[What is Barley ?]

Barley is an annual grass. Barley grass is the leaf of the barley plant, as opposed to the grain. It is capable of growing in a wide range of climatic conditions. Barley grass has greater nutritional value if harvested at a young age.

[How does it work?]

The fiber in barley might lower cholesterol and blood pressure in people with high cholesterol. Barley may also reduce blood sugar and insulin levels. Barley seems to slow stomach emptying. This could help keep blood sugar stable and create a sensation of being full, which might help to control appetite.

50 grams cocoa powder
150 grams sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 eggs

100 grams melted chocolate
50 grams sprinkles

PREPARATION

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over a medium heat.
3. Stir in the cocoa powder, sugar and vanilla extract.
4. Take off the heat and whisk in the eggs one at a time.
5. Tear off a piece of greaseproof paper and scrunch into a small ball.
6. Place the the paper balls in the centre of each hole in a muffin tin.
7. Pour the chocolate doughnut mixture in the muffin tin holes, circling around the paper balls and being careful not to cover them.
8. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
9. Carefully take the doughnuts out of the muffin tin.
10. Take out the paper balls with your fingers. You should have a circle-shaped hole in each doughnut.

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction, by TEM Tomography, of the Ultrastructural Modifications Occurring in Cucumis sativus L. Mitochondria under Fe Deficiency. Gianpiero Vigani et al (2015), PLoS ONE https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0129141

Background

Mitochondria, as recently suggested, might be involved in iron sensing and signalling pathways in plant cells. For a better understanding of the role of these organelles in mediating the Fe deficiency responses in plant cells, it is crucial to provide a full overview of their modifications occurring under Fe-limited conditions. The aim of this work is to characterize the ultrastructural as well as the biochemical changes occurring in leaf mitochondria of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants grown under Fe deficiency.

Methodology/Results

Mitochondrial ultrastructure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron tomography techniques, which allowed a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of cellular structures. These analyses reveal that mitochondria isolated from cucumber leaves appear in the cristae junction model conformation and that Fe deficiency strongly alters both the number and the volume of cristae. The ultrastructural changes observed in mitochondria isolated from Fe-deficient leaves reflect a metabolic status characterized by a respiratory chain operating at a lower rate (orthodox-like conformation) with respect to mitochondria from control leaves.

Conclusions

To our knowledge, this is the first report showing a 3D reconstruction of plant mitochondria. Furthermore, these results suggest that a detailed characterization of the link between changes in the ultrastructure and functionality of mitochondria during different nutritional conditions, can provide a successful approach to understand the role of these organelles in the plant response to Fe deficiency.
