Article Abstract
Four hundred tubers of four genotypes, two brown and two black tiger nuts were subjected to Ethyl Methanesulfonate (EMS) and Colchicine treatments at concentrations of 0 %, 0.1 %, 0.25 %, 0.5 % and 1.0 % for 24 h. Each genotype had twenty tubers treated with each of the five different concentrations and were planted using Complete Randomized Design (CRD) in a greenhouse. Quantitative data was collected and LD and RD were analysed using Excell 2016 and Genstat 11.2. A general decreasing trend in percentage germination and plant height was observed with increasing concentrations of mutagens applied. An EMS treatment had LD and RD values of 0.97 % and 1.49 % for black and 0.63 % and 1.63 % for brown genotypes. Similarly, the percentage colchicine treatment had LD and RD values of 1.65 % and 19.51 % concentrations for black and 0.91 % and 1.71 % concentrations for brown genotypes.

Unlabelled: Tiger nuts are an excellent food choice due to their rich mineral, fiber, and antioxidant content. Tiger nut milk was replaced by 25, 50, 75, and 100% of cow's milk in the ice cream mixture. The impact of substituting cow milk with tiger nut milk on the physicochemical, rheological, and organoleptic properties of ice cream was examined.

Background: The rapid spread of the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) poses a notable public health threat in Europe due to its ability to transmit tropical diseases such as dengue and chikungunya. We aimed to quantify the underlying drivers facilitating and accelerating Europe's transition from sporadic arbovirus outbreaks to Aedes-borne disease endemicity, focusing on dengue and chikungunya outbreaks.
Methods: We conducted a time-to-event analysis to investigate the period between establishment of Ae albopictus and autochthonous dengue and chikungunya outbreaks across Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) 3 regions in the EU.

Tiger nut protein fibrils (TNPFs) were prepared through three pathways: self-assembly (TNPF), Homogeneous nuclei (HN)-induced (HN-TNPF), and Secondary nuclei (SN)-induced (SN-TNPF). Differences in morphology, structure, and formation mechanisms among the three TNPFs were examined. HN and SN, serving as fibrillation seeds, enhanced both fibril production and fibrillation rate.
