Bioactive Phytochemical Compounds in Medicago sativa L. (Alfalfa): A Systematic Review of Biological Properties and Therapeutic Relevance in Nutraceutical and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...

Plants and Insect Eggs: First Report of a Katydid Using a Fern as Host for Oviposition

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Ferns are the second most diverse lineage of vascular plants worldwide and are particularly abundant in tropical forests. However, the ecological significance of such remarkable diversity has been often underestimated. In this article, we report for the first time the observation of ferns, specifically Polytaenium cajenense (Desv.) Benedict ...

Exchangeable lead (Pb) in lowland paddy soils of Sri Lanka as affected by the differences in agro‐climatic zones, soil orders, and water sources

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 592-602, March 2026.
Lead (Pb) accumulation in the human body poses serious health risks. As rice is the staple food in Sri Lanka, with a high per capita intake (114 kg), there is a significant risk of Pb transfer through rice consumption. This study evaluated exchangeable Pb concentrations in soils and produced Pb distribution maps.
