From topology to biological meaning: why plant family classification matters beyond systematics
Conceptual framework for family‐level classification. Summary Plant family names are routinely used to structure comparative analyses, trait databases, floras, conservation assessments, and teaching. Yet, these names are not neutral labels: changing family boundaries changes the units across which biological patterns are compared, summarized, and ...

Oral Ulcerations and Phytotherapy: Potential Role of Helichrysum Essential Oil—A Literature Review
ABSTRACT Background Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common yet therapeutically challenging chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa, characterized by recurrent, painful ulcerations that substantially affect patients' quality of life. Objective This review summarizes current evidence on phytotherapy in RAS, with particular focus on the ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate variations in the essential oil composition of a wild Artemisia absinthium population from Hamadan, Iran, across three phenological stages (pre‐flowering, flowering, and post‐flowering) using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis.

ABSTRACT Phenolic and flavonoid contents in medicinal plants are essential to their growth and development and provide numerous health benefits, yet their quantification using traditional wet chemistry is labor‐intensive and time‐consuming. This study utilized the combination of two benchtop hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems, namely short‐wave ...

Can Repeated Reductive Genome Evolution Across Archaeplastida Explain Volatility in Traits?
Genome evolution in Archaeplastida is often framed around gene gains and increasing complexity. Yet ancestral reconstructions reveal recurrent genome contraction, with ancestors frequently harboring larger gene repertoires than descendants. Across red algae, land‐plant ancestry, and embryophyte diversification, repeated expansion and reduction cycles ...

Brain aging alters perineuronal nets and neuroinflammation. 4‐methylumbelliferone reversed these aging‐associated changes. 4‐methylumbelliferone reduced age‐associated cognitive decline. Six months of chronic oral treatment was well tolerated. ABSTRACT Aging‐associated cognitive decline is closely linked to dysregulated glial activity and chronic ...

In plants that offer pollen as their sole floral reward, this resource is finite and nonreplenishable, making such plants useful systems for studying how resource availability across flowers shapes pollinator behavior. Because tropical ecosystems of the Global South harbor exceptionally diverse plant–pollinator interactions, understanding pollinator ...
