Phylogenetic history shapes the composition of floral scents in a specialized pollination mutualism

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3428-3443, June 2026.
Summary Most studies of the chemical ecology of plant–pollinator interactions emphasize the role of pollinator‐mediated selection in shaping floral scent composition. Nevertheless, phylogeny may constrain the metabolic pathways underlying these profiles, thereby influencing the evolutionary trajectory of the emitted signals.

Artesunate Induces G0/G1 Phase Arrest in Tumor Cells and Associates With Cyclin‐Dependent Kinase 4 (CDK4)

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer‐related death worldwide. Cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) is a well‐validated oncogenic driver in NSCLC, yet current CDK4 inhibitors—predominantly based on the aminopyrimidine scaffold—are limited by structural homogeneity and the rapid emergence of acquired ...

Chloroplast Phylogenomics and Barcode Discovery in Medicinal Stachys Species Reveal Evolutionary Relationships and Adaptive Signatures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study presents the first complete chloroplast genomes of two medicinally important Stachys species, S. persica and S. germanica. Comparative phylogenomic analyses revealed highly conserved genomes with lineage‐specific variations, identified hypervariable regions as candidate DNA barcodes, and detected signatures of positive selection in the petB ...

Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

Preparation and Characterization of Emulsion‐Based Fucoidan‐Whey Protein Film Activated With Geranium Essential Oil for Food Applications

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
The geranium essential oil (EO) nanoemulsion was incorporated into fucoidan‐whey protein film. Active fucoidan‐whey protein film showed higher mechanical, antioxidant, and water barrier properties. Fucoidan‐whey protein film loaded with geranium EO nanoemulsion exhibited antimicrobial and antifungal activities.

Unlocking the Hepatoprotective Potential of Cyperus rotundus Through Edible Vinegar Processing: A Study on Functional Ingredient Enhancement

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Cyperus rotundus L. (CR) and vinegar‐processed CR (VCR) were compared in mouse models of thioacetamide (TAA)‐induced acute and chronic liver injury. VCR exhibited better hepatoprotective effects than raw CR. Composition analysis revealed 35 components in VCR, among which α‐cyperone was present at higher levels than in raw CR.

Species identity and spatial scale drive context‑dependent tree diversity effects in a Finnish forest experiment

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.
