Quinoa, a gluten-free pseudocereal, has nutrient and phytochemical profile which may benefit health. Our aim was to investigate the variability in phenolic apparent antioxidant content of different quinoa varieties identify variety with high use quinoa-enriched bread. The results showed that free phenolics contributed most (50–83%) total compared conjugated or bound forms. Apparent activities m...

With the increased demand for sustainable, hypoallergenic products, plant surfactants are a promising, eco-friendly option cleaning products due to their low toxicity or even absence of toxicity. In present study, surfactant-rich extracts from Chenopodium quinoa, Glycine max, and Malpighia emarginata were assessed stability, antioxidant capacity, toxic potential, potential in shampoo formulatio...

Serological methods are relatively convenient and simple for the detection of pathogens for front-line workers. On-site visualization of the test results plays a pivotal role in the process. However, an efficient, universal labeling agent for antibodies is needed for the development of efficient serological detection tools. In this study, a Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV)-based viral vector was empl...

Archaeological research suggests significant human occupation in the arid Andean highlands during the 13th to 15th centuries, whereas paleoclimatic studies reveal prolonged drier and colder conditions during that period. Which subsistence strategy supported local societies in this harsh environment? Our field and aerial surveys of archaeological dwelling sites, granaries, and croplands provide ...

Halophyte species implement a “salt-including” strategy, sequestering significant amounts of Na to cell vacuoles. This requires a reduction of passive Na leak from the vacuole. In this work, we used quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) to investigate the ability of halophytes to regulate Na-permeable slow-activating (SV) and fast-activating (FV) tonoplast channels, linking it with Na accumulation in mes...

The aim of this study was to grow maize with quinoa plants as an alternative in intercropping system and determine the effects different plant mixtures on production. For purpose, a trial carried out coastal Aegean region (Aydın Province) Turkey under Mediterranean climate conditions. In addition 100% (monocultures), 3 (75% maize-25% quinoa, 50% maize-50% 25% maize-75% quinoa) were also created...
