Acta virologica, 2023 High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of samples from Mallotus japonicus, a traditional medicinal plant, yielded two novel RNA viruses tentatively named Mallotus japonicus virus A (MjVA) and Mallotus japonicus virus B (MjVB). The MjVA and MjVB genomes encode proteins showing amino acid sequence similarities to those of poleroviruses (the ...

Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy
Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 4759-4791, August 2026.Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.The glandular hairs in the floral tube of Paederia foetida has an effect on an ant's ability to enter a flower. Our results showed that trimming the glandular hairs increased the success rate of ants entering the floral tube. Abstract Hairs that grow on plant organs have been shown to play a variety of roles. Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) is a perennial

Studies on cytotoxic constituents in pericarps of Mallotus japonicus. IV.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1990 Two new phloroglucinol derivatives, isomallotolerin (1) and isomallotochromanol (2), were isolated from the cytotoxic fraction of the pericarps of Mallotus japonicus. The new derivatives were identified as 3-(3-methyl-2-hydroxybut-3-enyl)-5-(3-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxy-5-methy l-6- methoxybenzyl)-phlorisobutyrophenone (1) and 6-acetyl-5,7-dihydroxy-8-(3 ...

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2075-2083, June 2025.Summary Silicon (Si) has been hypothesized to be a metabolically cheaper substitute for carbon‐based cell wall components to support leaves. However, how the biomechanical function of Si, deposited as amorphous silica, differs from cell wall components remains untested. Here, we tested the hypothesis that species with higher leaf Si concentrations have

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan
Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 162-179, April 2025.The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

Tocopherol(Toc) and sterol composition and concentration in Mallotus japonicus seeds.
Journal of the agricultural chemical society of Japan, 1988 Mallotus japonicus seeds were separated to cotyledons and seed coat. The lipid content in the whole seed was 45.2%; the cotyledon lipid content was higher than the seed coat content. The main components of seed Toc were α-, γ- and δ-Toc. δ-Toc was found at a higher level in the seed -coat than in the cotyledon.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 209-225, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mycoheterotrophs are non‐photosynthetic plants that obtain all of their carbon requirements through parasitizing mycorrhizal fungi. They originated from the autotrophic ancestors and usually have more specific relationships with fungi than that of green plants, for ...
