A Preliminary Assessment of Hedge Plant Species and Their Distribution in Rural Eastern Africa and Their Potential Role in Driving Invasions

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Alien plant species are widely utilised for ornament, agro‐forestry, or even for restoration and are more likely to be introduced multiple times and disseminated widely across a landscape. Here we report on the native and alien species used for hedging purposes in rural and peri‐urban eastern Africa and undertake a preliminary assessment to ...

Effect of irrigation, planting position, and application of calcium silicate on garlic development in ‘Serra Gaúcha’ region, South Brazil

Pesquisa Agropecuária Gaúcha, 2022
Garlic crop is widely distributed in the Serra Gaúcha region, South Brazil. However, there is little information relative to irrigation in garlic, and on the influence of bulbil planting position in the development of the crop.

Food System Change, Development, and Vulnerability in Semi‐Agricultural Areas of Tibet

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, Volume 48, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT With social and economic development, food systems have significantly changed on the Tibetan plateau over the last two decades. However, the impact of dietary change on Tibetans and their communities remains less well known. This article examines how food change happens in semi‐agricultural areas of eastern Tibet within the context of ...

Salicylic Acid in Combination with Protectants Enhances the Growth in Salt‐Stressed Polianthes tuberosa L. Plants by Regulating Photosynthesis and Antioxidants

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Salt stress (SS) poses a significant threat to cut flower geophytes. This study evaluated the impact of SS on vegetative growth and photosynthetic activities in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) and assessed the efficacy of 300 ppm salicylic acid (SA) alone or in combination with 100 ppm indole acetic acid (IAA), 300 ppm ascorbic acid (AA), and 300 ppm

New norclerodane diterpenoids from bulbils of Dioscorea bulbifera L.

Natural Product Research, 2023
Investigation of extracts from bulbils of Dioscorea bulbifera L. yielded two new norclerodane diterpenoids, diosbulbin N acetate (1) and epi-diosbulbin B (3), together with eleven known compounds. Their structures were established based on spectroscopy.

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

Bulbil formation in stress: Crucial role of triploid fitness in mixed ploidy dynamics in Costus speciosus

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Upon prolonged waterlogging, a Costus speciosus plant developed bulbils at stem node. Karyotype analysis, nucleolar staining, and anatomical study revealed its triploid status and developmental aspects. Prevalence of tetraploid, abundance, and unique reproductive fecundity of the triploid, indicates its determinant role in coexistence of the multiple ...

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Alien Plant Invasion in Native Shrublands

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Habitat fragmentation is one of the main reasons for high rates of alien plants in natural areas. This study investigated the influence of multiple factors (grazing, fragment size, and habitat structure) on alien plant invasion of kānuka shrublands.

Effects of Inorganic Fertilizer Application on the Quality and Sensory Attributes of White Yam (Dioscorea rotundata) Varieties

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Dioscorea rotundata yam is an economically important staple food and constitutes a significant proportion of the essential carbohydrate requirements of the people in West Africa. Over the years, the tuber crop has witnessed a significant increase in production, partly due to the application of inorganic fertilizer.
