Legume-based rotations have clear economic advantages over cereal monocropping in dry areas

Genetically engineered models have advantages over xenografts for preclinical studies.

Mouse models of human cancer are valuable tools for cancer research. Although xenografts and genetically engineered models (GEMs) possess limitations as well as advantages, each system plays a significant role in preclinical testing. Tumor xenografts are easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and reproducible. The main drawback of xenografts is that the genetics and histology of the tumors are fr...

Legume-Cereal Intercropping Improves Forage Yield, Quality and Degradability.

Intercropping legume with cereal is an extensively applied planting pattern in crop cultivation. However, forage potential and the degradability of harvested mixtures from intercropping system remain unclear. To investigate the feasibility of applying an intercropping system as a forage supply source to ruminants, two consecutive experiments (experiments 1 and 2) involving a field cultivation t...

Development of cereal and legume based food products for the elderly

Diets for elderly must contain nutritious foods, fit their physiological limitations, and match with their food culture. Cereals and legumes are suggested food choices regardless of their cultures and beliefs. Ready-to-eat products containing suitable macronutrient patterns from cereals and legumes were developed. Energy distributions from carbohydrate (60 kcal/100 kcal), protein (15 kcal/100 k...

The Comparative Analysis of Sprouted Legume and Cereal Based Composite Diet

In developing countries like Nigeria, protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is endemic. Protein energy malnutrition is more among children because, they are weaned abruptly into starchy foods. The formulation and development of nutritious complementary foods from local and ready available raw materials has received considerable attention in many developing countries. The commercially standardize fo...
