Integrated Profiling of Fatty Acids, Sterols and Phenolic Compounds in Tree and Herbaceous Peony Seed Oils: Marker Screening for New Resources of Vegetable Oil

Foods, 2020
Tree peonies (Paeonia ostii and Paeonia rockii) are popular ornamental plants. Moreover, these plants have become oil crops in recent years. However, there are limited compositional studies focused on fatty acids.

Paeonia (Paeoniaceae) in the Caucasus [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003
The taxonomy of the genus Paeonia in the Caucasus has been controversial, with recognized species varying in number from one to 13. The taxonomic history of Paeonia in this area is reviewed (including an analysis of the characters used by previous authors) based on extensive field observations, population sampling and critical examination of a large ...

Species Turnover and Environmental Filtering Structure Plant Communities in Moist Temperate Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Plant biodiversity in moist temperate mountain forests is strongly structured by elevational and edaphic gradients that drive community differentiation over short spatial scales. Using integrated vegetation classification, diversity partitioning, and multivariate analyses, we show that species turnover, rather than nestedness, dominates beta diversity,

Moutan Cortex Extract Mediates Diabetic Retinopathy by Blocking the ROS‑Triggered HIF‐1α/VEGF Axis in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Schematic diagram of the mechanism by which Moutan Cortex extract (MCE) ameliorates DR. MCE alleviates retinal structural damage and reduces neovascular lesions by downregulating the ROS/HIF‐1α/VEGF signaling axis. ABSTRACT Moutan Cortex is a functional food ingredient with multiple health benefits, but its effects on diabetic retinopathy (DR) remain ...

Comparative and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Three Paeonia Section Moutan Species (Paeoniaceae)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Analysis of the relationships among wild species of section Moutan in the plant genus Paeonia has traditionally been problematic. Interspecies relationships cannot be effectively determined using phenotypic traits alone or through analysis of nuclear or ...

Climatic Refugia and Geographical Isolation Contribute to the Speciation and Genetic Divergence in Himalayan-Hengduan Tree Peonies (Paeonia delavayi and Paeonia ludlowii)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Himalaya and Hengduan Mountains (HHM) is a biodiversity hotspot, and very rich in endemic species. Previous phylogeographical studies proposed different hypotheses (vicariance and climate-driven speciation) in explaining diversification and the observed ...

Paeonol as a Multi‐Target Therapy for Neurological Disorders: Mechanistic Insights Into Neuroprotection

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Paeonol (PNL) exhibits neuroprotective effects by reducing oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis. It enhances antioxidant defenses (SOD and GSH), inhibits pro‐inflammatory pathways (NF‐κB and TLR4), and modulates apoptotic proteins (Bcl‐2 and Bax).
