A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

A step into the shadows: Evolutionary shifts in fruit structure and dispersal strategies in Asian mycoheterotrophic Ericaceae

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Molecular Identification of Endophytic Bacteria in Leucojum aestivum In Vitro Culture, NMR-Based Metabolomics Study and LC-MS Analysis Leading to Potential Amaryllidaceae Alkaloid Production

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
In this study, endophytic bacteria belonging to the Bacillus genus were isolated from in vitro bulblets of Leucojum aestivum and their ability to produce Amaryllidaceae alkaloids was studied.

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
