This research investigates glutamate as an alternative to antibiotics for treating diarrhoea in piglets. Early separation from their mothers causes stress, weakening immunity and increasing infection risk. Supplementing piglets with glutamate improved gut health, reduced diarrhoea, and enhanced growth, offering a potential strategy to reduce antibiotic resistance.

This research investigates feronia, a plant protein essential for heat adaptation. By studying how feronia regulates auxin signaling and plant growth under temperature stress, the work aims to uncover mechanisms that could support the development of heat-resilient crops, improving agricultural productivity and food security in a warming global climate.

This research investigates oleosomes, natural oil-protecting structures found in plants, as a way to preserve healthy lipids against oxidation. Using walnuts as a model system, the study showed that intact oleosomes dramatically extend lipid stability and shelf life, potentially enabling healthier, more sustainable food products rich in beneficial fats.

This research examines how microorganisms in maple sap influence the quality of maple syrup. By studying bacteria such as Pseudomonas and Duganella, the project explores how environmental factors like temperature and iron availability shape microbial interactions during the tapping season, ultimately affecting syrup flavor, color, and overall production.
