Understanding plant chemicals is vital for medicine and agriculture, but global data remain fragmented and biased. We developed an AI‐powered tool to automatically extract plant‐compound information from scientific literature at scale and low cost. Our analysis revealed significant knowledge gaps, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. By efficiently

The "joy plant": a tough factoïd
The opium poppy is of interest to several disciplines (medical, anthropology, geopolitics, etc.) and more particularly its use in medicinal or ritual recipes, since the ancient period in the Near East and in the Mediterranean area.

Opium Cultivation Imperilling Endangered Species in Northern Laos
To avoid government eradication efforts, farmers in northeastern Laos shifted opium cultivation deep into a national park, causing a > 1000% increase in protected forest cleared for the crop between 2018 and 2022. This displacement directly threatened endangered species like white‐cheeked gibbons, elephants, and dholes by causing a rise in hunting ...

Three molecular profiles identified among Art v 1/Amb a 4‐sensitized patients: Art v 1 monosensitization, Amb a 4 monosensitization, and dual sensitization to both allergens. Art v 1 monosensitization was predominantly associated with allergic rhinitis, reflecting a classical airborne allergy pattern.

Opioid Modulation of Major Neurotransmitter Systems: Acute, Chronic, and Withdrawal Effects
Opioids are widely used but also frequently misused drugs that affect multiple neurotransmitter systems, including dopaminergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic, serotonergic, and cholinergic pathways. Opioid‐induced neuroadaptations depend on the duration of drug exposure, with distinct changes also emerging following drug discontinuation.

ABSTRACT YABBY transcription factors are plant‐specific regulators of lateral organ development, yet their functions in legume flower morphogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we identified seven YABBY genes in the Medicago truncatula genome and assigned them to five conserved subfamilies.

Biosynthesis and regulatory mechanisms of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in medicinal plants
Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) derived from Coptis species, opium poppy, and California poppy have been demonstrated to cure various diseases. Historically, Coptis species, opium poppy, and California poppy have served as models for the study of ...

Abstract Camptothecin (CPT), a plant‐derived monoterpene indole alkaloid first identified in Camptotheca acuminata, is a drug precursor widely used for cancer chemotherapeutics. However, the full set of genes responsible for CPT biosynthesis remains unclear, hindering efforts to elucidate the complete pathway or establish biosynthetic production of CPT
