Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 486-498, March 2026.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

Developing Indigenous Plant‐Enriched Yogurt to Enhance Iron Solubility—A Collaboration With Senegalese Women Farmers

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study utilized collaborations with Senegalese women farmers to investigate the impact of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation of sorghum, baobab, and milk on nutritional and sensory qualities for plant‐enriched yogurt. Using a simplex lattice mixture design, five samples of varying weight ratios of sorghum/baobab (17.5/32.5–47.5/2.5, w.

Phenological description for the initial development stage of five Brazilian native forest species according to BBCH scale

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 561-581, March 2026.
Morphology of the two main growth stages—germination and initial development of the forest species Ceiba speciosa (co, cotyledon; eo, eophyll; hp, hypocotyl; me, metaphyll; pk, prickles; pr, primary root; se, seed; sr, secondary root). Abstract A specific phenological scale designated for each forest species facilitates the standardization of different

Seasonal and Within‐Day Variation on Hummingbirds Visits and Dominance Hierarchy in a Brazilian Cerrado Area

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐hummingbird interaction networks can be influenced by environmental conditions and resources, which vary seasonally and daily. We aimed to understand how variations in these parameters across these two temporal windows influence patterns of plant‐hummingbird interactions and hummingbirds dominance hierarchies in a Brazilian Cerrado ...

Effect of land use change on Melolonthidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) beetle communities in the deforestation arc of the Brazilian Amazon

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 404-419, March 2026.
Habitat transformation in Amazon due to agriculture expansion impairs Melolonthidae diversity. Assemblage response towards habitat transformation are group‐dependent. Although highly disturbed, Amazon arc of deforestation region dwells sensitive insect assemblages. Abstract Although the Amazon provides crucial goods and ecosystem services for humanity,

Viral and Host Factors Involved in Host Gain and Host Loss by Tomato Leaf Curl Begomoviruses in Tomato and Cucumbers

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Begomoviruses have jumped hosts between tomatoes and cucumbers, and we found that a short region (transcriptional activator and replication enhancer proteins, TrAp and REn) of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is mainly responsible for host jump. ABSTRACT Begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies cause severe crop losses worldwide.
