Using a doubled haploid B. napus ... -
Environmental Labelling of Food
Lewis, Kathleen (2011)An invited conference presentation that discussed the finding of a recent state-of-the-art review into environmental labelling of food that lead to polict recommendations to Defra for teh way forward for the UK. -
Erratum: The impact of climate change on disease constraints on production of oilseed rape (vol 2, pg 143, 2010)
Evans, Neal; Butterworth, Michael H.; Baierl, Andreas; Semenov, Mikhail A.; West, Jon S.; Barnes, Andrew; Moran, Dominic; Fitt, Bruce D.L. (2011-03)Weather data generated for different parts of the UK under five climate change scenarios (baseline, 2020s low CO2 emissions, 2020s high emissions, 2050s low emissions, 2050s high emissions) was inputted into weather-based ... -
Evaluating and adapting the Mediterranean diet for non-Mediterranean populations : a critical appraisal
Hoffman, Richard; Gerber, Mariette (2013)This review discusses the limitations of current techniques for evaluating the Mediterranean diet in non-Mediterranean populations, and how differences between the eating and lifestyle habits of these two populations may ... -
