Restoring delta resilience: phased socio‐ecological model for coastal recovery in Mediterranean Turkey

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal delta regions experiencing long‐term ecological degradation and sudden natural disasters require restoration approaches that are adaptive, process‐based, and context‐specific. The Samandağ coastline in southern Turkey, part of the Mediterranean Asi River Delta, has faced hydrological disruption, habitat fragmentation, and ...

Microbial Life Inside Posidonia Seeds: Beneficial Endophytes and Implications for Marine Plant Health

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Seagrass Posidonia oceanica seeds host diverse bacterial and fungal endophytes with plant‐growth–promoting traits, including nitrogen fixation and hormone production. These microbes may be vertically transmitted and support seedling establishment, offering insights for marine plant conservation and biotechnological applications.

Native Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Characterization from Saline Lands in Arid Oases, Northwest China

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2020
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize land plants in almost every ecosystem, even in extreme conditions, such as saline soils. In the present work, we report the mycorrhizal capacity of rhizosphere soils collected in the dry desert region of the ...

Phytochemical Profiling of the Halophyte Artemisia fukudo Makino and Its In Vitro Effects on Androgen‐Related Pathways Associated With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Alopecia

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated the phytochemical constituents of the halophyte Artemisia fukudo, leading to the isolation and identification of eight compounds characterized by HPLC–DAD and ESI–MS. Importantly, we demonstrate for the first time that jaceidin inhibits 5α‐reductase type 2 and downregulates BPH‐associated proteins (AR, PSA, and PCNA) in prostate

Fungal and Fungal-like Diseases of Halophytes in the Mediterranean Basin: A State-of-the-Art Review

open access: yesHorticulturae
Halophytes are salt-tolerant plants growing in saline ecosystems and are spread throughout the Mediterranean area. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in agricultural exploitation of halophytes, but poor attention has been given to pest and ...

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Under salt stress, quinoa stomatal guard cells control transpiration in an ABA‐primed manner

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2372-2385, March 2026.
Summary Stomatal guard cells, located at the interface between the leaf and the atmosphere, play a key role in transpiration control and photosynthetic CO2 uptake. Halophytes like Chenopodium quinoa tolerate high soil salinity, but the mechanisms governing guard cell responses to salinity stress in relation to the associated epidermal bladder cells ...

Metabolite Profiling and Anticancer Evaluation of Iraqi Haloxylon articulatum Halophyte via LC–HRMS/MS, Molecular Docking, and ADMET Analysis

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study investigates the phytochemical composition and biological activities of a hydroalcoholic extract of Haloxylon articulatum. LC‐HRMS/MS identified diverse bioactive compounds, notably N‐caffeoyltyramine and sinapoyltyramine. The extract exhibited strong antioxidant activity and significant cytotoxic effects against gastric cancer cell lines ...

Extreme environments in a world of new extremes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Extreme environments, whether defined by climate, soils, or disturbance, at landscape or micro‐scales, are prevalent across Earth's surface and have long served as crucibles for ecological and evolutionary insights. Many foundational theories were developed in deserts, cliffs, ultramafic soils, and other harsh systems.
