A Near Telomere‐to‐Telomere Genome of Belamcanda chinensis Provides Insights Into Genome Evolution and the Biosynthesis of Characteristic Isoflavones

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4285-4301, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Belamcanda chinensis is a non‐leguminous medicinal plant rich in bioactive isoflavones; however, the lack of a high‐quality reference genome has limited elucidation of its isoflavone biosynthetic and modification network. Here, we present the first near telomere‐to‐telomere genome assembly of B.

Does water vole diet meet the prerequisites of the “plant hypothesis” for explaining population cycles?

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

Multi‐Target Mechanisms of Moroccan Aphrodisiac Plants: An Integrative Computational and Phytochemical Investigation

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Moroccan medicinal plants with in silico‐approved aphrodisiac effects provide 94 phytochemicals. Docking against PDE5, AR, ERα, and aromatase gives top scores for lutein (−10.6), baicalein (−9.5), liquiritigenin (−9.2), and procyanidins (−9.7). ADMET filtering passes baicalein and liquiritigenin but excludes lutein and procyanidins. MD simulations (200

RAPD Analysis in Crocus sativus L. Accessions and Related Crocus Species

open access: yesBiologia plantarum, 2004
In the present paper a Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) investigation was carried out on DNAs from five Crocus sativus L. (saffron) accessions cultivated in different countries and on six closely related Crocus species. Aims of the study are to check whether cultivated saffron has maintained a constant genomic organisation and to clarify its ...
