Iowa State University researcher looks at the future of agriculture
Dramatic price fluctuations, increasing demand, the food vs. fuel debate, and other events of the past year may have food producers wondering which way is up. view more (2009-06-25)
University of Leicester research reveals rice bran could reduce risk of intestinal cancer
A study by biomedical scientists at the University of Leicester has revealed for the first time that rice bran could reduce the risk of intestinal cancer. view more (2007-03-27)
Study probes the economic impact of undiagnosed celiac disease
A study published in Journal of Insurance Medicine by members of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center has demonstrated an economic benefit to the diagnosis of celiac disease in a national managed-care population in the United States. view more (2009-03-30)
Commission's Joint Research Centre forecasts this year's crop losses caused by drought
The Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) uses its advanced crop yield forecasting system to predict the effects of the persisting drought on this year's harvest in the European Union. The expected drop in the main crop yields ranges from about 2% for potato to 25% for sunflower at EU level. The loss in wheat production will be approximately 10... view more... (2003-08-20)
Identification of genetic risk factor for coeliac disease promises improved treatment
An international research consortium investigating the genetic causes of intestinal inflammatory conditions has identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease. view more (2007-06-11)
How Do We Fund Plant Breeding?
Worldwide demand for a safe and secure food supply is growing with plant breeding at the forefront of sustainability discussions; however many research programs have seen their funding decrease due to the erosion of traditional public or formula grants view more (2009-10-29)
Triticale gets the best of both worlds â€" wheat and rye
Triticale is a hardy and new winter cereal crop created in a laboratory environment by crossing wheat with rye. After years of effort over a 30-year period, plant breeders, in particular those at INRA (France's National Institute for Agronomic Research), have succeeded in making this species very attractive to farmers. Indeed, Triticale is today... view more... (2004-03-05)
Energy crops take a roasting
A process used to roast coffee beans could give Britain's biomass a power boost, increasing the energy content of some of the UK's leading energy crops by up to 20 per cent. view more (2008-05-22)
British butterfly reveals role of habitat for species responding to climate change
Most wild species are expected to colonise northwards as the climate warms, but how are they going to get there when so many landscapes are covered in wheat fields and other crops? view more (2009-02-25)
Scientists uncover further steps leading to celiac disease
Scientists who last year identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease, have, following continued research, discovered an additional seven gene regions implicated in causing the condition. view more (2008-03-03)
Naked Oats Challenge Wheat In Feed Industry
Naked oats has proved to be an excellent avian feed in terms of nutritional value. In fact, oat-based feed turned out to be better than expected in nutritional studies. This has aroused great economic interest, especially in the UK, which is the world's leading developer of naked oats. Speaking at the International Oat Conference in Helsinki,... view more...

RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE AND FETAL GROWTH RETARDATION ASSOCIATED WITH COELIAC DISEASE (p 399)
Coeliac disease - a condition where wheat gluten causes dietary malabsorption to genetically-susceptible individuals - may be closely linked to recurrent spontaneous abortion or intrauterine growth retardation, according to a research letter published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. 15% of pregnancies result in spontaneous abortion, with the... view more...

Gluten Intolerance
Nearly 1% of the population is celiac, i.e. they suffer from intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. The problem obliges sufferers to follow a diet based on natural foodstuffs such as legumes, meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit and rice. Gluten, in sufferers, produces atrophy of the villi of the intestinal lining,... view more... (2004-08-05)
Simulated crop provides answer to irrigation issues
South Asia has witnessed a rapid growth in rice and wheat production that has defined the Green Revolution there. During the past 30 years, the Indian Punjab has transformed its agriculture through new technology that provides for high-producing plants, increased fertilization, and irrigation. view more (2007-07-13)
Study indicates widely-used nutritional supplement does not improve cholesterol levels
A new study suggests that use of the nutritional supplement policosanol does not lower cholesterol levels any more than placebo, apparently contradicting the results of previous studies. view more (2006-05-17)
Early Detection Of Coeliac Disease Essential To Prevent Excess Deaths (p 356)
Death rates for people who have the intestinal disorder coeliac disease are twice that of the general population, conclude authors of a prospective study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Early disease diagnosis is essential to prevent additional mortality. Coeliac disease is a disorder in which the small intestine is abnormally sensitive to... view more... (2001-08-01)
£4.5M for new studies on gene flow in GM and conventional agriculture
New research, totalling around £4.5M, into the behaviour and transfer of genes within and between plants and microbes is announced today by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Fifteen projects are the first to be funded under the joint BBSRC/NERC initiative... view more... (2000-11-23)
Whole grain diets lower risk of chronic disease
Diets with high amounts of whole grains may help achieve significant weight loss, and also reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to a team of Penn State researchers at University Park and the College of Medicine. view more (2008-02-06)
Lack of funding for world crop diversity threatens sustainable food supply
Researchers from the Department of Agricultural Sciences at Imperial College have warned that a large proportion of the world's collection of crop diversity could be lost due to a lack of funding for the "genebanks" in which they are stored. In a report launched today at the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development,... view more... (2002-08-28)
New method shows mushrooms a top source for one antioxidant
Using a new, more sensitive-testing approach they developed for fungi, Penn State food scientists have found that mushrooms are a better natural source of the antioxidant ergothioneine than either of the two dietary sources previously believed to be best. view more (2005-09-01)
