Antidiabetic Potential of Five Flower Remedy: A Thai Traditional Remedy With α‐Amylase and α‐Glucosidase Inhibition, Synergistic Interactions, and Mechanistic Insights

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Five Flower Remedy (FFR), a Thai traditional medicine, has a history of use for various ailments. This study investigated its antidiabetic potential by examining its impact on key carbohydrate‐metabolizing enzymes, α‐amylase, and α‐glucosidase. We explored FFR’s inhibitory effects, synergistic interactions with the standard antidiabetic drug acarbose ...

Identification and expression analysis of Phosphate Transporter 1 (PHT1) genes in the highly phosphorus‐use‐efficient Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae)

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 5021-5038, December 2024.
Abstract Heavy and costly use of phosphorus (P) fertiliser is often needed to achieve high crop yields, but only a small amount of applied P fertiliser is available to most crop plants. Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae) is endemic to the P‐impoverished landscape of southwest Australia and has several P‐saving traits.
