Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

From niche to scale: enabling factors for saline agriculture in the North Sea and Mediterranean regions

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Salinisation is one of the most pressing environmental challenges affecting agricultural land and food production worldwide. Although the challenge is substantial, saline agriculture represents a promising approach that integrates soil, water and crop management practices tailored to salt‐affected lands, enabling both adaptation to ...

The effect of light supplementation on the changes in outer and inner fruit quality of different Selenicereus spp. cultivars

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Selenicereus spp., belonging to the Cactaceae family, produces pitaya, a fruit recognized for its exotic appearance and rich phytochemical composition. In regions with shorter photoperiods, flowering and fruit development are limited, making light supplementation a promising strategy.

Shifting baselines in Mediterranean artisanal fisheries

open access: yes, 2017
A sobre-exploração dos recursos marinhos em conjunto com uma insuficiente gestão costeira e pesqueira levou à degradação dos ecossistemas marinhos, à perda de biodiversidade e serviços ecossistémicos a nível global. Especificamente, a intensificação da atividade pesqueira levou ao decréscimo de abundância de espécies ao longo do tempo e com o ...

Degradation kinetics of postharvest quality attributes of rocket leaves grown under different nitrogen rates

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Diplotaxis tenuifolia L. cv Dallas (rocket leaves) is one of the most widely consumed fresh‐cut salad vegetables in Europe, especially in southern Italy, being appreciated for its pungent taste and health promoting phytochemicals. However, its short postharvest shelf‐life is still a major drawback.
