Background: L. subsp. is a perennial, aromatic plant used in traditional folk medicine and cuisine of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. However, scholars have not fully studied the pharmacological potential of the herb, and the scientific data on this plant species are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) obtained from the aerial parts of subsp. growing wild in Bulgaria and to perform histochemical analysis.
Methods: A microscopic histochemical analysis and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry were performed.
Results: The histochemical analysis confirmed the presence of terpenes in the stem and leaf of subsp. . The phenylpropanoid methyleugenol was identified as the main compound in the EO, representing 48.13% of the total oil composition. There were also found considerable amounts of monoterpene hydrocarbons, representing 41.68% of the total EO. Alpha-phellandrene, -cymene, and β-phellandrene were the most abundant monoterpene hydrocarbons.
Conclusion: This is the first histochemical analysis performed on subsp. . This is the first report of the EO composition from Bulgarian subsp. , and our results indicate some future possibilities for evaluating of the biological activity of the EO of subsp. and highlight the potential future use of the EO of this plant species. L. subsp. EO possesses a good potential for use as a biopesticide and repellent an environmentally friendly alternative of synthetic pesticides.

Beyond structural support, plant root systems play crucial roles in the absorption of water and nutrients, fertiliser efficiency and crop yield. However, the molecular mechanism regulating root architecture in rice remains largely unknown. In this study, a short-root rice mutant was identified and named Oscyp22.

To evaluate the drug release, cytocompatibility with periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), and therapeutic efficacy of GelMA hydrogel loaded with resolvin D1 (RvD1) in treating rat periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone damage. An RvD1 complexed with GelMA was prepared, and its release kinetics and compatibility with PDLCs were assessed. Rats with induced periodontitis were treated weekly with topical applications of vehicle, GelMA, RvD1, or RvD1 complexed with GelMA for four weeks.

Celery () can be considered as a model plant for studying pectin-enriched primary cell walls. In addition to parenchyma cells with xyloglucan-deficient walls, celery petioles contain collenchyma, a mechanical tissue with thickened cell walls of similar composition. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of these tissues at both early and late developmental stages, integrating data on polysaccharide yield, composition, localization, and transcriptome analysis.
