Phylogeography and host‐shift speciation in the vampirecups, an enigmatic clade of endophytic holoparasitic plants

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 1852-1865, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Diversification of obligate parasites is often closely associated with historical shifts among host species. This phenomenon is well‐documented in animal parasites but still poorly understood for parasitic plants. We studied the associations between host shifts, biogeography and diversification in Cytinus, a genus of endophytic ...

Contribution of edible flowers to the Mediterranean diet: Phytonutrients, bioactivity evaluation and applications

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 592-630, December 2022., 2022
This review aimed to investigate the knowledge about the use and consumption of edible flowers as part of the Mediterranean cuisine, based on ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological studies especially from the last 10 years, and highlight their uses as a nutritious and functional food.

Biogeographic history of a large clade of ectomycorrhizal fungi, the Russulaceae, in the Neotropics and adjacent regions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 236, Issue 2, Page 698-713, October 2022., 2022
Summary The biogeography of neotropical fungi remains poorly understood. Here, we reconstruct the origins and diversification of neotropical lineages in one of the largest clades of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the globally widespread family Russulaceae.

Gypsum endemics accumulate excess nutrients in leaves as a potential constitutive strategy to grow in grazed extreme soils

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 174, Issue 4, July/August 2022., 2022
Abstract Extreme soils often have mineral nutrient imbalances compared to plant nutritional requirements and co‐occur in open areas where grazers thrive. Thus, plants must respond to both constraints, which can affect nutrient concentrations in all plant organs.

Profile of Medicinal Plants Traditionally Used for the Treatment of Skin Burns

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Moroccan folk healers use medicinal plants to treat several diseases including skin burns. The traditional knowledge of wound healing is not common among the general population. Only one ethnobotanical survey was carried out in Rabat, Morocco, to track the traditional use of medicinal plants in wound healing.

Endoparasitic plants and fungi show evolutionary convergence across phylogenetic divisions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 232, Issue 3, Page 1159-1167, November 2021., 2021
Summary Endoparasitic plants are the most reduced flowering plants, spending most of their lives as a network of filaments within the tissues of their hosts. Despite their extraordinary life form, we know little about their biology. Research into a few species has revealed unexpected insights, such as the total loss of plastome, the reduction of the ...

Linnaeus's folly – phylogeny, evolution and classification of Sedum (Crassulaceae) and Crassulaceae subfamily Sempervivoideae

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 892-926, October 2020., 2020
Abstract Sedum, containing approximately 470 species, is by far the largest genus of Crassulaceae. Three decades of molecular phylogenetic work have provided evidence for the non‐monophyly of Sedum and many more of the 30 genera of Crassulaceae subfam. Sempervivoideae.

Impact of Seasonal Variation on Antioxidant, Enzyme Inhibitory, and Anti‐Inflammatory Potentials of Cistus creticus Leaf Extracts

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2025.
The phytochemical profile and biological activities of Cistus creticus leaf ethanolic extracts show strong seasonal variation. Spring extracts contain the highest phenolic levels with potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory effects, while summer extracts are richest in flavonoids and exhibit the greatest sun protection factor value and enzyme ...

Metabolite Screening From Pinus pinea Needles Reveals (+)‐Isocupressic Acid as a Key Phytotoxin for Weed Management

open access: yesPhytochemical Analysis, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 2374-2384, December 2025.
This study explores the phytotoxicity of Pinus pinea needle extracts and metabolites to evaluate their potential for controlling dicotyledonous weeds. A strategy based on GC–MS, NMR, and optical methods revealed an array of aromatic compounds which are of crucial interest for phytochemical research. Hence, a bio‐guided purification led to the isolation

Adaptive plant traits under anthropogenic burning regimes: A database for UK heath and mire plant species

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Premise Humans have used fire to manage landscapes for millennia, but this use of fire is declining in many ecosystems. Understanding how plants respond to these changes is key to predicting ecosystem resilience and impacts on services such as biodiversity and carbon sequestration. However, many ecosystems lack data on plant fire responses.
