Harnessing the nutritional potential of Cape wild edible plants: Insights, gaps and priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wild edible plants hold significant potential to strengthen food systems by enhancing nutrition, dietary diversity, climate resilience, sustainability and deeper connection of people to their food. In this study, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify knowledge gaps and assess the nutritional contributions of selected wild edible ...

Multiple roles for UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 in regulating gene expression and metabolite accumulation in arabidopsis under solar ultraviolet radiation [PDF]

, 2013
Photomorphogenic responses triggered by low fluence rates of ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B; 280–315 nm) are mediated by the UV-B photoreceptor UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 (UVR8).

Salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the

Growth responses of Atriplex lentiformis and Medicago arborea in three soil types treated with saline water irrigation. [PDF]

, 2016
Large amounts of industrial wastewater, often of high in salt content, are produced by urban activities or industries which require reuse or disposal and thus can be potentially used in agriculture to ease the pressure on freshwater supply for irrigation.

Soybean Inositol Polyphosphate 5‐Phosphatase 8 Confers Salt Tolerance by Reducing Sodium Influx Through Inositol 1,4,5‐Trisphosphate Signalling

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that the metabolism of inositol and its derivatives may be involved in various biological processes including salt tolerance, but there has been limited understanding. Ectopic expression of Gs5PTase8, an inositol polyphosphate 5‐phosphatase cloned from wild soybean (Glycine soja), significantly enhanced salt tolerance in ...

Phylogenomics and systematics of African Sesuvium (Aizoaceae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Sesuvium (Sesuvioideae‐Aizoaceae) comprises leaf succulent annual and perennial herbs distributed in coastal or saline sites of subtropical and tropical regions. Some species of the genus tolerate highly salinized or polluted soils and show soil‐improving properties.
