Dark green leafy vegetables (DGLVs) are considered as important sources of iron and vitamin A. However, iron concentration may not indicate bioaccessibility. The objectives of this study were to compare the nutrient content and iron bioaccessibility of five sweet potato cultivars, including three orange-fleshed types, with other commonly consumed DGLVs in Ghana: cocoyam, corchorus, baobab, kena...

Tropical leaf vegetables are grown in the tropics and are rich sources of nutrients, particularly minerals, and vitamins (Oomen and Grubben 1978). A number of species and cultivars have been introduced and grown in the continental US on a limited-scale, particularly in the southern region (Lamberts 1993). The US is a major market for tropical and specialty greens and most of the shipments come ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about α-tocopherol's bioavailability as a constituent of food or its dependence on a subject's age. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the α-tocopherol bioavailability from food, we used collard greens grown in deuterated water ((2)H collard greens) as a source of deuterium-labeled ((2)H) α-tocopherol consumed by younger and older adults in a post hoc analysis of a vitamin K stu...

• We demonstrate the potential of computational linguistics for transitions research. Energy related plenary talks in Finnish parliament from 2008 to 2020 are analysed. Right-wing populists accentuate domestic policy and personal liberty. Greens discuss renewable energy forms nuclear energy. New methods can show how transition outlooks change with political realignments. This viewpoint exemplif...


 This research was conducted in the courtyard of Lau Dendang Village, Medan, North Sumatra. Which is carried out from October to November. study manufacture compost using vermicomposting method which utilizes organic waste such as rotting vegetables and determine differences growth rates applying water mustard greens. The results this indicate that application vegetable has an impact on p...

Soil cultivation is commonly used to manage organic matter (OM) accumulation in golf course putting greens. Our objectives were to determine: (i) if hollow-tine cultivation is more effective than solidtine cultivation at managing OM and water infiltration, (ii) if venting methods are effective at managing OM and water infiltration, and (iii) if venting alters or interacts with effects of earlyo...

Abstract This study was aimed to determine the land suitability class of fruit and vegetable crops which are potential be developed in lowland Bintuni Bay. It showed that Manimeri is for development (particularly orange rambutan), vegetables (greens mustard, long beans, chili). Based on actual suitability, this area categorized as marginal (S3) with water availability, nutrient retention, avail...

Creeping bentgrass putting greens require frequent irrigation during summer months to meet evapotranspiration requirements. Golf courses that utilize local water bodies for may potentially spread phytopathogenic waterborne microbes, or toxins they produce, greens. Cyanobacteria associated with yellow spot and black layer have been detected in are known produce cyanotoxins hinder plant growth at...

If your Snark be a Snark, that is right: Fetch it home by all means-you may serve it with greens, And it's handy for striking a light. "But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day, If your Snark be a Boojum! For then You will softly and suddenly vanish away, And never be met with again!" Lewis Carroll The Hunting of the Snark

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is a foodborne and waterborne pathogen and is responsible for outbreaks of human gastroenteritis. This report documents the draft genome sequences of seven O113:H21 strains recovered from livestock, wildlife, and soil samples recovered from a major agricultural region for leafy greens in California, USA.
