Black Chickpea Landraces as a Sustainable Protein Source: Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Technological Properties

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Neglected legume landraces represent valuable genetic resources for sustainable food systems, yet their compositional and technological properties remain poorly explored. This study comprehensively characterized the flours obtained from two Sicilian black chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) landraces, Rough Black Chickpeas (RBC) and Smooth Black ...

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1616-1633, September 2026.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1904-1924, September 2026.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

De Stupro: First Insights on Rape and Its Prosecution in Maltese Courts (1701–10)

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 265-286, September 2026.
Abstract This article constitutes a first in‐depth investigation of rape and the prosecution of this crime in early eighteenth‐century Malta. The research, which is based on sixteen rape accusations claimed at the secular courts in Malta between 1701 and 1710, has analysed cases categorized as ‘simple rape’, ‘violent rape’ and rape committed under the ...
