Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) Towards Utilization of Justicia heterocarpa (Mwidu) in Kiroka Village, Morogoro Rural Tanzania

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study assessed Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of the Waluguru community towards Justicia heterocarpa. Findings revealed a moderately positive attitude and practices but limited utilization due to a significant knowledge gap in cultivation and post‐harvest handling, as well as socio‐cultural barriers.

Beyond conservation: the landscape of chloroplast genome rearrangements in angiosperms

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2571-2580, September 2025.
Summary Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) have long been considered structurally conserved, but recent sequencing efforts have uncovered pervasive rearrangements that challenge this assumption. This review catalogues the main types of plastome modifications: large and small inversions; insertions and deletions (indels); gene and intron losses; horizontal

Seasonal and Landscape‐Driven Variations in Forage Resources of Apis mellifera scutellata: Implications for Pollination Sustainability and Colony Health in Taita Taveta County, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We used DNA metabarcoding to identify nectar and pollen plant species supporting honey bee nutrition across different landscapes and seasons in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. Forage availability was influenced by landscape and season, with exotic species (67%) dominating over native ones (33%), raising concerns about colony health and how the occurrence ...

Impact of land management on herbaceous vegetation diversity and forage provision in the Great Green Wall in Burkina Faso

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 105-120, June 2025.
According to the disturbance gradient, the species richness of herbaceous vegetation increased from fenced (less disturbed) to fallow (most disturbed). The pastoral value and biomass production of grazing land were higher in protected areas (fenced land) than in unprotected areas (community forests and fallow land), suggesting that conservation ...

Lessons from a student‐led breeding effort on leafy African vegetables in Minnesota

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract The Community Plant Breeding Team, a student‐led plant breeding initiative at the University of Minnesota, was initiated in 2021 in direct response to the local demand for culturally relevant food. We focus on improving access to African leafy vegetables, which are in high demand but face challenges such as poor adaptation to the Minnesota ...
