Sustainable Processing of Floral Bio-Residues of Saffron ( L.) for Valuable Biorefinery Products.

Tepals constitute the most abundant bio-residues of saffron ( L.). As they are a natural source of polyphenols with antioxidant properties, they could be processed to generate valuable biorefinery products for applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries, becoming a new source of income while reducing bio-waste.

Metabarcoding of Soil Fungal Communities Associated with Alpine Field-Grown Saffron ( L.) Inoculated with AM Fungi.

Soil fungi strongly influence ecosystem structure and functioning, playing a key role in many ecological services as decomposers, plant mutualists and pathogens. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish mutualistic symbiotic associations with plant roots and act as biofertilizers by enhancing plant nutrients and water uptake. Information about the AMF association with L.

Ailanthone inhibition data on seed germination and seedling growth of L. and L.

Ailanthone is a quassinoid from (Mill.) Swingle with allelopathic properties that deserves interest for its potential use as a natural herbicide. Data about seed germination and root and hypocotyl length of two model species ( L.

Latitude and Altitude Influence Secondary Metabolite Production in Peripheral Alpine Populations of the Mediterranean Species Mill.

Mill. has a great economic importance in perfumery, cosmetics, food manufacturing, aromatherapy, and pharmaceutical industry. This species finds its phytosociological optimum in the sub-Mediterranean region.
