We investigated whether Cas9‐mediated mutagenesis of starch‐branching enzymes ( SBE
s) in tetraploid potatoes could generate tuber starches with a range of distinct properties. …

Flavonoids, one of the most abundant phytochemicals in a diet rich in fruits and vegetables,
have been recognized as possessing anti-proliferative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and …

We hypothesized that soy phytochemicals may have immunomodulatory properties that may
affect prostate carcinogenesis and progression. A randomized, phase II trial was conducted …

The global rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes has generated significant interest in regulating
the glycaemic impact of staple foods. Wheat breads (white or wholemeal) are popular …

Starch granule initiation is poorly understood at the molecular level. The glucosyltransferase,
STARCH SYNTHASE 4 (SS4), plays a central role in granule initiation in Arabidopsis …

Oral cancer continues to be a significant public health problem worldwide. Recently conducted
clinical trials demonstrate the ability of black raspberries (BRBs) to modulate biomarkers …

Our team is designing and fully characterizing black raspberry (BRB) food products suitable
for long-term cancer prevention studies. The processing, scale-up, and storage effects on …

Background Dietary intake of pulses is associated with beneficial effects on body weight
management and cardiometabolic health, but some of these effects are now known to depend …

Starch synthase III plays a key role in starch biosynthesis and is highly expressed in developing
wheat grains. To understand the contribution of SSIII to starch and grain properties, we …

Oral cancer kills about 1 person every hour each day in the United States and is the sixth
most prevalent cancer worldwide. The pro‐inflammatory cytokine ‘macrophage migration …
