Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

This study examined how Mediterranean annual plants adjust leaf traits (SLA and LDMC) across rainfall gradients and microclimates, considering both genetic differentiation and plasticity under drought and competition. Contrary to expectations from the Leaf Economics Spectrum, populations from drier macroclimates evolved more acquisitive leaves (higher ...

Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...

ABSTRACT Faba beans are emerging as a promising alternative protein source for bakeries, snacks, cereals and ready‐to‐eat foods. The quality and consistency of such products depend strongly on the processing behaviour of their flours, including handling, storage, mixing and extrusion performance, all of which are governed by flour flow and structural ...

Nutritional Composition, Phenolic Content, and Antioxidant Assessment of Mediterranean Lupinus Seeds
ABSTRACT This study presents a comprehensive biochemical characterization and antioxidant profiling of four Mediterranean lupin species, namely Lupinus albus L., Lupinus luteus L., Lupinus cosentinii Guss., and Lupinus gussoneanus J. Agardh, to assess their potential as sustainable functional ingredients.
