Effect of Germination on the Nutrient Profile, Antioxidant Components, Antinutritional Constituents, and Functional Characteristics of Barnyard Millet (Echinochloa frumentacea)

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Germination is a simple and effective strategy to improve the nutritional and functional quality of millets. In this study, barnyard millet was germinated for 24, 48, and 72 h to evaluate its impact on nutrient composition, antioxidant properties, antinutritional factors, and functional characteristics.

Valorizing Underutilized Cereals and Legumes: Optimizing Functional Properties of Composite Flour and Nutritional Composition of Extruded Puffed Snack From Fonio and Winged Bean Flour Blends

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated quality attributes of fonio and winged bean composite flour and its extruded puffed snacks (EPSs). A simplex lattice mixture design was employed to obtain nine flour combinations. The functional properties of the composite flour were determined and thereafter it was processed into EPS using a twin‐screw extruder ...

The effect of light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on the soil seed bank diversity in temperate forests

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Light is a key driver of understory plant diversity, also important for seed germination, yet its effect on forests soil seed bank diversity remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of both light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on soil seed bank diversity.

Systems analysis of leaf anatomy and transcriptome using unsupervised machine learning provides insight on photosynthesis development and evolution in non‐model grasses

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The C4 photosynthesis includes intriguing leaf anatomies. The current model supports the placement of C3‐C4 intermediates as a middle point in the evolutionary trajectory from C3 to C4 photosynthesis. The known determinants involved in the differentiation of divergent photosynthetic leaves arose from the comparative analysis between both ends,

New Roots for Restoration: Building a foundation for interdisciplinary work in plant organismal biology and ecology to advance restoration in natural and agricultural ecosystems

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 580-591, March 2026.
Soils are globally degraded due in part to conventional agriculture and wildland conversion. To address the global challenge of soil degradation, we formed an interdisciplinary, cross‐institutional collaborative research team, New Roots for Restoration, to understand how perennial plant root and shoot traits relate to one another, and how they ...

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 486-498, March 2026.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.
