Synteny Among Solanaceae Genomes

, 2016
The Solanaceae was among the first plant families to be analyzed via comparative mapping and thus was a pioneer in the realm of synteny studies. Analyses of chromosome content and organization have employed a range of techniques, including linkage mapping of genes and molecular markers, physical mapping via fluorescence in situ hybridization, and ...

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3032-3047, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

WUSCHEL Transcription Factor: From Stem Cell Maintenance to Crop Improvement

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
This review synthesizes emerging insights into WUSCHEL (WUS) as a central regulator of plant stem cell fate beyond Arabidopsis, highlighting its roles in regeneration, somatic embryogenesis (SE), and stress adaptation across crops. It explores how WUS‐centered regulatory networks, genome editing, and AI‐guided strategies can be leveraged for precise ...

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic

A pooled‐sample draft genome assembly provides insights into host plant‐specific transcriptional responses of a Solanaceae‐specializing pest, Tupiocoris notatus (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Ecology and Evolution
The assembly of genomes from pooled samples of genetically heterogenous samples of conspecifics remains challenging. In this study, we show that high‐quality genome assemblies can be produced from samples of multiple wild‐caught individuals. We sequenced

Screening the Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Activity, and Toxicity of Ten Species of Non‐Conventional Food Plants From Southern Brazil

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study found that the ten unconventional food plants from southern Brazil studied exhibited high antioxidant activity, a diversity of phenolic compounds, and no toxicity in vivo. These data demonstrate that these plants have promising benefits for human health and may be a potential protective agent against oxidative damage.

The Bufei Nashen Pill Alleviates COPD by Targeting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Through the PERK/eIF2α Signaling Pathway

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Evidence supporting the therapeutic efficacy of Bufei Nashen pill (BFNSP) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently limited. We evaluated BFNSP's effects on COPD progression and elucidated its potential mechanisms through LC/MS analysis of its active components.

Ultrasonic‐assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) calyx and evaluation of extract properties

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 131-139, April 2026.
Abstract Background Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is widely consumed worldwide and generates considerable waste, including peel and calyx, during processing and consumption. Although often considered as by‐products, these wastes are rich sources of bioactive compounds, which vary depending on the plant variety and cultivation location.
