Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Valorization of the peel and husk of guaraná (Paullinia cupana): oil extraction, chemical composition, cytotoxicity, and antitumor potential

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Guaraná (Paullinia cupana) is a fruit native to the Amazon region. Due to its widespread use, primarily in beverages, its production has grown over the years. The seed is the only commercially valuable part of the fruit so the guaraná production chain generates byproducts, including peel, husk, and spent seed.
