Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Rapeseed is the second most cultivated oilseed globally after soybean and a protein‐rich press cake is generated after liberation of the oil. However, its use in food applications is limited by high levels of anti‐nutrients such as glucosinolates and phytic acid. Although differences between botanical varieties are known, controlled

Abstract BACKGROUND Assessing crop's responses to elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) is crucial for global food security. This study examines the impact of eCO2 (700 μmol mol−1) on the cultivars of lentil (Lens culinaris), local Pardina Verde Rayada lentil (PVRL), and commercial Pardina lentil (PL) in terms of the productivity and nutritional composition ...

ABSTRACT In recent years, biochar has been studied for its range of applications. Recognized by the IPCC as a key Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategy, it also stands out as an important tool for reclaiming degraded lands, including vast global areas affected by salinity, such as those in China, India, and Australia.
