The Regulatory Mechanism of Smilax China L. Saponins against Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Is Revealed by Metabolomics and Transcriptomics.

open access: yesJournal of Oleo Science
This study was to investigate the effects of Smilax China L. saponins (SCS) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Rats were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks to induce NAFLD, followed by SCS treatment for 8 weeks.

Fruit Traits Reflect Adaptation to Dispersers Along a Tropical Elevational Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study investigates how fruit traits related to frugivore dispersal—specifically diameter, colour and presentation—vary along an elevation gradient in Papua New Guinea. Results showed that fruit diameter decreases with elevation, bird‐attracting colours are more common at higher elevations, and branch‐borne (ramiflorous) fruits increase with ...

Distinguishing Smilax glabra and Smilax china rhizomes by flow-injection mass spectrometry combined with principal component analysis

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica, 2018
Flow-injection mass spectrometry (FIMS) coupled with a chemometric method is proposed in this study to profile and distinguish between rhizomes of Smilax glabra (S. glabra) and Smilax china (S. china). The proposed method employed an electrospray-time-of-

Comparative genome analysis and phylogenetic relationship of order Liliales insight from the complete plastid genome sequences of two Lilies (Lilium longiflorum and Alstroemeria aurea). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Monocots are one of the most diverse, successful and economically important clades of angiosperms. We attempt to analyse the complete plastid genome sequences of two lilies and their lengths were 152,793bp in Lilium longiflorum (Liliaceae) and 155,510bp ...

Estudos sobre superação de dormência em sementes de Smilax japecanga Grisebach Studies of Smilax japecanga Grisebach seed dormancy breakage

open access: yesCiência e Agrotecnologia, 2003
A propagação sexuada de Smilax japecanga Grisebach é limitada em razão da dormência de suas sementes, as quais levam de 6 a 8 meses para germinar, dificultando, assim, a obtenção de mudas.
