Correction to: resistance of Pinus pinea to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus explaine...

The corresponding author name has been incorrectly swapped in the original publication. The complete correct name should read as follows. Marta Nunes da Silva In addition, the funding information has been revised. The complete correct funding information is given below. The study was performed within the ‘Characterization of the pinewood nematode/Pinus system: a phytochemical and histopatho-logical approach’ pr...

Resistance of Pinus pinea to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus explained by the dynami...

Knowledge on hormonal and genetic mechanisms of pine trees in response to the pinewood nematode (PWN; Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is limited. To describe tree defence strategies against B. xylophilus, this study used the plant stress hormone methyl jasmonate (MJ) on four pine species with different susceptibility (Pinus pinaster < P. radiata ≈ P. sylvestris < P. pinea). Three-year-old trees were sprayed with MJ...

The impact of climate change-induced abiotic stresses on the nutritional qualit...

Legumes are integral to agricultural sustainability, offering multifaceted benefits ranging from enhanced yields to companion crops and improved soil health. Despite their recognized advantages, challenges such as technological lock-ins, limited breeding resources, and adverse environmental conditions pose threats to their cultivation. In this review, the complex interaction between climate change stressors, sp...

Lentil-based muffin in vitro digestion: unraveling nutritional insights

Predicting iron deficiency and oxidative stress in glycine max through Fourier ...

Aims: The excessive use of fertilizers is a problem in current agricultural systems, and sustainable farming practices, including precision agriculture, demand the use of new technologies to manage plant stress at an early stage. To sustainably manage iron (Fe) fertilization in agricultural fields, it is urgent to develop early detection methods for Fe deficiency, and linked oxidative stress, in plant leaves. H...

Nutritional value and environmental footprint of muffins made with green-lentil...

The growing interest in environmentally friendly and protein-rich food choices has prompted the food industry to explore alternative protein sources. Lentils have garnered attention due to their versatile culinary applications and the range of health benefits associated with their nutritional composition. Furthermore, lentils offer an environmentally sustainable solution as they require fewer resources than ani...

Challenges in pea breeding for tolerance to drought: status and prospects

Drought is increasingly frequent in the context of climate change and is considered a major constraint for crop yield. Water scarcity can impair growth, disturb plant water relations, and reduce water use efficiency. Pea (Pisum sativum) is a temperate grain legume rich in protein, fiber, micronutrients, and bioactive compounds that can benefit human health. In reducing pea yield due to drought, the intensity an...

Nutritional and sensorial analysis of a lentil flour-based sweet pancake premix

Background: Legume flours have been a target for ingredient innovation in the last decade. Legume grains have high protein and fibre content and are gluten-free, making them suitable for different consumer types, including celiac. Additionally, legume grain cultivation reduces synthetic fertiliser application, providing environmental benefits and improving ecosystem functions.Methods: In this study, a commercia...
