The role of microalgae in providing essential minerals for sustainable swine nutrition by José A. M. Prates, José A. M. Prates

“…Environmentally, microalgae offer notable benefits by requiring less land and water compared to conventional crops, effectively sequestering carbon and providing bioremediation capabilities, thereby reducing the ecological impact of livestock production. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in optimizing mineral bioavailability due to the resilient cell walls of certain species, which may require mechanical or enzymatic pre-treatments to enhance nutrient absorption. …”

Phytogeographic Transition Areas Hide Floristic Diversity in Hyper-Arid Environments (Sharaan Natural Reserve, NW-Saudi Arabia) by Mohamed Djamel Miara, Sami Youssef, Yassine Fendane, Louise Marris, Robin Sallio, Hassan Boukcim, Sami D. Almalki, Shauna K. Rees, Benjamin P. Y.-H. Lee, Abdalsamad Aldabaa, Ahmed H. Mohamed

“…Phytogeographic transition zones are often considered areas rich in biodiversity due to their ecological and landscape diversity. This study constitutes the first floristic investigation of the Sharaan Natural Reserve (SNR) located in the northwest of the KSA, which is supposed to be a phytogeographic transition zone due to its location between the central zone of the country dominated by Saharo-Arabic flora and the northern zone characterized by a Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian floristic affinities. …”

Rapid diversification of St-genome-sharing species in wheat grasses (Triticeae: Poaceae) accompanied by diversifying selection of chloroplast genes by Li-Na Sha, Ning Chen, Shi-Yong Chen, Yue Zhang, Yi-Ran Cheng, Dan-Dan Wu, Yi Wang, Hou-Yang Kang, Hai-Qin Zhang, Xiao Ma, Yong-Hong Zhou, Xing Fan

“…Abstract Background The St-genome-sharing taxa are highly complex group of the species with the St nuclear genome and monophyletic origin in maternal lineages within the Triticeae, which contains more than half of polyploid species that distributed in a wide range of ecological habitats. While high level of genetic heterogeneity in plastome DNA due to a reticulate evolutionary event has been considered to link with the richness of the St-genome-sharing taxa, the relationship between the dynamics of diversification and molecular evolution is lack of understanding. …”
