#Ask Anything: What Would People Eat in A Permanent Space Colony? Once settled on another planet colonists would likely start with hydroponic farming using small-stature
or dwarf cultivars that can be packed tightly together. It would make the most sense to plant fast-cycle salad crops first says Jean Hunter a professor at Cornell who studies food-processing and waste-management systems for long-term living away
from Earth. That means lettuce radishes carrots tomatoes cucumbers and other veggies. Later on the colonists would move to carbohydrate-heavy crops like sweet potatoes rice
and wheat and after that they might plant protein and oil-rich crops such as soybeans and peanuts.
Consequently the settlers would end up on a vegan diet more or less. They could try to cultivate insects guinea pigs
or other small animals but caring for these would add to their already enormous workload. Small-scale agriculture is notoriously inefficient Hunter warns.
I worry about the colonists underestimating the amount of human capital needed to grow and process their own food to the point where everybody becomes a subsistence farmer

On Sunday a large (seriously look at that list of authors) international team of scientists published the genome of the hot pepper for the first time.
Because peppers are not so different from their cousins the potato and tomato the genome could also elucidate more about the evolution
and adaptation of other delicious species. One of the study's co-authors Allen Van Deynze has been working with peppers for about 20 years.
Van Deynze studies hot peppers in part because he enjoys eating them. This new genetic data reveals in more detail the titular spicy taste of the hot pepper.
That the heat comes from an accumulation of capsaicinoids (which include capsaicin dihydrocapsaicin and nordihydrocapsaicin) was known already.
The hot pepper is a popular commodity ccording to the study world production in the last decade has increased by 40%.

#Genetic discovery points to bigger yields in tomato, other flowering food plantsevery gardener knows the look of a ripe tomato.
Tomatoes that will be canned for sauces and juice are harvested from plants that stop growing earlier than classic tomato varieties
and are therefore more like bushes. While the architecture of these compact bushy plants allows mechanical harvesters to reap the crop the early end of growth means that each plant produces fewer fruits than their home garden cousins.
But what if commercial tomato growers could coax plants into producing more fruit without sacrificing that unique and necessary bushy plant shape?
Teasing out the hidden subtleties of a type of hybrid vigor involving just one gene has provided the scientists with means to tweak the length of time that bushy tomato varieties can produce flowers.
The mutation dramatically increases tomato yields in bush tomatoes and Lippman and his team led by postdoctoral researcher Ke Jiang set out to understand the mechanism behind this remarkable result.
This is because Lippman explains bushy tomato varieties are highly sensitive to the amount or dosage of the florigen hormone
Lippman's team also studied florigen mutants in another plant the crucifer weed known as Arabidopsis that is a cousin of crops like broccoli and cauliflower.
They looked at the following fiber intake total insoluble (whole grains potato skins etc) soluble (legumes nuts oats barley etc) cereal fruit vegetable and other sources.
They add that an additional 7g of fiber can be achieved through one portion of whole grains (found in bread cereal rice pasta) plus a portion of beans/lentils or two to four servings of fruit and vegetables.

#Sugar beet genome sequenced and analyzeda new study published in Nature today describes the sugar beet reference genome sequence generated by researchers both from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) the Max Planck Institute for Molecular genetics and the University of Bielefeld in cooperation
with other centres and plant breeders. Sugar beet accounts for nearly 30%of the world's annual sugar production according to FAO and provides a source for bioethanol and animal feed.
The sugar beet genome sequence provides insights into how the genome has been shaped by artificial selection along time. What do foodstuff like muffins bread
or tomato sauce have in common? They all contain different amounts of white refined sugar. But what perhaps may result amazing is that this sugar is probably sourced from a plant very similar to spinach or chard but much sweeter:
the sugar beet. In fact this plant accounts for nearly 30%of the world's annual sugar production according to the Food and agriculture organization for the United nations (FAO.
Not in vain for the last 200 years has it been a crop plant in cultivation all around the world because of its powerful sweetener property.
and analyse for the first time the sweet genes of beetroot. The results of the study that will be published today in Nature shed also light on how the genome has been shaped by artificial selection.
These data are key to improvements of the sugar beet crop with respect to yield and quality and towards its application as a sustainable energy crop the authors suggest.
Sugar beet is the first representative of a group of flowering plants called Caryophyllales comprising 11500 species
This group encompasses other plants of economic importance like spinach or quinoa as well as plants with an interesting biology for instance carnivorous plants or desert plants. 27421 protein-coding genes were discovered within the genome of the beet more than are encoded within the human genome.
Sugar beet has a lower number of genes encoding transcription factors than any flowering plant with already known genome adds Bernd Weisshaar a principle investigator from Bielefeld University who was involved in the study.
The researchers speculate that beets may harbor so far unknown genes involved in transcriptional control
and gene interaction networks may have evolved differently in sugar beet compared to other species. The researchers also studied disease resistance genes (the equivalent to the immune system in animals)
which can be identified based on protein-domains. These genes turned out as particularly plastic with beet-specific gene family expansions and gene losses.
Many sequencing projects nowadays targeted at the analysis of novel genomes also address the description of genetic variation within the species of interest.
and generated genome assemblies from four additional sugar beet lines. This allowed the researchers to obtain a much better picture of intraspecific variation in sugar beet than would have been possible otherwise.
In summary 7 million variants were discovered throughout the genome. However variation was distributed not uniformly: The authors found regions of high but also of very low variation reflecting both the small population size from
Additionally gene numbers varied between different sugar beet cultivars which contained up to 271 genes not shared with any of the other lines as Juliane Dohm
The researchers also performed an evolutionary analysis of each sugar beet gene in order to put them into context with already known genes of other plants.
This analysis allowed them to identify gene families that are expanded in sugar beet compared to other plants
Finally the work also provides a first genome sequence of spinach which is a close relative of sugar beet.
Thanks to the sugar beet genome sequence made by the researchers and the associated resources generated future studies on the molecular dissection of natural
and artificial selection gene regulation and gene-environment interaction as well as biotechnological approaches to customize the crop to different uses in the production of sugar
Sugar beet will be an important cornerstone of future genomic studies involving plants due to its taxonomic position the authors claim.
#Diet rich in tomatoes may lower breast cancer riska tomato-rich diet may help protect at-risk postmenopausal women from breast cancer according to new research accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal
The study found eating a diet high in tomatoes had a positive effect on the level of hormones that play a role in regulating fat and sugar metabolism.
The advantages of eating plenty of tomatoes and tomato-based products even for a short period were clearly evident in our findings said the study's first author Adana Llanos Phd MPH who is an Assistant professor of Epidemiology
Eating fruits and vegetables which are rich in essential nutrients vitamins minerals and phytochemicals such as lycopene conveys significant benefits.
and vegetables would promote breast cancer prevention in an at-risk population. The longitudinal cross-over study examined the effects of both tomato-rich and soy-rich diets in a group of 70 postmenopausal women.
For 10 weeks the women ate tomato products containing at least 25 milligrams of lycopene daily.
For a separate 10-week period the participants consumed at least 40 grams of soy protein daily.
Before each test period began the women were instructed to abstain from eating both tomato and soy products for two weeks.
When they followed the tomato-rich diet participants'levels of adiponectin--a hormone involved in regulating blood sugar
Consuming a diet rich in tomatoes had a larger impact on hormone levels in women who maintained a healthy weight.
and vegetables every day is down to planning ahead effort and motivation. This is the finding of a study by researchers at the Lisbon University Institute
