The phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) inhibitor, 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), induces myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells (2020)
Journal Article

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a gluconeogenic enzyme with a cytosolic (Pck1/PEPCK-C) and mitochondrial (Pck2/PEPCK-M) isoform. Here we investigate the effect of 3-mercaptopicolinic acid (3-MPA), a PEPCK inhibitor, on C2C12 muscle cells...

A stable isotope approach to accurately determine iron and zinc bioaccessibility in cereals and legumes based on a modified INFOGEST static in vitro digestion method (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd The establishment of the INFOGEST in vitro static digestion method, a standardized international consensus, was an important milestone in the field of food digestion. We evaluated the contribution of iron and zinc in reagents used...

Analysis of bovine blastocysts indicates ovarian stimulation does not induce chromosome errors, nor discordance between inner-cell mass and trophectoderm lineages (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Authors Contemporary systems for oocyte retrieval and culture of both cattle and human embryos are suboptimal with respect to pregnancy outcomes following transfer. In humans, chromosome abnormalities are the leading cause of early pregnan...

Understanding the lost functionality of ethanol in non-alcoholic beer using sensory evaluation, aroma release and molecular hydrodynamics (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Consumer sensory evaluation, aroma release analysis and biophysical protein analysis were used to investigate the effect of ethanol on the release and perception of flavour in beer (lager and stout) at different ethanol levels...

Genome-wide association mapping for grain manganese in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using a multi-experiment approach (2020)
Journal Article

Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for plants and commonly contributes to human health; however, the understanding of the genes controlling natural variation in Mn in crop plants is limited. Here, the integration of two of genome-wide assoc... Read More about Genome-wide association mapping for grain manganese in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using a multi-experiment approach.

Novel sources of variation in grain yield, components and mineral traits identified in wheat amphidiploids derived from thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & rayss) Á. löve (poaceae) under saline soils in India (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Salt-affected soils constrain wheat production globally. A wild wheat species, Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & Rayss) Á. Löve (Poaceae), and its derivatives are tolerant of high external NaC...

Policy, toxicology and physicochemical considerations on the inhalation of high concentrations of food flavour (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Food flavour ingredients are required by law to obtain prior approval from regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in terms of toxicological data and i...

Arabidopsis thaliana zinc accumulation in leaf trichomes is correlated with zinc concentration in leaves (2020)
Working Paper

Zinc (Zn) is a key micronutrient. In humans, Zn deficiency is a common nutritional disorder, and most people acquire dietary Zn from eating plants. In plants, Zn deficiency can decrease plant growth and yield. Understanding Zn homeostasis in plants c...

Impact of neospora caninum infection on the bioenergetics and transcriptome of cerebrovascular endothelial cells (2020)
Journal Article

In this work, the effects of the protozoan Neospora caninum on the bioenergetics, chemical composition, and elemental content of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (hBMECs) were investigated. We showed that N. caninum can impair cell mitocho... Read More about Impact of neospora caninum infection on the bioenergetics and transcriptome of cerebrovascular endothelial cells.

Increased expression of the HvMALE STERILITY1 Transcription Factor Results in Temperature-Sensitive Male Sterility in Barley (2020)
Journal Article

Understanding the control of fertility is critical for crop yield and breeding, this is particularly important for hybrid breeding to capitalise upon the resultant hybrid vigour. Different hybrid breeding systems have been adopted, however these are...
