PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

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.

The Role of Polyphenols in Respiratory and Gut Health: From the Perspective of Gut‐Lung Axis
Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gut‐lung axis constitutes a dynamic, multidirectional communication platform between the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Its complexity arises from the integrated crosstalk among the microbiota, immune system, and redox homeostasis, collectively influencing disease susceptibility and progression.
