Organic solvent extractions of green-colored fossil Celtis sp. and Ulmus sp. leaves (36 to 25 x 10(6) years old) indicate the preservation of quercetin-3-O-glycosides, apigenin and luteolin carbon glycosides, methyl pheophorbide a, and a consortium of other organic constituents. Comparisons between referable fossil and extant taxa indicate a high level of phytochemical fidelity. The preservation of O-glycosides indicates a mild postdepositional environment during fossilization.

Elm () species are important components of forest resources with significant ecological and economic value. As tall hardwood trees that are drought-resistant, poor-soil-tolerant, and highly adaptable, species are an excellent choice for ecologically protected forests and urban landscaping. Additionally, the bioactive substances identified in the fruits, leaves, bark, and roots of have potential applications in the food and medical fields and as raw materials in industrial and cosmetic applications.

This review investigates the therapeutic effects of Ulmus species extracts, traditionally used as tea ingredients in East Asia, on bone health and inflammatory conditions. Through the analysis of 9757 studies, narrowing down to 56 pertinent ones, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of Ulmus extracts. The focus was on catechin glycosides (CG) and flavonoid glycosides (FG), key compounds identified for their potential benefits.

Article Synopsis
- Aging causes tissue and cellular changes, mainly due to oxidative stress and inflammation, which lead to diseases related to aging.
- The study investigates the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of Korean Hance, a traditional herb, to combat muscle loss and atrophy through various tests and analyses.
- Results show that the extract supports muscle gene expression, reduces inflammation, and enhances antioxidant levels, suggesting its potential for developing new treatments for muscle atrophy.

Background: Plants can retain atmospheric particulate matter (PM) through their unique foliar microstructures, which has a profound impact on the phyllosphere microbial communities. Yet, the underlying mechanisms linking atmospheric particulate matter (PM) retention by foliar microstructures to variations in the phyllosphere microbial communities remain a mystery. In this study, we conducted a field experiment with ten Ulmus lines.

Disentangling how climate oscillations and geographical events significantly influence plants' genetic architecture and demographic history is a central topic in phytogeography. The deciduous ancient tree species is primarily distributed throughout Northern China and has timber and horticultural value. In the current study, we studied the phylogenic architecture and demographical history of using chloroplast DNA with ecological niche modeling.
