In this study, the chemical composition, physico-chemical properties and antioxidant activities of leatherwood honey from different locations with different climate across Tasmania were compared. Concentrations of 14 volatiles in the GC-MS profiles, 9 volatiles in the GC-FID profiles and 29 phenolic compounds in the HPLC-DAD/MS profiles along with pH, electrical conductivity, colour, hydrogen peroxide accumulation and antioxidant activity differed significantly between South and North samples. Correlations were found between beehive elevation and four unknown compounds U226 (R = 0.

Unlabelled: Viable pollen is crucial for fertilization, but pollen is generally highly susceptible to heat stress. A quick, reliable method for testing the heat-stress tolerance of pollen is needed to improve the heat-stress tolerance in plants, but current methods require considerable space and labor. In addition, many such methods only test tolerance to a single constant temperature, making it time-consuming to screen heat tolerance over a wide temperature range and to examine the dynamics of pollen viability at different temperatures.

Background: Elevated levels of tropospheric ozone (O) pose a significant threat to plant health and productivity. Developing ozone-tolerant varieties is crucial for mitigating these environmental stresses. This study investigates the effects of ascorbic acid (AA) and silicic acid (SA) treatments on 12 different mung bean varieties under elevated O conditions.

Total leaf area per shoot () can reflect the photosynthetic capacity of a shoot. A prior study hypothesized that is proportional to the product of the sum of the individual leaf widths per shoot () and the maximum individual leaf length per shoot (), referred to as the Montgomery-Koyama-Smith equation (MKSE). However, empirical evidence does not support such a proportional relationship hypothesis, as was found to allometrically scale with , i.

Forage-grain ratoon rice (FG-RR) systems, integrating grain and forage production, promise a sustainable approach to enhance food security and livestock development in marginal regions where ratoon rice (T-RR) is traditionally cultivated. Here, we quantified zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd) concentrations in ratoon crop grains from 23 rice varieties at four mowing stages (heading, milk-ripening, dry-ripening, and full maturity) of the main crop. Early mowing at the milk-ripening stage significantly reduced As levels (16.

Background/objectives: In vitro studies suggest that incorporating sorghum flour into staple foods including pasta reduces their starch digestibility and hence may suppress postprandial blood glucose levels, appetite and energy intake; however, these effects in humans have yet to be reported. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of red and white sorghum-containing pasta on blood glucose response, appetite and energy intake in humans.
Subjects/methods: In a randomised crossover design, healthy individuals (n = 20) consumed the following three iso-caloric test meals (each providing 50 g available carbohydrates) as breakfast: control pasta (CP) made from100% durum wheat; 30% red sorghum pasta (RSP) and; 30% white sorghum pasta (WSP).

When stored at chill temperatures, vacuum-packed (VP) lamb has a much shorter shelf-life than VP beef, primarily due to its higher pH, which could be linked to the higher fat content. The higher pH would create more favourable conditions for the growth of spoilage bacteria, resulting in a shorter shelf-life of meat. To determine the effects of fat on meat shelf-life as it relates to pH, a series of shelf-life trials at 2 °C were conducted using VP beef and lamb mince with varying fat contents (i.

Changes in meat sensory quality during storage are difficult to assess accurately and objectively. Advanced analytical technologies for sensory assessment could help predict sensory changes. In this study, vacuum-packed (VP) minced beef was incubated at four different temperatures until the end of its quality shelf-life, before conducting instrumental taste analysis with an Insent electronic tongue and analysis of volatile compounds with headspace SPME GC-MS.

Grain hardness has important effects on grain quality and the end-use of wheat. In this study, a collection of 103 common wheat germplasms and a DH population of 194 lines were used to identify new quantitative trait loci (QTL) for grain hardness. Two stable genetic loci on chromosome 5D were detected under different locations and years with one of them being the Ha locus on 5DS where the major gene Puroindolines for wheat grain hardness is located.

Photosynthetic light response curves serve as powerful mathematical tools for quantitatively describing the rate of photosynthesis of plants in response to changes in irradiance. However, in practical applications, the daunting task of selecting an appropriate nonlinear model to accurately fit these curves persists as a significant challenge. Thus, there arises a need for a method to systematically evaluate the efficacy of such models.

Bovine mastitis is an inflammatory disease that primarily occurs when bacteria invade and proliferate in the mammary gland, although it can also be caused by physical trauma. Mastitis results in a decrease in milk yield and quality, causing huge economic losses. Cyclophilin A (CyPA) is a cytosolic protein known as cyclosporine binding protein.

Understanding the effects of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) on crop agronomic traits and yield performance helps breeders balance their selection criteria and farmers decide if pesticides should be applied to control aphids that distribute the virus. To precisely assess the deterioration of different agronomic traits and yield components caused by different levels of BYDV infection, seeds of a BYDV-sensitive barley cultivar RGT Planet were space sown in a field plot with 10 cm between seeds and 20 cm between rows under two consecutive years. When BYDV symptoms were shown, plants with different levels (0 to 5) of BYDV infection were tagged.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is known to vary among different ecosystems and soilscapes, yet the degree of variation remains uncertain. Comparing SOC levels in undisturbed ecosystems like forests with those in gradually altered ecosystems can provide valuable insights into the impact of land use on carbon dynamics. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different land uses on soil fertility parameters in the tropical region of Kerala, focusing on forests as well as cultivated agricultural landscape such as coconut, pepper, tapioca, acacia plantations, and mixed home garden cropping systems.
