This work aimed at investigating the effects of three domestic cooking methods (roasting, sprouting and boiling) on phytochemical contents (phenolic content, flavonoid, fibre), and anti-obesity (weight loss, hypoglycemic effect, serum lipids) potential of soybean seeds in obese male rats. Ten different forms were implemented, combining hulled/unhulled and raw/cooked soybean seeds using a basal ...

Abstract We used genotyping-by-sequencing to investigate the evolutionary history of bere, oldest barley variety still cultivated in Britain and possibly all Europe. With a panel 203 wild 401 accessions, including 35 samples identified as we obtained filtered datasets comprising up 1,946,469 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The beres formed two genetically-distinct groups, larger which i...
