AI Article Synopsis
- Oil palm is the leading global crop for oil production, but it encounters challenges like climate issues, high fertilizer costs, and fungal diseases.
- Breeders are focusing on improving oil yield and environmental resistance through breeding efforts.
- Metabolomics offers valuable insights and quantitative traits that can enhance oil palm performance, and the text reviews recent analyses and strategies for metabolomics-assisted breeding.
Article Abstract
Oil palm is presently the most important oil-producing crop worldwide in terms of oil production and consumption. However, oil palm cultivation faces important challenges such as adverse climatic conditions, expensive fertilization requirements, and fungal pathogens, including . Intense efforts in oil palm breeding are devoted to improving both oil production yield and resistance to environmental cues. Metabolomics can be of interest because it provides many quantitative traits and metabolic signatures that can be selected for to optimize oil palm performance. Here, we briefly review how metabolomics can help oil palm breeding, and to do so, we give examples of recent metabolomics analyses and provide a roadmap to use metabolomics-assisted breeding.

Impaired Resting State Functional Connectivity in CADASIL Mutant Mice.
Stroke
January 2025
Neurology and Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, UNITED STATES.
Cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy, subcortical infarcts, and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most prevalent monogenic inherited cause of cerebral small-vessel disease. Despite its prevalence, there is currently no proven therapy to prevent or reverse the progression of the disease. This study aimed to characterize the functional integrity of long white matter tracts in CADASIL transgenic mice, both with and without focal white matter lesions in the corpus callosum added on, utilizing optical resting-state functional connectivity imaging alongside behavioral examinations.

Background: Postprandial lipemia (PPL) has been recognised as a cardiovascular disease risk factor. Appetite and PPL can be influenced by the length of saturated fatty acids (FAs). Thus, this study aims to investigate if different FA chain lengths have different impacts on appetite and PPL in healthy volunteers.

Smallholder-managed oil palm plantations are a major driver of economic welfare and rural development. However, compared to industrial producers, smallholders are associated with lower farm productivity and disproportionately higher rates of illegal land clearing. Therefore, a balance must be struck between mitigating adverse externalities and strengthening favorable outcomes to ensure smallholders' sustainable integration into the palm oil industry.

Oil fields located in cold environments and deep-sea locations often face challenges with paraffin wax buildup in pipelines during long-distance crude oil transportation. Various strategies have been employed to address this issue, with chemical methods being the most effective and economical. However, traditional chemical inhibitors present problems due to their high toxicity and low biodegradability, leading to increased operational costs and environmental concerns.

To investigate the potential of activated carbon from palm kernel shell waste for Tc-radiolabeled nanocarbon aerosol, a new production technology for carbon-based Tc-radioaerosol from such a waste was developed. Treated-palm shell charcoal (t-PSC) was prepared by hydrothermal method to increase the surface area, followed by Tc radiolabelling optimization. The optimal Tc radiolabeling conditions resulted in an adsorption capacity of 21.
