Antioxidant Activity, Carbohydrate‐Hydrolysing Enzyme Inhibition, Antihyperglycaemic Effect and Associated Expression Changes of Bryophyllum pinnatum‐Fortified Wheat‐Plantain Snack in Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetic Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The developed wheat‐plantain‐based snack with Bryophyllum pinnatum had enhanced antioxidant properties, with high α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activities. When fed to STZ‐induced diabetic rats, it showed antidiabetic, hypo‐lipidaemic and anti‐inflammatory potentials, thus making it a fresh opportunity for the snacking community who are

The US Virtual Herbarium: working with individual herbaria to build a national resource

ZooKeys, 2012
The goal of the US Virtual Herbarium (USVH) project is to digitize (database, image, georeference) all specimens in all US herbaria, enabling them to be made available through a single portal. Herbaria house specimens of plants, fungi, and algae, so USVH

Morphological and phenological shifts in semiarid grasses paralleled climate and land use changes

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Plants respond to climate change through shifts in traits such as height, leaf width, and flowering time. However, little is known about how grass species in semiarid ecosystems are responding. In this study, we tested three hypotheses: (1) grass species

Pollen Morphology of Crucianella L. (Rubiaceae) Based on Light and Scanning Electron Microscope Data and Implications for Taxonomy

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
This study provides the palynological analysis of 12 Crucianella L. taxa using LM and SEM. Variations in pollen size, aperture number, and exine ornamentation were identified as key traits, demonstrating their taxonomic value for distinguishing closely related species and subspecies within the genus. ABSTRACT Crucianella L.

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis and comprehensive evaluation of antibacterial, antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties of Thymus capitatus extracts from Libya

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The emergence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria necessitates the development of alternative therapeutic approaches. Thymus capitatus, a Mediterranean medicinal plant, has been traditionally used to treat various ailments, but its bioactive potential from Libyan origins remains underexplored.

Saussurea × media (Asteraceae), a new natural hybrid between S. parviflora and S. controversa

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Saussurea × media Yusupovsky and E.Pjak (Asteraceae), a new nothospecies from the Altai‐Sayan Mountains, is described and illustrated. In this study, we sequenced the internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the chloroplast intergenic spacers rsp16‐trnQ and ycf4‐cemA to verify the hypothesis of hybridization between Saussurea parviflora

Further fragmentation of Timonius (Rubiaceae): reinstatement of Abbottia based on morphology and molecular sequence data

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The circumscription of the Paleotropical dioecious and species‐rich genus Timonius Rumph. ex DC. nom. cons.has long been based on a restricted combination of morphological features, namely valvate corolla aestivation and drupes bearing multiple, free, single‐seeded pyrenes. Previous studies, focused on different taxonomic problems in tribe Guettardeae,
