In Vitro Antidiabetic Evaluation and Phytochemical Characterization of Sapindus mukorossi Fruit Pericarp Extract

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Sapindus mukorossi fruit pericarp is a promising source of polar polyphenols and amphiphilic saponins, with the 70% ethanol extract showing the richest phytochemical profile and strongest α‐amylase inhibition. Its solvent‐dependent bioactive composition suggests potential application in managing postprandial hyperglycemia by modulating dietary starch ...

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring.

Natural selection and maladaptive plasticity in the red-shouldered soapberry bug [PDF]

The American Naturalist, 2016
Abstract Natural selection and phenotypic plasticity can both produce locally differentiated phenotypes, but novel environments or gene combinations can produce plasticity that works in opposition to adaptive change.

Meyna grisea (King & Gamble) Robyns and Meyna peltata Robyns (Rubiaceae: Vanguerieae) – a new record of two ethnobotanically significant fruit trees from Manipur, India

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Meyna grisea and M. peltata, two new records from Imphal Valley, Manipur, India, characterised by a capitate stigma with 4–5 divergent, spreading lobes on a globose base, and a prominent peltate stigma, respectively, are described and illustrated here. Photographs, key to the species, along with their coordinates and diagnostic characters in comparison

Compositional analysis and characterization of black huckleberry and soapberry: Two culturally significant berries for Indigenous communities of the Pacific Northwest

Food Chemistry: X
This study addresses the need to generate data on the attributes of black huckleberries and soapberries growing in the traditional territory of the Syilx/Okanagan Nation. Black huckleberry were larger, with lower pH, soluble solids and titratable acidity

Evaluation of soapberry (Sapindus saponaria L.) leaf extract against papaya anthracnose

, 2018
Chemical fungicides provide the primary means to control fungal infection in fruits and vegetables in the postharvest. Exploitation of natural products to control decay and prolong the storage life of perishables has received more attention.

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

Molecular Mechanisms of Oil and Saponin Accumulation and the Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism in Sapindus mukorossi Fruit

Plants
Sapindus mukorossi, known as soapberry, is a multipurpose woody species with oil-rich kernels and saponin-rich pulp, and its kernel oil and pulp saponins have important applications in oleochemicals, detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and bioenergy.
