Evolutionary Histories of and .

The genus is widely distributed, primarily in East Asia. is located at the northern limit of this genus distribution, and understanding changes in its distribution is crucial for understanding the evolution of plants in this region, as well as their relationship with geological history and climate change. Moreover, the classification of sect.

Integrative taxonomy of the leaf-beetle genus Chevrolat, 1836 in Taiwan (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Chrysomelinae, Gonioctenini) reveals new synonymies and one new species.

Taiwanese species of are revised based on morphological, molecular, and ecological information. (Chen, 1934), (Jacoby, 1888), (Chûjô, 1958), and Kimoto, 1996 are redescribed. The study confirms that Phytodectatredecimmaculatusvar.

Floral traits of mammal-pollinated (Fabaceae): Implications for generalist-like pollination systems.

Floral traits are adapted by plants to attract pollinators. Some of those plants that have different pollinators in different regions adapt to each pollinator in each region to maximize their pollination success. (Fabaceae) limits the pollinators using its floral structure and is pollinated by different mammals in different regions.

Anticolorectal cancer effects and pharmacokinetic application of 2, 2-Bis [4-(4-amino-3-hydroxyphenoxy) phenyl] adamantane.

2, 2-Bis (4-(4-amino-3-hydroxyphenoxy) phenyl) adamantane (DPA) induced growth inhibition in human cancer cells using the national cancer institute (NCI) anticancer drug screen. In our previous study, we demonstrated that DPA exerted growth inhibitory activities in the three human colon cancer cell lines (Colo 205, HT-29, and HCT-15). To identify the detailed mechanism, we examined the functional importance of p21 and p53 in DPA-induced anticancer effect.
