Overcoming barriers to build partnerships for managing plant invasions under global change

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Non‐native plant invasions are a cross‐boundary conservation challenge, requiring coordinated management and policy responses underpinned by science. Global change is expected to exacerbate this challenge by changing abiotic and biotic drivers of invasive plant distribution, abundance, and impact. Current approaches may no longer be effective,

A Sequence-Independent Strategy for Amplification and Characterisation of Episomal Badnavirus Sequences Reveals Three Previously Uncharacterised Yam Badnaviruses

Viruses, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes.

Prevention of In‐Stent Restenosis After PCI by Saponin Natural Products: Inhibition of Platelet Activation

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 3, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) enables coronary revascularisation and restores haemodynamic stability but also carries risks of delayed complications including in‐stent restenosis (ISR), a chronic progressive disease with endovascular damage after PCI, which compromises the long‐term efficacy of PCI.

Funtional Properties of Starch Yam (Dioscorea bulbífera,Dioscorea trífida y Dioscorea esculenta)

Revista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2016
The physicochemical and rheological properties of three yam (D.bulbifera, D.trifida and D.esculenta) species were studied using a completely random with unifactorial arrangement design. The results presented significant differences (p < 0,05) with a water absorption capacity between 134% and 165%, electrical capacity between 100,7 μohms cm-1 and ...

From Local Biodiversity to Global Food Security: Antioxidant Evidence of Unconventional Edible Plants (2020–2025)

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.
This scoping review (2020–2025) compiles validated evidence on the antioxidant potential of unconventional edible plants (PANCs). Thirty species showed high phenolic content and strong radical‐scavenging activity, reinforcing their role as natural antioxidants and sustainable alternatives to synthetic additives within biodiversity‐based food systems ...
