Seed fossil record of Solanaceae revisited
Abstract The fossil record for Solanaceae has a complex taxonomic history, with many species originally described in the family being subsequently shown to belong in other plant families. In this work, we present an in‐depth analysis of the nightshade seed fossil record, which corresponds to the largest amount of fossil material for the family.

Three novel phenolic compounds and one known benzoxanthenone are isolated from Tricholaena teneriffae. Compounds (1–3) demonstrate potent antioxidant activity, comparable to that of vitamin C, while compound (4) exhibits negligible activity. Docking studies are employed to validate the binding of the compounds to lipoxygenase‐3, providing evidence of ...

We experimentally introduced seeds of woody species into Mediterranean forest patches to test whether species’ absences reflected dispersal limitation or habitat unsuitability. Similar establishment rates showed that unoccupied patches are suitable for establishment but experience limited seed arrival, uncovering diversity deficits that can be restored
