The seed transcriptome of Rafflesia reveals horizontal gene transfer and convergent evolution: Implications for conserving the world's largest flower

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 448-466, March 2025.
Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic plants with the largest flowers in the world, unique to the threatened forest habitats of tropical Asia. Here, we report on genes that are active (the transcriptome) in Rafflesia seeds as part of a larger effort to understand Rafflesia.

A Narrative Review of Wild and Semiwild Edible Plants in Ethiopia: Agroecological Perspectives, Ethnic Diversity, Proximate Composition, and Phytochemical Analysis

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
All over the world, wild edible plants are predominantly the sources of famine food. Ethiopia, with food‐insecure populations, needs such food‐supplementing plant groups. The current review article is aimed at presenting a compiled list of the species, showing the diversity of the species, and elaborating on their major threats and values.
