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.

Extensive Field Observations Throw Light on the Evolution of Mimicry in Camponotus lateralis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Camponotus lateralis (C, D) mimics regional color morphs of Crematogaster (A, B). Field trips brought insights into ecology, trail sharing, sexual reproduction, colony foundation, nest defense, and predation pressure of this mimetic ant. We found that the mimicry is Batesian and suggest several preadaptations for its evolution.

Beech Leaf Disease Associated With Changes in Litter Decomposition and Fungal Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Less than 15 years ago beech leaf disease was identified as a newly emerging forest pest. There is still little known about the larger ecosystem impact. Our study is at the forefront of understanding how this newly emerging disease is impacting leaf litter decomposition and fungal communities in highly infested areas. ABSTRACT Forest pests and diseases

Phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of bee pollens belonging to drimia spp. and castanea sativa l. [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi
Bee pollen is a nutrient-dense food and dietary supplement whose nutritional and bioactive properties are largely influenced by its botanical source. Its composition reflects the diversity of the plants from which they are collected, resulting in a rich ...

Lower competition in grasslands and higher facilitation in forests as potential drivers of the higher species richness of calcareous than siliceous communities

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
We tested the hypothesis that, in calcareous and siliceous ecosystems from the wet temperate climate of southwest France, competition primarily explains differences in community composition and species richness in grasslands but that facilitation is more determinant in forests. In a first experiment, we transplanted, in dry and wet years, grass species

Speed Breeding Transgenic American Chestnut Trees Toward Restoration

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was a dominant, foundational forest canopy tree in eastern North America until an imported chestnut blight (caused by Cryphonectria parasitica) rendered it functionally extinct across its native range. Biotechnological approaches have the potential to help restore the species, but field‐based breeding ...

Structural and Functional Properties of Araucaria araucana and Araucaria angustifolia Seed Proteins as a Plant‐Based Food Source

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 3, Issue 4, December 2025.
Morphologically, A. angustifolia seeds were significantly larger, while A. araucana exhibited more regular, triangular shapes. Proximate composition revealed a carbohydrate‐rich profile in both species, with a significantly higher lipid content in A. araucana. Amino acid analysis showed similar profiles, with high levels of aspartic and glutamic acids.
