A survey of wild plant species for food use in Sicily (Italy) – results of a 3-year study in four Regional Parks
Mario Licata,Teresa Tuttolomondo,Claudio Leto,Giuseppe Virga,Giuseppe Bonsangue,Ignazio Cammalleri,Maria Cristina Gennaro,Salvatore La Bella +7 more
TL;DR: The research shows that the level of traditional knowledge on the food use of wild plant species in the study area is poor and the food uses of plants which are most likely to survive over time are those at the interface of food and medicine.
Effects of plant species in a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland – phytoremediation of treated urban wastewater with Cyperus alternifolius L. and Typha latifolia L. in the West of Sicily (Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper, two emergent macrophytes (Cyperus alternifolius L. and Typha latifolia L. ) were compared in a pilot horizontal subsurface flow system for the phytoremediation of treated urban wastewater in the West of Sicily (Italy).

An agronomic evaluation of new safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) germplasm for seed and oil yields under Mediterraean climate conditions
Salvatore La Bella,Teresa Tuttolomondo,Luca Lazzeri,Roberto Matteo,Claudio Leto,Mario Licata +5 more
TL;DR: Positive and significant relationships between seed/oil yield and other tested traits were found, and the interest of safflower for both food and non-food applications, offering interesting prospects in semi-arid regions is confirmed.
