Soybean () is an important oil crop, but the regulatory mechanisms underlying seed oil accumulation remain unclear. We identified a member of the transcription factor family, , that is involved in regulating soybean oil content and nodulation. Overexpression of in soybean hairy roots increased the expression of genes involved in glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis, the proportion of palmitic acid (16:0), and the number of root nodules. The effect of in increasing the number of root nodules via regulating the proportion of palmitic acid was confirmed in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. shows abundant sequence diversity and has likely undergone artificial selection during domestication. An association analysis revealed a correlation between seed oil content and five linked natural variations (Hap1/Hap2) in the promoter region. Natural variations in the promoter were strongly associated with the transcript level, with higher transcript levels in lines carrying than in those carrying . The effects of alleles on seed oil content were confirmed in natural and RIL populations. We identified a favourable allele that can be used to breed new varieties with increased seed oil content and nodulation.

Foodborne diseases pose a significant public health challenge worldwide. The increasing availability of edible oils in the market, combined with Ethiopia's lack of stringent quality control and regulatory oversight, raises concerns about their safety. This inadequacy in regulation may contribute to microbial contamination, leading to potential public health risks.

This study evaluated how dietary black seed oil (Nigella sativa L.) against the diazinon waterborne toxicity on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), focusing on growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameters as well as oxidative stress markers and histological changes. A 40-day feeding trial was carried out using four experimental groups: Group 1 (control group), Group 2 (N.

Huajiao seeds represent an underutilized high-quality woody oilseed resource rich in unsaturated fatty acids and diverse nutritional factors. This study investigated the quality characteristics and digestive behavior of two Huajiao seed oils (Zanthoxylum bungeanum seed oil (ZBSO) and Zanthoxylum schinifolium seed oil (ZSSO)). The results demonstrated that both oils were rich in unsaturated fatty acids, with ZBSO containing 76.

Air pollution is a critical threat to human health and the quality of life in large cities. In this work, we electrically characterized indoor air quality in Dhaka City with a microcontroller-based advanced sensing system in the presence of 60 air purifiers. We conducted LabVIEW-controlled, fully automated, and remotely operated experiments to precisely monitor, store, and analyze the air-purifying effects in the concentrations of air quality index (AQI) parametersPM2.

Coextraction of Citrullus lanatus seeds and Citrus aurantium peels (1:1, w/w), two food processing wastes, was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO) (345 bar|57 °C|178 min) and pet ether solvents. The major objective of the study was to valorize two fruit processing wastes to obtain a bioactive coextract using a green scCO extraction process and further incorporate it into wax-based composite oleofoams. The scCO coextraction resulted in better extraction of bioactive compounds such as d-limonene and polyunsaturated fatty acids due to the absence of light and lower temperature of extraction, compared to pet ether.
