Evaluation of the Obesity Prevention, Blood Glucose, and Blood Lipid Control of Vietnamese Rice Varieties in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice by Thuy Linh Nguyen, Khanh Son Trinh

“…Five Vietnamese rice varieties, which differ in their basic chemical composition (starch content, amylose content, fiber content) including polished rices and whole grain rices, were chosen for this study. High-fat diet-induced obesity, using these rice, was subjected to in vivo experiments to evaluate the effects of body weight gain, caloric intake, postprandial blood glucose level (PBGL), and glycemic index (GI) in tested mice groups. …”

Environmental influences on chorusing patterns in an Australian tropical savanna frog community by Sheryn Brodie, Slade Allen‐Ankins, Lin Schwarzkopf

“…The prolonged breeding species showed idiosyncratic patterns of chorusing, which were generally consistent across sites. Fine‐grained nightly data on patterns of chorusing and the relationship with environmental conditions allow us to understand the detectability of the presence, or absence, of the frog species in these habitats, and provide baseline data for monitoring and management programs.…”

Seed endophytes of malting barley from different locations are shaped differently and are associated with malt quality traits by Oyeyemi Ajayi, Ramamurthy Mahalingam

“…However, it remains unclear the forces that shapes microbial structure and assembly, and how plant seed-microbiome interactions impact grain quality. In this work, we characterized the seed endophytic microbial communities of malting barley from different geographical locations and investigated associations between microbial (bacterial and fungal) species diversity and malt quality traits. …”
