Abstract Cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important sources starch in tropics. There limited and contradictory information regarding cassava characteristics. The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) holds trust FAO's germplasm collection. Starches from 3272 landraces (including 12 wild relatives) 772 improved clones were extracted analyzed over a period several years. In cases only sample per genotype was analyzed. Average cyanogenic potential 327 ppm...
There is a broad consensus accepting that psychological variables such as stress, anxiety, or depression play an important role in bruxism. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increase and levels. purpose of this study was evaluate the impact on possible awake sleep bruxism prevalence factors associated with bruxism, comparing pre-pandemic, pandemic/lockdown, post-pandemic samples first-year students. A total 274 dentistry students from Complutense University Madrid participated study: 92...
Functional properties of normal and waxy starches from maize, rice, potato, cassava as well the modified maize starch COLFLO 67 were compared. The main objective this study is to position recently discovered spontaneous mutation for amylose-free in relation other with well-known characteristics. Paste clarity, wavelength maximum absorption (lambda(max)), pasting properties, swelling power, solubility, dispersed volume fraction measurements gel stability (acid alkaline resistance, shear,...
Objective Irisin is a novel myokine that seems to mediate the beneficial effects of exercise. Levels circulating irisin before and after an 8‐month physical activity program (PAP) in school‐age children were evaluated. Methods leptin measured at baseline follow‐up among 85 with different BMI. Results Of (mean age 8.9; 47% female), 25 had normal weight, 23 overweight, 37 obesity. We observed no significant difference serum levels between boys girls. was positively associated BMI PAP ( r =...
The quality of cassava starch, an important trait in breeding programs, determines its applications various industries. For example, development waxy (having a low level amylose) is demand. Amylose synthesized by granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) plants, and therefore, down-regulation GBSSI expression might lead to reduced amylose content. We produced 63 transgenic plant lines that express hair-pin dsRNAs homologous the conserved region under control vascular-specific promoter p54/1.0...
Numerous studies have analyzed the relationship between psychological factors and bruxism. However, data are often obscured by lack of precise diagnostic criteria variety questionnaires used. The purpose this study is to determine association awake bruxism (anxiety, depression, sociability, stress coping, personality traits). With aim, 68 participants (13 males) completed a battery questionnaires, self-reported questionnaire, clinical examination. Based on their scores questionnaire...
With 4 figures and 5 tables Abstract Cassava roots are the most important commercial product from this crop. Roots have two major components: starchy parenchyma peel with higher amount of fibre cyanogenic glucosides. In study, a sample 64 clones grown in replicated trials five locations were evaluated for thickness (PT) that ranged 1.48 to 2.55 mm. 33 these further analysed extractable starch. Broad sense heritability PT was high (0.93) compared yield (0.63). The values obtained demonstrate...
Low-income Hispanic women experience elevated rates of high postpartum weight retention (PPWR), which is an independent risk factor for lifetime obesity. Sociocultural factors might play important role among women; however, very few studies have examined this association.
The CGIAR Harvest Plus Challenge Program began in the mid-2000s to support genetic improvement of nutritional quality various crops, including carotenoids content cassava roots. Successful conventional breeding requires a large number segregating progenies. However, only few samples can be quantified by high performance liquid chromatography each day for total (TCC) and β-carotene (TBC) contents, limiting gains from breeding. This study describes usefulness near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy...
Many studies have revealed high comorbidity and a clear association between temporomandibular disorders (TMD) migraine. Furthermore, evidence points out that common psychological behavioral factors might be related to the observed TMD migraine association. However, this underlying are poorly understood.The main goal of study was describe involved in myalgia migraine.A sample 142 participants were recruited form 4 groups: patients (ICHD-III criteria), painful-TMD (Myalgia DC/TMD suffering...
Objectives: A comparison was made between the electromyographic patterns specific to patient with temporomandibular disorders and that of normal healthy patients.Study design: Electromyographic tests were carried out during rest function masseter muscles anterior temporalis in a homogeneous group consisting 95 patients for whom such pathology its different degree severity had been previously studied by means Helkimo Test.The exploration results compared those control 31 subjects.Results:...
Rapid-cycling recurrent selection has been implemented to produce cassava varieties that deliver provitamin A carotenoids human populations are affected by vitamin deficiency. Rapid-cycling selection relies on quantification in just one plant per genotype. This study was conducted assess the reliability of single-plant evaluations and the effect age carotenoid content cassava roots. Variation aliquot quantifications from same root negligible indicating a...
Ten and thirty cassava genotypes producing wildtype amylose‐free (waxy) starch respectively, are grown at low (LA) intermediate (IA) altitudes (<213 >900 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.) respectively). The functional properties of the from these materials analyzed. relative importance environment, clones (within type) genotype‐by‐environment interaction (GxE) is assessed through an analysis variance. GxE effects non‐significant, whereas environment highly significant in most cases...
