Bioactive Phytochemical Compounds in Medicago sativa L. (Alfalfa): A Systematic Review of Biological Properties and Therapeutic Relevance in Nutraceutical and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...

Mechanism of Alfalfa in Enhancing Goose Egg Yolk Flavor: An Analysis Based on Metabolomics and Quantitative Lipidomics

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organic egg production requires daily provision of coarse feed, fresh or dried forage, and silage to poultry. This study employed flavoromics, metabolomics, and quantitative lipidomics to investigate the effects of replacing 0% (CK), 10% (T10), and 20% (T20) of the basal diet of laying geese with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on the sensory ...

Integrating land sharing and sparing paradigms in grassland ecology: A perspective on balancing livestock production and biodiversity

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
This study explores how dispersed grazing (grassland sharing) enhances biodiversity and ecosystem health compared to concentrated grazing (grassland sparing) in Inner Mongolia's grasslands, balancing livestock production with conservation. Abstract The increasing global demand for livestock products (meat, milk, and wool) drives overgrazing, leading to

Soil microbiomes in degraded grasslands: Assembly, function, and application

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The key research priorities for microbial response studies and ecological restoration practices for degraded grasslands. Abstract Grassland ecosystems are pivotal to sustaining multiple ecosystem functions and services like climate regulation, carbon sequestration, and grass production.

Agroforestry: A holistic approach at the forest–grassland interface in the context of adaptation to climate change

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Agroforestry offers innovative solutions for climate change adaptation by strategically integrating trees with crops or livestock. Water scarcity can be addressed while improving agricultural production. This holistic approach creates resilient landscapes that better withstand environmental challenges.

Genome‐wide identification of MsAlkB family genes and functional analysis of MsALKBH2 as an RNA m6A eraser in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) subject to drought stress

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
MsALKBH2 is an mRNA m6A demethylase in alfalfa that is required for enhancing drought tolerance through decreasing ROS content. Abstract Background N6‐methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent mRNA modification in plants, plays a pivotal role in developmental processes and stress responses.

An online survey of farmers' perspectives on the adoption of multispecies swards: Barriers, benefits and knowledge gaps

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
An Irish farmer survey found that multispecies swards can reduce fertiliser use and enhance drought resilience and biodiversity. While awareness is high, adoption is limited by challenges like weed control and grazing management. Farmers want clearer guidance and prefer learning through hands‐on events like open days and discussion groups.
