Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStudies examining preconception eating behaviours with longitudinal dietary patterns from preconception to late pregnancy as well as gestational weight gain (GWG) are limited. We derived dietary pattern trajectories from preconception to late-pregnancy, and related preconception eating behaviours to these trajectories and GWG. Preconception eating behaviours were assessed using the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire measuring cognitive restraint (CR) - conscious restriction of food intake, emotional eating (EE) - overeating in respo...

Application of a portable ion chromatograph for real-time field analysis of nitrite and nitrate in soils and soil pore waters
In this study, a portable ion-chromatograph (IC, Aquamonitrix) analyser, coupled with a field-applicable ultrasonic-assisted extraction method, was utilised for in-field determination of nitrate and nitrite in soils. This is the first application of this type of analyser to soil nutrients. On-site analysis of soil from a local sports field showed 94.8 ± 4.3 μg g-1 nitrate, with LODs of 32.0 μg g-1 for nitrate and 5.4 μg g-1 for nitrite. The results were in close agreement with those obtained using a conventional lab-based IC. Relative standard deviations (%RSDs) for soil analysis using Aquamonitrix were consistently be...

Maintaining the cultivation of vegetables with low Pb accumulation while remediating the soil of an allotment garden (Nantes, France) by phytoextraction
This study identifies possible avenues of research to improve this cropping system by using appropriate vegetables that will allow food production to continue on moderately contaminated soil while cleaning it up.PMID:38573580 | DOI:10.1007/s11356-024-33104-4 (Source: Environmental Science and Pollution Research International)

Profiling of Groundnut bud necrosis orthotospovirus-responsive microRNA and their targets in tomato based on deep sequencing
J Virol Methods. 2024 Apr 2:114924. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2024.114924. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTomato, an extensively cultivated vegetable crop produces miRNAs in response to infection with Groundnut bud necrosis orthotospovirus, a viral pathogen causing significant economic losses. High-throughput miRNA sequencing was performed on tomato leaves inoculated with GBNV and mock-inoculated leaves as controls. Analysis revealed 73 known miRNAs belonging to 24 miRNA families, with variable expression levels. Interestingly, 39 miRNAs were upregulated, and 34 were downregulated in response to GBNV infection. Stem-loop quan...

MedDiet relies on a large consumption of fruit, vegetables, cereals, and extra-virgin olive oil, with less red meat and fat intake. Four major BZ have been recognized in the world, namely, Ogliastra in Sardinia (Italy), Ikaria (Greece), the Peninsula of Nicoya (Costa Rica), and Okinawa (Japan).

Metagenomics reveals the variations in functional metabolism associated with greenhouse gas emissions during legume-vegetable rotation process
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Apr 1;275:116268. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116268. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLegume-based rotation is commonly recognized for its mitigation efficiency of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, variations in GHG emission-associated metabolic functions during the legume-vegetable rotation process remain largely uncharacterized. Accordingly, a soybean-radish rotation field experiment was designed to clarify the responses of microbial communities and their GHG emission-associated functional metabolism through metagenomics. The results showed that the contents of soil organic carbon and tot...
