Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Chemical composition of the endocarps of fruits of Styrax officinalis L.
Natural Product Research, 2015 Endocarps of fruits of Styrax officinalis L. have been subjected to a phytochemical investigation. Five compounds, americanin A (1), egonololeat (2), egonol-2‴-metil butanoat (3), egonolgentiobiside (4) and homoegonolgentiobiside (5) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by using spectroscopic methods and comparison with the literature data ...

Effect of packing conditions on the acrylamide content in black ripe olives
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 8, Page 4635-4642, June 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Black ripe olives are considered a ‘low‐acid canned food’ and must be sterilized in order to be safe. Acrylamide, a potential carcinogen, is formed in black olives during the thermal treatment. It is known that the formation of acrylamide is dependent on the pH of the olive flesh. The purpose of this study was designed to assess the

Soybean seed coat properties as determinants of natto and sprout quality
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 8, Page 4994-5011, June 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Improving breeding efficiency for superior soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) germplasm used in natto and sprouts requires understanding how seed coat properties relate to quality and functional traits. METHODS We measured seed weight, water uptake, and sprout length and thickness across various genotypes tested at different locations
