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 ...

Glomalin production in Atlantic Forest: Effects of soil properties and plant families
Abstract Glomalin, a glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), contributes to soil aggregation, carbon sequestration, and nutrient cycling. We present the first comprehensive assessment of environmental factors associated with glomalin availability, measured as easily extractable (easily extractable glomalin‐related soil protein [EE ...

Quantifying the abundance of four large epiphytic fern species in remnant complex notophyll vine forest on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland, Australia [PDF]
Epiphytes are generally considered rare in complex forests on the western edge of the Atherton Tablelands, north Queensland. This assertion is based on comparisons with wetter forests in the Wet Tropics bioregion, but is of limited use in restoration ...

Lianas Suppress Seedling Growth and Survival of 14 Tree Species in a Panamanian Tropical Forest [PDF]
Lianas are a common plant growth form in tropical forests, where they compete intensely with trees, decreasing tree recruitment, growth, and survival. If the detrimental effects of lianas vary significantly with tree species identity, as is often assumed,

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Chemical Constituents from the Fruit of Melia azedarach and Their Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Phytochemical investigations of Melia azedarach fruits have led to the isolation of a novel tirucallane triterpenoid (1), four new limonoids (2–5), and four known limonoids (6–9).

Ethnobotanical survey of pesticidal plants used in South Uganda : case study of Masaka district [PDF]
Use of synthetic pesticides in developing countries is not only limited by their being expensive but also the small (uneconomic) fields whose limited production costs cannot offset costs of agricultural implements like agro-chemicals. Subsistence farmers,

Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks
Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.
