Project description:Origanum oil (ORO), garlic oil (GAO), and peppermint oil (PEO) were shown to effectively lower methane production, decrease abundance of methanogens, and change abundances of several bacterial populations important to feed digestion in vitro. In this study, the impact of these essential oils (EOs, at 0.50 g/L), on the rumen bacterial community composition was further examined using the recently developed RumenBactArray.

Project description:Cassava is the most important root crop in the tropics but rapid post-harvest physiological root deterioration (PPD) is a major constraint to commercial cassava production. We used label-free quantitative proteomics to generate an extensive cassava root and PPD proteome. Over 2400 unique proteins were identified in the cassava root and nearly 300 proteins showed significant abundance regulation during PPD. A candidate gene for reducing PPD was identified from the regulated proteins with enzymatic assays and afterwards verified with a transgene approach. This demonstrates the relevance of proteomics approach for crop improvements.
