Accelerating the prioritisation of plant species with underexplored medicinal potential: The pm4mp (Phylogenetic Methods for Medicinal Plants) R package

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Medicinal plants used in ethnobotanical traditions to treat or prevent diseases have gained renewed interest for their largely untapped potential in drug discovery. In this study, we developed and tested novel methods to prioritise plant species based on their unexplored medicinal potential. By enabling researchers to target the most promising species,

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Seed handling of specific forest tree species : Recalcitrant and intermediate seed

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract Indonesia is a tropical country with an area of rain forests around 128 million ha. Forests have economic, social and environmental functions, therefore those functions must be sustained. Seeds are a very important part for maintaining the sustainability of forest functions, by providing good quality of seeds and seedlings ...

Safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and mechanisms of novel 10B‐boronophenylalanine combined with a radio‐frequency quadrupole accelerator in boron neutron capture therapy: A preclinical study in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the novel 10B‐BPA‐based BNCT system, combined with an RFQ accelerator, effectively targets head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It induces tumor regression safely and efficiently by triggering DNA damage and activating the ROS/HIF‐1α/NF‐κB pathway, leading to caspase‐3‐mediated apoptosis.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Responses to Drying of Recalcitrant Seeds ofQuercus nigraL. [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 1996
Abstract It has been suggested that rate of desiccation can influence the expression of recalcitrant behaviour in seeds, thus complicating the task of determining which seeds are truly recalcitrant. The objective of this study was to see if variable rates of desiccation influenced such behaviour inQuercus nigraL., a tree seed known to be recalcitrant.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Recalcitrant Seeds: A Review of Research on the Key Factors Affecting and some Important Management Strategies for Extending Longevity during Storage [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry
Recalcitrant seeds are susceptible to low temperatures and desiccation, which constitutes a significant problem for seed storage compared to orthodox seeds.
