Homoisoflavonoids—From Natural Specificity and Biosynthesis to Precision Health‐Promoting Mechanisms
Homoisoflavonoids are rare flavonoids with a unique bi‐aromatic oxygen‐heterocyclic structure. This review synthesizes their structure–activity relationships in anti‐inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and anticancer contexts. By highlighting their specific natural distribution and outlining biosynthetic pathways, it provides a conceptual framework and ...

Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...
