Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as

Nucellar beak structure and pollen tube growth in Cucurbitaceae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The nucellar beak is a proboscis-like outgrowth of the nucellus at the micropylar end, being the obliged path for the pollen tube entering the ovule. Among the few angiosperm families with nucellar beak, Cucurbitaceae is remarkable because the pollen ...

Food and Medicine Homologous Plants in Osteoporosis: A Scoping Review of Preclinical Evidence

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Food and medicine homologous (FMH) plants and their bioactive compounds exhibit potential osteoprotective effects through multiple complementary mechanisms, including estrogen‐like signaling, attenuation of oxidative stress, modulation of the gut microbiota–bone axis, and regulation of autophagy.

Beautiful and Useful: Species Richness and the Ecosystem Services of Allotment Gardens in Berlin, Germany

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intensive agriculture and urbanization have led to habitat degradation and fragmentation, reducing plant diversity and subsequently reducing pollinator abundance and richness. This paper investigates the conservation potential of green infrastructure in allotment gardens, which are a common form of urban land use.

The Biosynthesis and Functions of Flavonoids: Recent Advances From Studies Across Land Plant Diversity

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
Over the last decade there have been significant advances in genome sequencing and model species development for ferns, lycophytes, and the bryophyte lineages—mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. This has facilitated research on the biosynthesis and function of flavonoids in these non‐seed land‐plant lineages.

Haplotype‑resolved comparison of transcription factor superfamilies between wild and cultivated autotetraploid green jujube and prioritization of candidate transcription factors via machine learning

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract A framework beyond single‐reference genomes is needed to understand transcription factor evolution. This study employed an integrated haplotype‑resolved genomes–transcriptome atlas–machine learning to characterize the transcription factors of autotetraploid green jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana).
