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

Journal 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 ...

Temperature robustness and viscoelasticity of soy protein‐stabilized palm oil emulsions containing glycerol monostearate and oat fiber

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Most studies of high oil content soy protein‐stabilized emulsions have focused on fluid systems, with limited attention given to the thermo‐mechanical behavior of firm emulsions. This study examined the thermal robustness and mechanical properties of palm oil‐based emulsions stabilized with soy protein isolate, glycerol monostearate

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...
