Enhancing Neglected and Underutilized Crop Species (NUCS) in Nepal: Unlocking Their Potential for Climate Resilience, Food Security, and Agrobiodiversity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The global dominance of a few major cereal crops has led to the marginalization of traditional species, reducing agrobiodiversity and increasing the vulnerability of food systems. Changing climate conditions, particularly intensifying drought stress, further threaten global food security.

Steeping and Germination as Technological Strategies to Enhance the Biofunctional Properties of Huauzontle (Chenopodium berlandieri subsp. nuttalliae) Seeds for Metabolic Health Applications

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Despite its phylogenetic relationship to quinoa, one of the most extensively studied pseudocereals worldwide, huauzontle (Chenopodium berlandieri subsp. nuttalliae) remains overlooked in terms of its nutritional composition and functional properties.

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Yield and qualitative characterisation of seeds of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. and Amaranthus cruentus L. grown in central Italy

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2017
Amaranth can be considered a very interesting crop for the Mediterranean region, thanks to its inherent tolerance to disadvantageous growing conditions, along with the high nutritional and nutraceutical value of its seeds.

Root‐Applied Phyto‐Courier Loaded With Rutin Translocates to Aerial Tissues Inducing Molecular and Anatomical Changes in Cannabis sativa Under Salinity

Nano Select, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
The rutin‐loaded phyto‐courier formulation was taken up by hemp roots and translocated to aerial organs, inducing changes in the metabolome and gene expression. Under salt stress, the formulation preserved the leaf palisade layer and promoted the development of bast fibers in the stems.
