Abstract Background Plant traits related to nutrition have an influential role in tree growth, production and nutrient cycling. Therefore, the breeding program should consider genetics of traits. However, measurement methods could seriously affect progress selection program. In this study, we tested ability spectroscopy quantify specific leaf including anthocyanins (ANTH), flavonoids (FLAV) nit...

Madam, Public Health Nutrition is now established as an international journal, and you are to be congratulated for that. But as a regular reader I am disappointed and even somewhat dismayed to find so little coverage of undernutrition, as an issue that is at the heart of public health nutrition.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation directly regulates a multitude of herbivore life processes, in addition to indirectly affecting insect success via changes in plant chemistry and morphogenesis. Here we looked at plant and insect (aphid and whitefly) exposure to supplemental UV-A radiation in the glasshouse environment and investigated effects on insect population growth. Glasshouse grown peppers and ...
