurrent selection process resulted in many individuals with enhanced antioxidative activity. Among them, 2 individuals from the forth selection and 9 individuals from the fifth selection were developed into lines with increased antioxidative activities and diverse polyphenolic composition. From these lines, 2 new cultivars 'Gamma no irodori' and 'Cobalt no chikara' were developed. Furthermore, following the selection of individuals with high rutin contents, 'Ruchiking' was developed.

Buckwheat () is a seed increasingly used as a gluten-free alternative, particularly by individuals with gluten-sensitive enteropathy. While rich in vitamins and minerals, it may also contain toxic secondary metabolites. The authors present a case of a 49-year-old female patient, admitted to the emergency department with a four-hour history of psychomotor agitation, confusion, and mydriasis.

The rising global demand for nutritious, sustainable, and plant-based beverages has catalyzed interest in pseudocereal-based products, offering an innovative alternative to traditional cereals. Pseudocereals such as quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth are valued for their exceptional nutritional profiles, including high-quality proteins, dietary fibers, and bioactive compounds. This review explores the development of pseudocereal-based beverages, emphasizing their potential as milk alternatives, fermented drinks, and beer products.

Background: Chitinases (CHIs) are glycosidases that degrade chitin, playing critical roles in plant responses to both abiotic and biotic stress. Despite their importance, the CHI family's systematic analysis and evolutionary pattern in F. tataricum (Tartary buckwheat) yet to be explored.
