Plants synthesize ergothioneine, showing a link to abiotic stress
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Various plants possess ergothioneine biosynthetic genes and can synthesize this antioxidant, where increased EGT levels under abiotic stress conditions indicate protective functions. Abstract Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulphur‐containing histidine derivative and a potent antioxidant that exhibits beneficial effects on human health.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In
