Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 694-718, March 2026.Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1124-1144, February 2026.Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

Enzymology of indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus.
Indian journal of biochemistry & biophysics, 1997 Indole alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus have been in focus because of their medicinal value. These alkaloids consist of an indole moiety provided by tryptamine and a terpenoid portion provided by the secologanin. The most important catharanthus alkaloids are vinblastine (VLB), vincristine (VCR) and ajmalicine.

Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don - plant regeneration and alkaloids content
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 We describe here a regeneration of plantlets of <i>Catharanthus roseus</i> (L.) G. Don from shoot tips and axillary buds. Shoot tips were excised from 7-day-old seedlings and were incubated in solid Nitsch and Nitsch (NN) medium supplemented with kinetin, benzyladenine (BA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and β-indolylacetic acid (IAA) in ...
