Structural Elucidation and Engineering of the (S)‐scoulerine 2‐O‐Methyltransferase Enabling Regioselective Epiberberine Biosynthesis in Coptis chinensis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protoberberine alkaloids are a characteristic group of natural products in Coptis plants known for their notable pharmacological activities. However, the structural similarity and the substrate promiscuity of their biosynthetic enzymes have left the precise synthetic pathways remain unclarified, posing challenges to regulate product formation.

The pollination ecology and mouthpart morphology of a pollen‐feeding fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Diptera: Lauxaniidae) in the Australian Alpine

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Plant–Soil–Enzyme Interactions in Intertidal Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reveals that during the exposure period in the Shengjin Lake intertidal wetland, the temporal gradient serves as the primary driving force for changes in the plant–soil–enzyme system, followed by alkaline phosphatase activity, nitrate nitrogen, and pH.

Resolving the Taxonomic Enigma of Adonis in Eastern North China: An Integrated Phylogenomic Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that Adonis species from Hebei Province, China are distinct species from A. ramosa, supported by robust phylogenomic analyses (plastid genome data and single copy nuclear genes) and morphological evidence. We reveal a complicated evolutionary history of Adonis species in China. The confirmation of Adonis

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.
