Duckweeds: Model organisms for research on plant sterols and steroids
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 18-30, January 2026.Duckweeds (Lemnaceae), the fastest‐growing angiosperms and promising vegan protein source, offer a powerful model to address key questions in plant physiology. This article highlights their potential for dissecting the biosynthesis and function of phytosterols, sterol conjugates, brassinosteroids, and specialized steroidal metabolites, such as ...

Micropropagation of Dioscorea alata L. through nodal segments
African Journal of Biotechnology, 2013 Yams (Dioscorea) are well known for their medicinal use as well as nutritional values. Dioscorea plants are rapidly vanishing from nature due to their over-exploitation by human beings. In order to conserve Dioscorea plants, the present investigation was carried out with a view to regenerate plantlet of Dioscorea alata L.

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background The global dominance of a few major cereal crops has led to the marginalization of traditional species, reducing agrobiodiversity and increasing the vulnerability of food systems. Changing climate conditions, particularly intensifying drought stress, further threaten global food security.
