Background: The use of herbal medicines by pregnant women is on the rise. However, there is limited information regarding the safety of these compounds during pregnancy. Therefore, the goal of this study was to explore the consequences of raspberry leaf use during gestation in Wistar rats.
Methods: Female rats were randomly assigned to receive vehicle, raspberry leaf, or specific flavonoids in raspberry leaf (kaempferol or quercetin; 10 mg/kg per day) orally once breeding had been confirmed until parturition. We assessed pregnancy outcomes in the P generation and reproductive development/fertility in the F1 raspberry leaf-exposed female offspring.
Results: Raspberry leaf use during pregnancy was associated with increased gestation length and accelerated reproductive development in the F1 offspring.
Conclusions: Results from this study have shown for the first time that raspberry leaf use during pregnancy can have long-term consequences for the health of the offspring and raise concerns about the safety of this herbal preparation for use during pregnancy.

To meet the need of crop leaf disease detection in complex scenarios, this study designs a method based on the computing power of mobile devices that ensures both detection accuracy and real-time efficiency, offering significant practical application value. Based on a comparison with existing mainstream detection models, this paper proposes a target detection and recognition algorithm, TG_YOLOv5, which utilizes multi-dimensional data fusion on the YOLOv5 model. The triplet attention mechanism and C3CBAM module are incorporated into the network structure to capture connections between spatial and channel dimensions of input feature maps, thereby enhancing the model's feature extraction capabilities without significantly increasing the parameter count.

Raspberry ( L.) is susceptible to aphid-borne viruses. We studied the incidence of four of them - black raspberry necrosis virus (BRNV), raspberry leaf mottle virus (RLMV), raspberry vein chlorosis virus (RVCV), and Rubus yellow net virus (RYNV) - in raspberry plants and aphids in and around Norwegian raspberry crops for three years (2019, 2021, and 2022).

Article Synopsis
- - Terpenoids, including rubusoside, are key compounds found in the leaves of Chinese Sweet Tea, but the specific pathways for their production and accumulation are not well understood.
- - Researchers used metabolomics and transcriptomics to study differences in terpenoid levels between sweet and bitter leaves, discovering that steviol glycosides accumulate in sweet leaves while goshonosides are found in bitter leaves.
- - They identified three pairs of glycosyltransferase genes related to rubusoside biosynthesis, suggesting that transcriptional regulation is crucial for the accumulation of rubusoside in sweet leaves.

Cloudberry (.) is a plant rich in various biologically active compounds. In this work, the composition and concentrations of pentacyclic triterpenoids (PCTs) and phytosterols in various parts of cloudberries were studied using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry by multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM, targeted analysis) and precursor ion scan mode (non-targeted analysis and semi-quantitative determination).
