ABSTRACT Although Peucedanum japonicum Thunb (PJT) has been used in traditional medicine, PJT root is considered to be agricultural waste, and its benefits have not been explored to date. This study examined the effect of PJT root extract in C57BL/6J mice fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks and determined the underlying molecular mechanisms based on

Morin hydrate promoted mortality and reduced the rate of pupation and egg laying in Aedes aegypti larvae that survive treatment. Morin hydrate reduces the levels of triacylglycerol, the main lipid reserve in A. aegypti larvae. The expression of proteins involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis was downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in larvae ...

Summary OSW‐1 is a cholestane saponin uniquely produced in Ornithogalum saundersiae and exhibits a potential antitumor activity. The enzymes responsible for OSW‐1 biosynthesis in O. saundersiae, however, remain unclear. Herein, cholesterol was confirmed to be the precursor of OSW‐1 using stable‐isotope labeling method.

A near‐gapless genome assembly of Pseudocydonia sinensis uncovers unique phenylpropanoid pathways
Summary Pseudocydonia sinensis, commonly known as Chinese quince, belongs to the Rosaceae family and is closely related to apple and pear. Despite its botanical significance, genomic resources for this species remain limited. We present a high‐quality, chromosome‐scale, and haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of P.
