The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.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

Protective Potential of Vinpocetine on Acrylamide Induced Liver Toxicity in Male Albino Rats
Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.This study sought to assess the protective effects of vinpocetine, a synthetic analog of the natural alkaloid vincamine exhibiting strong antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties against ACR‐induced hepatic injury. Co‐administration of vinpocetine mitigated the ACR‐induced alterations and help in normalization of biochemical parameters, enhancing ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4823-4843, August 2026.ABSTRACT Theacrine (1,3,7,9‐tetramethyluric acid) is a purine alkaloid detected in multiple wild and specialised tea germplasms (Camellia sinensis) from South China, including Kucha. However, the molecular mechanisms governing its biosynthesis remain poorly understood. Here, we identify CsTcS2 as a novel theacrine synthase in tea plant.

Beet leafhopper transmits virescence of periwinkle
California Agriculture, 1977 Photo above shows healthy periwinkle on left and virescence-affected periwinkle on right; plant on right was exposed to beet leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus) that had previously fed on another virescence-affected periwinkle.

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 537-547, July 2026.Two microemulsion‐based drilling fluids incorporating SSRP were formulated using pine oil, the nonionic surfactant Alkonat L100W, and a glycerol/water solution. The results provide valuable insights into how surfactant‐assisted microemulsion systems can be engineered to enhance the performance and eco‐efficiency of drilling fluids.

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.Humboldtia sanjappae bark extract evaluated for its anti‐inflammatory potential using in vivo paw edema models and in silico molecular docking. Bioactive flavonoids, particularly neoeriocitrin, showed strong interactions with TNF‐α, COX‐2, IL‐6, and IL‐1β, highlighting the extract's multi‐target anti‐inflammatory activity and therapeutic promise ...
