The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.
This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Neuroprotective Effect of Sweet Potato Petiole and Leaf Dry‐Powder in a Gerbil Model of Transient Cerebral Ischaemia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Continuous intake of sweet potato petiole and leaf, rich in polyphenols, demonstrated the neuroprotective effects in a gerbil model of transient cerebral ischaemia. Pre‐ischaemic feeding of a diet containing sweet potato petiole and leaf tended to be more effective than post‐ischaemic feeding.

Two Newly Discovered Taxa From Alternaria Section Porri (Ascomycota, Pleosporaceae) Isolated From Tomatoes in the Baltic Region

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
A multilocus phylogeny and phenotypic assays were used to analyse large‐spored Alternaria spp. from the section Porri affecting tomatoes in the Baltic region. Two novel taxa were described as causal agents of early blight in tomatoes. ABSTRACT Early blight caused by large‐spored Alternaria spp.

Seed fossil record of Solanaceae revisited

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, February 2026.
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.

Transcriptome analysis explores genes related to shikonin biosynthesis in Lithospermeae plants and provides insights into Boraginales’ evolutionary history

Scientific Reports, 2017
Shikonin and its derivatives extracted from Lithospermeae plants’ red roots have current applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. Previous studies have cloned some genes related to shikonin biosynthesis. However, most genes related to shikonin

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

دراسة تصنيفية لرتبة الباذنجانيات Solanales في دلتا تبن، محافظة لحج، اليمن

University of Aden Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences, 2020
تناولت الدراسة رتبة الباذنجانيات تصنيفياً، في دلتا تبن، محافظة لحج، اليمن في المدة من ديسمبر 2017 إلى نهاية أغسطس 2019م، أسفرت الدراسة عن تسجيل 21 نوعاً نباتياً ضمن 10 أجناس تعود إلى 2 فصائل نباتية من رتبة الباذنجانيات. وأثبتت النتائج أن أكثر العائلات النباتية تنوعاً وتمثيلاً هي الباذنجانية Solanaceae (7 أجناس و12 نوعاً)، إذ شكلت ما نسبته 70% من مجموع ...
