Measurement of Ungulate Palatability and Browsing Pressure on Japanese Flora

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Estimation of palatability and browsing pressure are key techniques for ecosystem management. We compared four methods to estimate palatability based on browsing scar survey and proposed the reference palatability values for the Japanese flora as plant ecological trait.

The association of Mediterranean plant species with herbivorous arthropods and its effect on pest abundance in organic vineyards

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 369-385, January 2026.
We determined the associations of native Mediterranean plant species located around organic vineyards with species of Auchenorrhyncha and phytophagous tetranychid and tenuipalpid mites, including important vineyard pests: Jacobiasca lybica and Tetranychus urticae.

The Role of Participatory Forest Management on Forest Composition, Diversity, and Regeneration: A Study of Guangua Elala Forest, Northwestern Ethiopia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Participatory forest management (PFM) is increasingly recognized as an effective approach for forest conservation and sustainable resource use in Ethiopia, yet empirical evidence of its ecological outcomes remains limited. This study assessed the effects of PFM on forest composition, diversity, and regeneration in the Guangua Elala Forest, Northwestern

Deconstruction of the (paleo)polyploid grapevine genome based on the analysis of transposition events involving NBS resistance genes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Plants have followed a reticulate type of evolution and taxa have frequently merged via allopolyploidization. A polyploid structure of sequenced genomes has often been proposed, but the chromosomes belonging to putative component genomes are difficult to

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.
