Bazi Bushen Capsule restores fertility by targeting mitochondrial health in aging endometrium

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Bazi Bushen Capsule (BZBS) mitigates age‐related endometrial dysfunction by activating AMPK − SIRT3 signaling. Luteolin, a key bioactive component, restores mitochondrial homeostasis via PINK1/Parkin−mediated mitophagy and Drp1 inhibition, improving endometrial function and fertility potential.

Large-scale gene losses underlie the genome evolution of parasitic plant Cuscuta australis

Nature Communications, 2018
Dodders (Cuscuta spp., Convolvulaceae) are root- and leafless parasitic plants. Here, the authors sequence the genome of Cuscuta australis and find remarkable gene loss associated with parasitic lifestyle and large changes in body plan.

Botanical inventory of the early book herbaria of Leonhard Rauwolf from southern France and northern Italy (1560–1563)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Sixteenth‐century herbaria are the oldest plant collections that survive today and, as such, they provide valuable insights in past floras and historical botanical interactions. One of the most fascinating still extant 16th‐century herbaria is the four‐volume collection of the German physician, botanist and traveler Leonhard Rauwolf (1535 ...

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2577-2607, August 2026.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...
