Landraces are genetically heterogeneous plant populations that are regionally particularly well adapted to the natural and cultural agricultural environment. Their genetic memory originates from pre-industrial agriculture and food production with consequences for their agronomic and processing performance. Since wheat-related disorders have increased in the population, breeding might have resulted in changes in the protein composition. The aim of this study was to investigate the protein composition and baking quality of 14 German common wheat landraces. Six modern varieties served as a control group. The protein composition was determined using modified Osborne fractionation and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, the water absorption and bread volume were determined. The crude protein content, proportions of albumins and globulins, water absorption and bread volume did not differ between modern varieties and landraces. The proportion of gliadins was higher in landraces (64.0%) compared to modern varieties (57.6%), whereas the proportion of glutenins was lower in landraces (17.4%) than in modern varieties (22.0%). The same observation was made for the respective gluten protein types except the proportion of ω1,2-gliadins, where there was no difference between the two groups. This resulted in a significantly higher ratio of gliadins to glutenins of 4.3 in landraces compared to 2.8 in the modern varieties, but no difference in the total gluten proportion. Taken together, there was no clear distinction between landraces and modern varieties. However, a few landraces such as showed similar characteristics to modern varieties and are therefore interesting for further investigations.

Background: Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus, known as 'YouShaDou' in China, YSD) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus, known as 'XiangFuZi' in China, XFZ), closely related Cyperaceae species, exhibit significant differences in triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation within their tubers, a key factor in carbon flux repartitioning that highly impact the total lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolisms. Previous studies have attempted to elucidate the carbon anabolic discrepancies between these two species, however, a lack of comprehensive genome-wide annotation has hindered a detailed understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Results: This study utilizes transcriptomic analyses, supported by a comprehensive YSD reference genome, and metabolomic profiling to uncover the mechanisms underlying the major carbon perturbations between the developing tubers of YSD and XFZ germplasms harvested in Yunnan province, China, where the plant biodiveristy is renowned worldwide and may contain more genetic variations relative to their counterparts in other places.

Orchard meadows, a specific agroforestry system characterised by scattered high-stem fruit trees, are a traditional element of several cultural landscapes in Central Europe and provide important ecosystem services. Since the middle of the 20th century, orchard meadows have drastically declined across Europe. Spatial information on the drivers and patterns of such a decline in several regions in Central Europe is lacking.

The observed increase in cases of earwax plugs in patients, as well as the variety of methods of their removal using agents with different cerumenolysis activity, emphasize the need to search for the most modern and multifunctional otolaryngological preparations with proven efficacy. Based on the results of the analysis and generalization of literature sources on the treatment and prevention of ear sulfur plugs, presented in specialized publications in the Russian scientific eLibrary and scientific databases MedLine, Web of Science, Scopus, the need to optimize treatment methods and preventive measures has been identified. In this regard, it is recommended to widely use the preparation A-Cerumen Plus as one of the most progressive means.

Background: Understanding advocacy strategies is essential to improving dementia awareness, reducing stigma, supporting cognitive health promotion, and influencing policy to support people living with dementia. However, there is a dearth of evidence-based research on advocacy strategies used to support dementia awareness.
Objective: This study aimed to use posts from X (formerly known as Twitter) to understand dementia advocacy strategies during World Alzheimer's Awareness Month in September 2022.
