Maize kernel oil is a valuable source of nutrition. Here we extensively examine the genetic architecture of maize oil biosynthesis in a genome-wide association study using 1.03 million SNPs characterized in 368 maize inbred lines, including 'high-oil' lines. We identified
Hydrothermal liquefaction of cornstalk at 180-300 °C at ratios of water to cornstalk of 6-14 was conducted, and the reaction products were lumped into gas, water-soluble organics (ethanol-insoluble and ethanol-soluble organics), heavy oil, volatile organic compounds, and acid-soluble and acid-insoluble
We previously demonstrated that lifelong feeding of diets enriched in n-3 fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) significantly inhibits HER-2/neu-mediated mammary tumorigenesis in mice. Of interest is whether dietary n-3 fatty acids exert effects at
The inhibitor of apoptosis protein survivin is selectively expressed in tumor cells. The tobacco component nicotine increases the transcription of the survivin gene in non-small cell lung cancer cells. However, the role of survivin expression induced by tobacco component is

An experiment was conducted to determine the true ileal digestibility (TID) and the true total tract digestibility (TTTD) of acid-hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE) in extracted corn oil, high-oil corn, distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), corn germ, and high protein
