In Vitro Evaluation of the Inhibitory Effects of Linarin on Histamine‐Induced Expression of Proinflammatory Cytokines, Mucin 5AC, and Aquaporin 5 in Human Nasal and Bronchial Epithelial Cells

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis and asthma are two prevalent chronic allergic conditions in children. Linarin, a glycosylated flavonoid derived from various plants, exhibits a wide range of biological activities. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of linarin against allergic rhinitis and asthma.

Small collections, great findings: three new species and two new state records for Asteraceae from Brazil

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The BHZB herbarium was founded in 1993 with about 16 787 registers – a number that has to be considered as small when compared to larger herbaria in Brazil. In the BHZB, 97.5% of the vouchers are from the Minas Gerais state (ca 16 372 specimens), with Asteraceae being the best represented family.

A notable new narrow‐endemic species of Jurinea (Asteraceae) from the subalpine region of western Iran

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Extensive field studies in remote areas of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran, resulted in the identification of a novel Jurinea species (Asteraceae: subtribe Saussureinae). Jurinea kuhrangensis sp. nov., a chasmophytic species endemic to limestone outcrops in the subalpine region of Kuhrang County, is formally documented in this study ...

Community diversity shapes persisting soil legacy effects of individual plant species on subsequent plant performance

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Positive plant diversity–productivity relationships have partly been attributed to decreasing abundances of belowground specialist plant antagonists with increasing plant diversity, resulting in less negative plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) on establishing conspecific plant individuals.

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...
