Optimization of Parachlorella kessleri growth under different environmental conditions for lipid production

This study reports the isolation and optimization of an indigenous *Parachlorella kessleri* strain (PDP-01) from the Yamuna River, identifying specific environmental conditions (pH 8, 25°C, 16:8 light:dark photoperiod, and 2% CO₂) that maximize biomass growth while enabling the simultaneous production of lipids and polyhydroxyalkanoates for sustainable biorefinery applications.

Integrated multivariate morphometric analysis reveals distinct body conformation and enables breed-specific body weight prediction in Molai Adu and Pallai Adu goats

This study utilizes an integrated multivariate morphometric analysis of 564 adult Molai Adu and Pallai Adu goats to successfully distinguish the two breeds with 95.6% accuracy and develop precise, breed-specific body weight prediction models based on key conformation traits.

Effects of Orange Pomace Dietary Fiber and Cooking Temper-ature on the Quality Characteristics of Meatballs

This study demonstrates that incorporating dietary fiber extracted from orange pomace into meatballs, particularly at a 3% level and cooked at moderate temperatures, effectively reduces cooking loss and lipid oxidation while enhancing calcium content, although higher fiber concentrations (5%) significantly increase hardness and reduce other textural qualities.

Engineering the Root–Rhizosphere Interface for Durable Striga Resistance

This paper proposes a paradigm shift in Striga resistance breeding by redefining pre-attachment resistance as an emergent property of the integrated root–rhizosphere interface and outlines a multi-disciplinary framework to develop resilient crop ideotypes that suppress the parasite while maintaining essential soil functions.
